At the intersection of social-emotional learning and climate action lies the perfect opportunity for craftivism! Calling all Tinker Belles, Maker Moms, DIY Dads...any and all rebels who hold the planet as their cause (and a glue gun in their holster):
Join us on the ranch and, together, let's make things better!
We are using the compassionate leadership curriculum from Roots and Shoots to self-organize ourselves into a craftivist collective focused on attending to the climate crisis. We are eager for all ages of life learners to join us!
Saturdays, from 2-4 pm join us for Tinker Belles - our girls-only maker space. Sometimes sporting tulle and always equipped with the right tools this group of girls is all about making dreams and visions come true! First time tinkerer? Join us! All you need to do is Make Believe in yourself! *This is a truly self-directed space with a Maker Mom on hand as support but only upon request. Our goal: Stay out of the way and let creativity flow!
It’s time!
I’m repurposing my life and the working title for the project is ”A Tending Tent”. In 2024 as I patchwork pieces together I’m going to be workshopping the material - gift economy style. I’m eager to share the craft(s) I’m honing with women willing to co-create and share a safe, nurturing space. Offerings and opportunities will be posted on the blog and event calendar as “A Tending Tent”.
The Outsiders' Inn is a ”life-learner led” bed and breakfast. And so far it’s proving to be our best all-encompassing learning project yet! Our first season up and running and we earned Air BnB superhost status! After our second season of meeting fantastic guests we realized that this endeavor is a treasure trove of stories just waiting to be told. 2024 we are launching our own StoryCorp project to capture just that - so you can come stay with us and share your own Inn Visible Abilities!
Systems thinking, Social-Emotional Learning and Eco-literacy are at the core of The Outsiders Ranch. Once a homeschool we’re transitioning to a launch pad for the mom those years remade. We are eager to offer what we learned in our years outside of the school system to other interested and willing life learners! Cycling with the seasons, we offer themes, prompts, and projects that encourage one to wonder (and wander when needed) in nature . Every day, outdoor, place-based learning happens naturally here with the earth as our lead teacher. The Outsiders' Ranch is a place for anyone leaving behind worn out systems of learning and relating to join a pack that has made a different pact about "being cool" - one that prioritizes how we care for ourselves, each another, and the one precious planet upon which we all depend. At the Outsiders Ranch neurodiversity and biodiversity are valued as precious gifts to be protected and nurtured.
