You’re not the only one
Your toddler cries his lungs out every time you try to leave him behind at kindergarten – and honestly, you feel exactly the same: this feels SO wrong!
Your girl has lost all her spark and her bubbly life energy since she started school, and she gets migraines and tummy aches almost every week.
The dentist is pushing you to use fluoride on your kids’ teeth, and you almost got reported to the social services because you had a homebirth – even though you had your absolute dream birth, and the baby is so well.
Your eldest leaves home tired every single morning – he has always had more energy in the evenings, and having to get up at 6am just doesn’t give him enough sleep – even when he goes to bed early. Every single morning is a struggle for him.
And you? You watch your beautiful children and know: THIS. Is not IT.
This is not why you became a mum.
This is not how you want to see your kids growing up.
This is not how you want to spend life with(out) them.
Today, you draw a line in the sand. You decide to create a way of living for your family that is not against the kids’ nature and needs and your family values, but supportive of them – even though you have no idea what this path looks like.
This is exactly why you landed here. You are absolutely the right place, lovely! Because…
Community and support from people who get it is all you need right now.
And from there, let's craft your path. Together.
A path where
The kids are sleeping until they are well-rested
Calm, snuggle-filled mornings with nourishing breakfasts
Family picnics by the beach on a random Wednesday morning
Learning maths through baking gluten-free brownies, and
Daily conversations with like-hearted mamas
are your normal.
Welcome to a free series of incredible workshops - find your people, your support & your path.

Your people are waiting: launch a local meetup group next week
Most mums are longing for offline connections with like-hearted people – and often, what is missing is not the people (most people don’t realise the amount of families with similar values in their area) but someone bringing them together. Creating a local group has been absolutely life-changing for me as well as for the beautiful mums inside of my mentorship spaces – and I bet it will do the same for you!
In this workshop, I will teach you the exact steps for you to create your local group of like-hearted families. The exciting news: you could have your first meet-up next week!

Rooted in unconditional love – a new era of parenting.
The way you have been raised has left many wounds, limiting beliefs and dysfunctional patterns – and you are dedicated to raise your kids differently, so that they don’t need to walk with such heavy emotional luggage and can grow up being well, believing in themselves, and shining their unique light. But how?
In this workshop, I will teach you 10 essential pillars of peaceful parenting – a path to making your kids grow up connected, trusted, seen and loved.

Unschooling/worldschooling – but where?
Homeschool laws – climate – culture – food – people – animals – water access… So many aspects to think of!
You probably know where you don’t want to be. But how do you find out where you DO want to be, and which place matches your family?
In this workshop, I will take you along into the decision-making process that I have used myself to find “home” over and over again over the past 11 years, and teach you the most important tools so that you, too, can navigate your choice of place with much more clarity.

Open hearts, shared homes & helping hands: the (almost) instant way to call in a village
Hosting volunteers in our home and travelling as volunteers has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made in my entire life. I have never found a single other way to bring togetherness and support into our lives THIS fast. (Plus, as a bonus: all of us have made life-long friends from across the planet.)
In this workshop, I will share with you about some of the 40+ experiences that we’ve made with volunteers/volunteering as a family, so you get a tangible idea about what this could look like. Also, you will walk away with the 6 must-haves in order to make sure that you’ll have the most support-giving, beautiful experiences.

The Portal. Money-making for un-/worldschoolers.
THE big question. How do you make it work financially? Let’s talk about the elephant in the room: MONEY.
I’ll take you along onto my own journey of money making – get ready for a transparent, vulnerable insight into 11 years of unschooling and solo-providing. Afterwards, I will share with you the most important lessons that I have learned – and that I wish I would have known before I started.

Your needs are your North Star: building your life around what matters most – A roadmap to thriving families.
Stop sacrificing your family’s needs for the system. Learn to build a life where your deepest needs (and desires!) guide every decision.
This workshop is for courageous parents and other leaders who are ready to question, re-imagine, to break dysfunctional cycles, re-design your way of living and parenting, and to become a pioneer and lighthouse for other conscious parents.
The intention of this final workshop of this series is to bring together extraordinary parents to remind you that you are not alone. I will share how I am living this – and have been for the past 11 years – to give you an idea of what this can look like, and remind you that this is possible for you, too. And I will teach you the three pillars that are essential for you to live a life that truly honors the needs of your family.
Thursday, March 26th at 20hrs CET (Convert to your local time zone here.)
Each workshop will be ca. 45-75 min long, and – depending on the timing – there will be room for questions and shares at the end.
Replays will be accessible for one week for everyone who signs up.
You were never the only one - you just haven't found your people. Yet. Just wait until the end of this week together and see how all of this shifts... I can't wait to welcome you inside!

Meet your host
Hi! My name is Rebecca, I am the woman behind It takes a village, and I am SO excited that you are here!
Already many years before becoming a mother, I turned into a passionate community creator. Since living in multiple countries for many decades, I basically feel like a foreigner and outsider anywhere on the planet, and I noticed early that I was not the only one longing for togetherness – especially when you feel different than the majority of people.
When I then became a mum, I right away started this new chapter of my life with a bunch of non-conventional choices such as birthing my children at home AND without any medical staff, co-sleeping with my children, carrying them in slings, not sending them to daycare, breastfeeding them for many years etc.
Suddenly I was even more different than “just” being a foreigner. More than ever before I felt the need for togetherness with other people who would not only accept me but deeply support and inspire me to follow my heart, even through the most challenging times. And I found them. And they turned into my nourishing, supportive “village”.
I get to be the mama of the most beautiful little adventurers who never have been to any institutions, who share my love for walking barefoot and for indulging in freshly picked berries, for the sea, campfires, baking, gardening, snuggles, amazing friendships across ages and cultures, and exploring different places on this planet. Together, we dream of building our own house with clay, and to grow a big fruit garden.
I also adore islands, sheep, and I think I might be addicted to underwhelm. (I.e. places where I feel calm and spaciousness, where I can easily see the moon and the stars, places that grow wild flowers, and where I often hear nothing but the sound of birds, waves, or the wind.)
During my years as a mother, I have had my fair share of challenges: from living in women’s shelters to recovering from people-pleasing/self-abondoning; from being a single mum and solo-provider to solving crazy situations while being in the middle of nowhere, off-grid, in the Caribbean rainforest; and many more.
At the same time, I have also been blessed with an infinite abundance of goodness – most of this emerged as a result of my conscious and courageous life choices, and through the amazing humans I get to be close to in my life.
In the early months of becoming a mum, I realised that I wanted to teach my children a whole bunch of the most beautiful values. But that I was not living them myself! This was a wake-up call, and the start of a massive shift in my life. Because I knew that it is not my words that would mainly teach my children, but the way I modelled my values by living them.
And the more I started following my inner compass, the more confident and courageous I felt to continue on this path.
Ever since then, I have had the honour to support 1000s of parents on their journey – and I am beyond excited to get to meet and support you, too. It would be an honour to welcome you inside. Remember: you are – by far – not the only one! ♥️
