How to Enable and Allow the Spirit of Your Child to flourish, using practical examples of teaching practice, advice on preparing the environment (emotional, physical, spiritual) and examples of best practice.

I speak of how we have come to rely upon top-down instruction rather than inside-outside investigation: leanirng prompted by our inner spiritual nature, rather than imposed upon us by those intendind to direct our behaviour.

35 years of research and pracitce int he realms of children's education, working with children and adults to transform the way we retain knowledge, gain understanding and develop confidence in our new skills, directed from our intuitions. My PhD (2000) and Books, as well as over 17 years of teaching practice for ages 2-83 from the foundation for this work. I have always seen we need something different and I have made it my life-mission to understand what this is, and bring it to the world.

My fee for giving talks is a nominal £120, but must include travel and accommodation. I can also use the internet and give the talk virtually.

I love children: I want them to have what they need to retain the knowledge they are an infinite being currently residing in a human body in order to develop experience, preferably through joyful interaction with people, things, ideas and nature.

Many, many parents like yourselves are turning towards Homeschooling, understanding the gap between current education systems and what your child needs is ever widening. Some of you are planning community schools. Some of you don't know where to start. Some of you end up following a curriculum, becoming the 'bossy mum' slave-driver, instead of the inspiring parent you want to be.

I help you change that.

My book, "From Duty to Joy" was written with you in mind. My three decades of loving, nurturing and creatively working with children equipped me to see from a different perspective. My formative childhood experiences, my PhD subject of research and all my subsequent work enables me to help you plan and design an environment for your child where learning blossoms naturally.

Physcal -yes, I love to design with you.

Emotional- yes, I love to enable you to identify and harmonise conflicting emotions

Mental -yes, I adore the discovery process of new understanding and processing diverse information systems.

I will say to any child -Whether you are learning to act, to dance or to sing, investigate trigonometry, decipher ancient languages or paint, (or choreography, song-writing, script-writing, producing, costume design, creating sets), it’s all about, what is it within you that wants to grow and develop.

In addition to public speaking events at privatefhomes, festivals and townhall meetings,

you can also 'employ' me to spend a day with you: observing, interacting and working with you on new suggestions, creative input and percspectives, often through relatively minor changes. Most of the time we have what we need beneath our noses- so to speak- we just have to be able to see everything with fresh eyes.

Email me using the form below or thespeakinghouse@inspirition.biz to arrange our day together: you, me and your child ( or children!) I charge £360 for the day with travel and accommodation extra, and together we prepare and transform your environment for happy, invigorating, successful home school learning.

What I love, is developing and exploring, and experimenting, and playing. From that landscape, you get beautiful, innovative, fresh exciting projects, as well as just the joy and fun of learning in your own unique way. It also means that, whoever is slow, whoever is fast, there are endless styles of learning and none of them are right or wrong. You can actually adapt and be fully yourself in this place.

If we can remind our children of the resilience of their human spirit, well, you’ve removed one of the big steps we’ve created in our society, which is ‘break, then mend’. You don’t have to break- you just grow.

My last fifteen years of teaching practice have been focused at one of the top primary schools in Britain. I have developed courses to aid those choosing to Homeschool to re-kindle their innate creative spirit, and I help parents create atmospheres conducive to their child learning at home.

I’ve written books: Singing Rainbows- a guide to your voice, Brave Souls: How to Act Good and Feel Better, The Source Energy Guide to Activating Your Creativity, and From Duty to Joy: a Handbook of Children’s 5-D learning as well as volumes of children's fiction.

The Speaking House is where this  creative magic happens, the environment is conceived from the basis of joy and creative development, formed of colour, nature and many unstructured materials.  This link to nature and its endless field of possibility and creative inspiration, is completely embedded in every interior and exterior room at The Speaking House.

An enormous amount of time and energy goes into preparing the environment, so that your child is activated onto transformational journeys.

Together,  we can enable children to stay vibrant, brilliant, creative, active, conscious, and alive, in this world.

Now, more than ever, we really need to give our children this, ‘leg up’, and give them the ability to maintain their inner stability. If they can retain a knowing of who they are, and their connection to their true inner-being, they have real hope.

In my mind, it is time to reverse this strange ‘inside-out’ quality that we have been experiencing in our world, and start to really invest and put our energy where it can truly do good work. This new paradigm of not leaving damage, which we need to heal from, - instead, maintaining, establishing, building, nurturing, strengthening, and developing the capacity of each child- this is the paradigm of sovereignty and personal power . We need to build it, we need to nurture it and we need to provide more places where this can happen.
