Life Moves Pretty Fast...

SOLD OUT!


Let's take over a bustling theater rehearsal hall. 

Inside, together with 50+ of your new best friends, we’ll spend the day doing all the things—rehearsing the brave learning tactics you want to use effortlessly with your kids, while dosing up on some awesome adulting for you!

This is a day of practices not theory

In Brave Writer fashion, expect enchantments to abound. We’ll indulge in 

  • nature journaling
  • freewriting
  • art appreciation
  • improv (brand new!)
  • copywork
  • dictation practices
  • narrating and conversing
  • parenting tricks
  • enchanting education
  • and more! 

By the end of the day, you’ll be certified (and confident) in the Brave Writer way.

We're also going to enjoy theater and art together!

This is a weekend for both professional development and awesome adulting. We’re keeping it small so it will be intimate (only 55 of us). Can’t wait to see who comes! We’ll have the best time!

“Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”
(Ferris Bueller, patron saint of unschoolers)


What's included, Bogart?

Morning snacks, tea, and coffee of course! 

For lunch, choose from a catered menu of delicious sandwiches and salads (vegans welcome!).

  • grilled chicken sandwich
    balsamic marinated grilled chicken breast with goat cheese spread, spiced carrot
    marmalade, and baby arugula on focaccia
  • buffalo cauliflower wrap
    shredded carrot, vegan ranch cream cheese, and greens in a flour tortilla 
  • Verlasso salmon niçoise
    mixed greens and chopped romaine, seared salmon, whole grain marinated new potatoes, kalamata olives, haricots vert, toybox tomatoes, and red wine vinaigrette, served on the side
  • chicken Caesar caprese
    chopped romaine, grilled marinated chicken, marinated Ciliegine fresh mozzarella and
    Toybox tomatoes, toasted pine nuts, fresh basil and parmesan lemon dressing, served on the side (chicken is on the side, if you prefer a meatless option)

Take your boxed lunches to Washington Park across the street (weather permitting) or enjoy them inside the spacious theater.

An evening to remember:
"Twelfth Night" at Cincinnati Shakespeare Company

After that hardworking, totally fun day, you’ll roam freely to find a great dinner spot in Over the Rhine (Cincinnati’s hip dining quarter)—walking distance from the theater.

Return by 7:15 PM for an evening of high entertainment and awesome adulting! 

We'll attend the live stage production of Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night” in the very theater where we spent the day! 

Psst: this is the same Shakespeare company that taught my kids back when they were homeschooled. Phenomenal resident company.


Optional and wonderful:
Visit the Cincinnati Art Museum with Julie

On Sunday, meet me on Mt. Adams for an optional tour of the Cincinnati Art Museum. I’ll show you how to hang out with art (for your own enrichment) and how to take your kids with you.
