These last few days/weeks I am feeling a very deep sense of trust in our natural learning journey. I was so uncertain and doubting myself at the beginning of the year. I felt worried we had no structure, I felt concerned we had no direction. I was frustrated with how we were spending our days. But now I am feeling calm and enjoying our natural learning. This group and sense of community has been a huge part of that. I feel deeply connected to my kids and trusting of their journey. I know it is right for us. The decolonisation topic really helped me with that I used to have so much worry about whether I was doing the right thing and how my kids would 'turn out'.

Then I had this realisation...even if they're grown up, living at home, pursuing their own interests, hanging out with me (so basically how it is now) then I would be so happy and proud of them. It felt like 'there is no way I can get this wrong' if I keep on this path of connecting with them and always learning and growing myself.

Also me: lots of moments feeling frustrated, bored, irritable and disconnected. But the backdrop is full of joy and trust in this process.

Aware Parenting and natural learning is such a natural combination. Each have their challenges, and more so because the world is not currently oriented to support parenting this way. To have a space that champions and normalises both Aware Parenting and natural learning is such a gift.

I loved the combination of resources that this space offers. Focusing on one aspect each month helped to keep things simple and created a chance for deep learning across a wide range of topics. Having Facebook lives was a wonderful way to learn new information (or remember things known, but forgotten!), the Zoom calls were a beautiful way to feel connected and seen, and to receive compassionate listening. The Facebook community served as a great space to stay connected, to reach out for help and to support each other.

Joss and Marion offer unparalleled experience and knowledge. They’ve provided the most compassionate, loving facilitation I’ve experienced anywhere. Truly a model for what online learning, support and community spaces can be. It is the very embodiment of natural learning and the principles of Aware Parenting, in action.

I highly recommend this community. It is a beautiful way to immerse yourself in the principles of both natural learning and Aware Parenting, and to become part of a community of people with similar visions for their family and the world

When I joined this group I was feeling confused and unsettled in my home ed journey. I had a lot of old beliefs and old hurts from the domination culture that were preventing me from trusting myself and my children. I was also feeling a longing for community and a sense of helplessness around that.

Thanks to this community, I have shed so many layers of conditioning and school hurts. I am in a place of deep trust for each of my children's journeys with natural learning.

I am learning to follow their lead and learning and re-learning to drop my agenda of how things should be or what my kids are interested in.

Being part of Joss' and Marion's Natural Learning Community was a very healing experience for me. I have never before been part of a space that is so accepting, caring and supportive. The Natural Learning Community is a space that is the opposite of the DDC, a warm, loving space with real connection and acceptance of each individual's path. I am so deeply grateful to have experienced what this is like!

Over the past year, Joss and Marion took great care and time to feel and understand what's going on for me in individual situations and to support me by hearing me, sending love and trust and also making very helpful practical suggestions. These conversations often facilitated big shifts in stuck energy for me.

I also really enjoyed growing into the community and receiving and giving support to other parents and learning from them.

Thank you so much for this incredible space!!

The online Aware Parenting Community with Danni and Joss has been one of the most compassionate, safe and nourishing spaces to be in over the past twelve months. These two AMAZING Aware Parenting instructors collaborate in such a way that creates pure magic.

In the monthly Facebook live sessions, Danni & Joss refine the art of weaving theory, wisdom and story-telling together to create truely profound discussions. It felt like exclusive access to your own personal podcast series. Such a wide variety of insightful topics were covered which were guaranteed to be informative, interactive and totally relatable to our daily lives as parents.

For me personally, an absolute highlight of this membership were the monthly Zoom meetings. There was something so special about connecting with like-minded parents and sharing the challenges that parenting brings. Danni & Joss always held the most sacred and safe space within these live calls; allowing everyone to share vulnerably and honestly. All of our feelings were welcomed, and we were only ever met with love, compassion and empathy. I left every single zoom meeting feeling heard, seen, understood and acknowledged..this feeling was truely priceless!

Danni & Joss - you have created such a wonderful resource for parents to experience. Thank you both for the work that you do, it is so so important to this world. Now everyone else - go check it out!…if you are looking for a place to feel uplifted and supported by an epic group of people, the Exploring Aware Parenting Community is for you!

Being a part of Joss and Danni’s community during the first year of motherhood has been an invaluable lifeline for me. I’m so grateful I came across Aware Parenting and then found this group - the deeply compassionate holding of people’s experiences, worries and joys was a source of great hope and support for me as I navigated this enormous transition. The wisdom shared and resources signposted have laid the foundation for what I hope will be a lifetime of Aware Parenting for me and the beginnings of my own journey to share this beautiful and important work. Thank you so much

I wanted to express my gratitude for the wonderful community you've created. Your knowledge and the way you present it have been truly incredible. During times when I needed support and understanding, I found it in our discussions. Your warmth and genuine care have made me feel truly seen and valued.

Thank you for your encouragement and love

Danni and Joss create a space where one can be held, affirmed and guided both gently and sometimes even with a little fire towards their patenting potential. It’s very evident that a lot of thought and care goes into each months topics, content, guides and questions; these are invitations to dive in or gently nibble at the offerings as best suits the busy parent on their journey at this time. Thanks I do so appreciate all Joss and Danni are doing in the world.

The things I’ve learned so far from these two ladies has already had a huge positive impact on our family.

It has helped us, parents and child alike, to mature and strengthen. Once seemingly pointless and disruptive conflict has been almost entirely replaced with empathy and resilience creation. And that’s after less than 2mths!!

Absolutely recommend jumping onboard. There is beautiful support, no judgment and SO much value!!

Danni and Joss are wonderful

Joss is an immense wealth of parental knowledge and advice.

Coming from a deep seat of compassion and empathy, Joss has supported me in my journey though the pitfalls of parenthood and given me the support and knowledge I needed to navigate my darkest moments with my children.

Being a single Father with a majority of custody, Joss has supported my path forward, not only with regards to my children, but also with their mother and the dynamic that intertwines that triangle of power.

Whether it was listening to her podcasts or dealing direct in one on one consultations, Joss has helped my family come back to the basics of connection, awareness, love and joy with a big focus on the beauty and healing properties of play and loving support.

From dealing with learning disorders, homeschooling, depression & anxiety, drugs & alcohol and just plain defiance, joss has helped me across the full spectrum of childhood issues with a calm, balanced and conscious energy that invigorates you and leaves you feeling like there is hope.

These little humans don’t come with an instruction manual so it is so comforting to know that people like Joss are around to help those of us who are struggling.

Good conscious parenting is hard, but the rewards are bountiful and there is nothing more fulfilling in this world than watching our children thrive and learn the ways of this world under the safety of our care and guidance in a connected and balanced way.

Thank you for your help and guidance.

My partner and I love working with Joss. Joss has such a wealth of experience in Aware Parenting and her approach is grounded & deeply caring. We contacted Joss because our toddler really struggled with the transition to having a new baby brother. I recall thinking many times in the initial months after having our second baby, ‘oh I’m having yet another unenjoyable parenting moment, and another, and another!!’. I felt emotionally stretched and worn out, and so did my partner.

Our sessions with Joss have supported us to prioritise more self care & nurturing, foster deep compassion for ourselves and our little ones, listen with abundant presence to big feelings, play with the magical powers of play & continue the journey of re-parenting ourselves! That’s a whole lot of value isn’t it!! I highly recommend Joss - she’s an empowering super-power coach who has supported us to access our own super-powers more and more. Big hearted appreciation to you Joss
