Below are videos of several mothers whom I filmed at their recent closing day for their EPIC AdventureTM --
Heroes: A Rendezvous With Destiny, (about World War II).
(I discovered that next time I must take the mothers to a quiet place. Please excuse the background noise!)
More to come!

"You shouldn't call this a workshop -- there's nothing out there like this. This was fabulous!" From an evaluation form after a two-day workshop.
"The reason why I love the EPIC AdventureTM is because it is such a powerful tool. An EPIC AdventureTM resonates so well because all of us are on an epic journey in our lives. If you have a theme then it's great, because you make connections and everything, but with the EPIC AdventureTM you experience a deeper level, because it relates to you and your life's mission. You're not just learning from curiosity, but from a deeper sense of purpose. Your life is an epic adventure. I like the fact that the EPIC AdventuresTM we've experienced always intertwine with the children themselves, what their mission is and their role in life." "I love our school year songs! That is what really inspires me. Whenever I don't feel like doing school, I just sing our song and I just want to dive in and do even more!" Josh C. - California Five-year-old Josh overheard his mother and father discussing plans for their EPIC AdventureTM in the coming year. He said, "I don't know what you're talking about, but whatever it is it sounds awesome!" "My husband and I are the happy parents of six wonderful children. We subscribe to the Thomas Jefferson Education Model of homeschool and I am so happy to have found this group of Courageous Beings which so strongly shows me how to inspire my children to greatness!" "I am looking forward to the EPIC Guild. I'm excited about being better prepared and organized for next year. I know that the big difference in 'doing adventures' vs. 'doing school' is the mom's excitement and involvement. If we fall into the trap of buying a history textbook and assigning chapters, we remove ourselves from the course so much. I recently read that we don't want to merely cover topics, bu to UNcover them and explore them." "I found your website somehow one day, and when my husband came home that night, he couldn't believe the energy I was giving forth. You were definitely the inspiration I needed. Thanks so much. I used to do homeschool in a style similar to yours, but in the last few years I really got bogged down in 'what they need to know.' the life got sucked right out of my home- school and along with it much of the joy. We had already begun our study of the Middle Ages in September, but yesterday, I revealed some of the secrets I'd been working on since I found your website. We are now on a Rejuvenating Pilgrimage!! Geoffrey Chaucer, John Bunyan, and the National Cathedral in D.C. are all in my plans. We are transforming the upstairs hall into a sanctuary (sort of) with a stained glass window and character stones to cover the wall. The children loved their life books more than I had anticipated -- I used my scrapbooking stuff to make individual covers... Thanks again so much." Carol Palmer - Victorville, California

"It's so fun, the kids love it! They learn so
fast and they don't even realize they're
learning. I have one child in my family
who prefers our school days over Disneyland. When I say,
'Harrison, school today.' He says, "YES!"
