May Ling Thomas

I am a home educator of 2 girls and a transformative coach, and through the process of becoming and being a parent, I find myself actively and joyfully recovering from life as a neo-liberal capitalist. It is a dance of revelation, horror, hopelessness and grief, and, on the flip side, deep love, gratitude, connectedness, faith - and concious action.

As I see it now I'm interested in three particular threads;
1. rebuilding a local food network and recovering my own capabilities as part of this eco-agriculture system
2. how to make the umbrella term "regenerative education" 'a thing' that is seen as worthwhile, valuable and integral to our future
3. how to make and grow a self-directed education setting so that it is not dependent on parents ability to pay, within a still very capitalist economy (and ultimately make self-directed education a truly viable alternative to our coercive, colonial school model)

I'm especially keen to connect with people who consider themselves part of the "regenerative education" movement to see how we can bring together our lived experience, community and collaboration to transform our capitalist culture.
