The UNschool is now in session.

UNschool with Human Bravely

summer semester: UNf*ck –– or –– UNfit

May 28 through August 21.

For the first time ever, due to popular vote and demand, we will have TWO concurrent options for the summer UNschool semester. This page has general information about the UNschool program, so keep scrolling if you’re new to UNschool to see what it’s about. To learn more about each individual UNschool courses this semester:

go here to learn about UNf*ck (🔥) and

go here to learn more about UNfit (🧬).

If after reading each, you’re still having a hard time deciding, this might help:

UNFIT is for you if:

  • You’ve spent your life people-pleasing, shape-shifting, or performing to fit in.

  • You’re ready to stop shrinking yourself to be accepted — and be a lot more of who you really are.

  • You’re craving a life where your weirdness, largeness, and contradictions are sacred — not mistakes.

UNF*CK is for you if:

  • You want to rewild your wanting, your hunger, your aliveness.

  • You’re craving a space to practice saying, choosing, taking, and feeling without apology.

  • You want to build a life led by pleasure, clarity, power — not guilt, fear, or approval.

 

🤔 Still unsure? Ask yourself:

Do I want to reclaim the parts of me I buried to fit in — and live fully, wildly, as who I really am?
→ UNfit is your space.

Do I want to rewild my desire — and live from wanting, not fear, guilt, or performance?
→ UNf*ck is your space.

 

What participants have to say about the UNschool:

 

“Invited me to consider questions that have radically changed my life.”

“We personally and collectively explored practices of freedom, liberation, and healing.”

“I thought I knew what to expect with UNschool. I’ve worked with laura before, I love her approach, and I knew I’d find myself with a group of kind, curious humans on their own journeys. All of this was true, AND UNschool was so much more than I bargained for. UNschool led me right to the precipice of the cliff I didn’t know I needed to jump off of, and it prepared me so that when I finally jumped, the fall felt amazing, and the landing was soft. Unschool offered me a way to re-meet myself – exactly where I am – and give myself the love I needed to move into the next chapter of my life.”

“Inspired me to try on new ways of being, not as a self-change project but as an enticing opportunity to experiment and play with possibility.”

“What I got was something different and unexpected, and exactly what I needed…I’m so grateful to laura for being a fierce and gentle guide in the process!”

“Learning environment filled with teaching, supportive insights and aha moments.”

“UNschool offered me a compassionate container to dive into a deeper understanding of myself.”

“During my third semester of UNSchool I decided to work a little less hard, and strive a little less, and just show up and mostly listen. Even with a more passive approach – UNschool completely transformed my path….again. I feel sturdier, freer, more connected to myself, and clear about who I am and where I’m going. Being coached by laura, listening to others contemplate and play with possibility, and dreaming and creating in UNSchool is a gift we can give ourselves during these uncertain times.”

We all want growth, healing, and freedom — and — it’s hard to know how to do it.

Where to look. Which steps to take. What paths to cross…

So we read. We acquire knowledge. We think hard. We talk it out. We sometimes get ah-has, but we rarely experience change that lasts. Let alone healing. Or freedom.

And then come the sensations of defeat and overwhelm. Burnout and isolation. Giving up, or closing in.

It’s a cyclical shit storm of peaks and valleys, highs and lows, lots of effort, and minimal change.

This happens to us as individuals. As groups and organizations. Many of us grew up with this notion of school and training being an add-on – layering new information and skills on TOP of who we already are. Believing that we have to acquire more things (knowledge, approval, proof points, skills) in order to feel whole or accepted. The UNschool knows that unless you look in and transmute some of the existing layers first, you can’t learn/acquire/add-on your way to liberation. The foundation must shift. Harmful, limiting ways of being must be UNlearned.

Healing is nuanced and personal/professional growth in healing ways is nuanced, too. It requires a custom fit, not a one-size-fits-all. It requires stepping outside ourselves, which we aren’t taught to do. It requires thinking differently. Feeling differently. Growing differently.

More than anything, it requires UNlearning. UNdoing. Unlocking. Unleashing.

Welcome to the

 

UNschool with Human Bravely

 

For your custom UnLearning

 

We think transformation / growth / healing is about acquisition – of knowledge, of skills, of certificates, of concepts, of accolades, of proof … But the truth is that Transformation / Growth / Healing is about loss.

Healing, change, growth, and freedom involve:
LESS learning MORE healing.
LESS knowledge MORE practice.
LESS acquisition MORE letting shit go.
LESS efforting MORE ease-ing.

In the UNschool, we will tackle the things many of us have learned to acquire and put on: perfectionism, imposter syndrome, scarcity, control, urgency, self-doubt/critique, fear-based living/decision-making, defensiveness, performed strength/togetherness, questions of enoughness …

 

 

There is so much to be gained through loss. And there’s a lot of shit to lose.

The What

At the UNschool, you get CUSTOM:
Coaching.
Practice.
Growing.
Changing.
Developing.

You get a radical container with a radical coach to give you rocket fuel for your radical human being.

This course will help you: Think. Feel. Act. Heal/Grow/Change. Toward who you long to be. Who you are at your core. Before you learned ways of being that held you back.

Think of it as a gym membership for your human/healing/freedom development muscles WITH a personal trainer. And a cheerleading squad.

The How

The UNschool is a 3-month (12 week) semester so that we can go deep and create lasting change in your life.

Every semester, there is a theme/greater context — like perfectionism. Urgency. Effort. Imposter Syndrome. Hustle culture. Big shit we’ve learned to pick up and put on, that we need to take off and put down. The stuff that often stands in the way of our healing/growth/freedom that is there for us to UNlearn.

Your semester involves 3 live classes a month, led by me, your instructor. In every class, we’ll hone the skills/wills/drills needed to go toe to toe with your unlearning. And then I’ll coach live in the group. Clients tell me that witnessing and engaging in my live group coaching sessions have been some of the most intimate, courageous, and transformative moments of their lives.

What makes the UNschool even more unique is that on top of class, you get private one to one coaching as soon as the program begins. With me. 3 weeks out of every month.

Like any good UNschool, you’ll also have custom assignments: workout routines for your growing healing muscles, reflection prompts, and challenges.

The Deets

UNschool with Human Bravely

The current UNschool semester begins May 28th and concludes August 20th. UNf*ck will have sessions most Wednesdays from 12:30-1:30pm EST. UNfit will have sessions most Thursdays from 3-4pm EST. You can find the complete class schedule in the first question of the FAQ section.

Applications for the current term close Sunday November 24th at 11:59pm. Seats for this semester are limited.

Your UNschooling tuition (which includes private one to one coaching) is $297 per month. A semester is three months ($891 total).

This semester only, if you’d like to participate in BOTH UNschool courses, you can take advantage of a significant tuition discount: $1399 ($699 per course vs. $891; nearly $400 off your tuition).

You can experience the UNschool RISK FREE. Come to your first class. Experience your first coaching session. If for any reason you decide it’s not the UNschool for you, you can email us and we’ll refund you immediately. No justification needed. No questions asked.

As soon as the term begins, you get access to:

Weekly classes for the term content PLUS group coaching, where you can see others get coached and raise your own hand to get additional coaching.

Forums on class content, where you can ask questions (anonymously if you like) and also read other people’s insights/questions.

Weekly custom assignments unique to you/your healing and learning.

And of course, private 1:1 weekly coaching with laura. You are guaranteed a potent 20-minute private coaching session with laura three weeks of every month (one week off for reflection). You can also request additional coaching.

The tuition is $297/month for the length of the semester. A 3-month semester course would be a total tuition of $891. You can continue your enrollment into the next semester or not. There are sliding scale and financial support options available. And remember, if you can’t choose between the courses, you can get $400 off your total tuition and participate in BOTH for $1399.

Spots for each semester are limited since laura can only work with so many people 1:1. An application is required. We will have a waitlist for those who apply after the semester is full and let you know if a spot opens up.

Applications open April 28 and close May 11. The summer semester begins May 28/29.

Reinvention can be liberating, rooted in your values and purpose, and aligned with the world you want to help create. Ready to roll?

Healing is hard work.

But it doesn’t have to be a struggle. Or elusive. Or lonely. Or overwhelming.

We all deserve a coach to support us in our journey.

We all deserve to UNlearn the toxic shit that holds us back. To change. To grow. To build an ethic of freedom that is personal to us.

Reach out with any questions. And. Don’t just take it from us. Listen to Colin talk about coaching with laura in service toward his freedom. We think he gives a powerful summary of what unlearning is really about.

Welcome to your UNlearning.
Welcome to the UNschool.

How much does the semester theme determine the content? What if the theme doesn’t resonate?

The theme will determine the content that laura teaches on each week and will inform (but not determine) your coaching work with laura. However, the theme will change every three months and you can always wait to enroll until a theme really lights you up. Themes will change each semester.

Why is an application required?

A few reasons. First, spots are limited and we will nearly certainly not be able to offer everyone a spot who wants to join. An application helps us determine which folk might be served particularly powerfully by the thematic content that month. Additionally, not everyone allows themselves to be coachable. Sometimes we have an intellectual appetite for learning, but we don’t have the appetite for change in our lives. The UNschool is about change. The application questions are designed to help us ensure that we’re building a cohort of UNschoolers who really want to do the deep inner work of healing.

Is this personal or professional development?

Yes. Both. More. All. It is emotional, personal, professional, spiritual, holistic, human, embodied development. It would be totally appropriate for someone to take this course as “professional development” as long as they know it will ask much more of them.

Will I be expected to talk about my race & racial equity? Is the UNschool seated in an explicit position of racial justice and equity?

Yes. There is no healing that doesn’t involve unlearning systems of domination, control, subjugation, repression, and oppression from all of our bodies. That work looks different based on our identity markers, but it would be impossible to extract racial justice and race and systems of oppression from a course about deep healing and unlearning.

How will this experience be customized for me?

A few ways. Your weekly 1:1 coaching is completely private and completely about you. You will get to determine how to leverage that space to help you in your unique healing journey. In addition to that, laura as your coach will help you create a custom curriculum just for you. Nearly every week, laura will offer challenges, homework assignments, and reflection questions BASED on your coaching sessions so that you have totally-unique-to-you support in your work.

Are there scholarships?

Yes. There are scholarships for folk with systemic/intergenerational financial constraint, as well as reparative-justice based tuitions for Black and Indigenous/Native people. There are also ways for folk with financial and systemic privilege to opt into a higher tuition to support and offset the participation of those needing to pay less. The standard tuition is $297. Supported tuition is $237. Boosted tuition is $357. Your elected tuition will have no bearing on whether or not you are accepted to the UNschool.

How do I book coaching sessions?

When the term begins, you’ll be given a unique username and password to use to sign into a site that will house course materials. In the site, there will be a calendar program where you can sign up for your weekly 20-minute coaching session. Note: laura’s availability is very limited. We recommend the first thing you do every week is lock in your coaching time. Most coaching availability will generally be Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays 12:30-5:30pm EST with a few other pockets available.

How do I prepare for coaching sessions? Can we really accomplish much in 20 minutes?

Let’s address the latter first: we can change your life in 20 minutes. In one single conversation. So having a conversation almost every week for three months can be completely game-changing.  More can be realized in that time than most people know. It does take a little practice to come prepared to sessions in order to fully maximize your time. When you enroll, you’ll get access to a video at the start of the semester on tips and strategies to prepare for coaching sessions and laura will help get you started.

How do I attend live classes during the semester?

You’ll receive zoom links and be able to download calendar reminders for live classes.

Are classes recorded?

Yes. And they’ll be available in your membership portal for your access at any time.

How will I pay?

You will be charged $297 – or your adjusted tuition amount – every month for the 3 month semester. You will not be charged again unless you re-enroll.
