Leslie W. Bray is a former classroom teacher turned unschooling mother of three young adults. As an advisor and guide she supports parents in building stronger connections with themselves, their children, and the communities they are part of. Drawing from over two decades of experience in life-learning, conscious parenting, and community leadership, she helps families navigate their own journeys with intention, clarity, consent and trust. Her work centers on partnership-based relationships, values-aligned living, emotional intelligence, and creating liberatory practices where both young people and adults can thrive. She supports parents just starting out, those figuring out the deschooling process, and those with young people moving through the teen years. She’s a writer and creative.

Dan Moeller is a teacher-turned-unschooling father, parenting coach, and advisor for self-directed education. He advocates partnership, consent, and youth empowerment. His specialties as a Guide include the topics of neurodivergence, deschooling, and helping parents get started on their own journey. He has an affinity for young people, creativity, and organic play having spent much of his life as a teacher and around families. He collaborates with his son on their Unschooling With Kai podcast and their hilarious in-progress book Bunny Stampede. He enjoys writing and reading about all things unschooling.

Kristen Himm spent nearly 20 years as a public school teacher before flipping the script and jumping feet first into the wild, wonderful world of unschooling with her two endlessly curious young people (ages 13 and 9). Now a passionate advocate for self-directed learning, Kristen believes deeply in trusting kids to follow their curiosities—and as the founder of an agile learning center, she’s seen firsthand the magic that happens when we step back and let them lead.

Through podcast appearances, writing, coaching, and community building, Kristen helps families and educators rethink what learning can look like. Her specialties as a guide include neurodivergence; transitioning from conventional schooling to child-centered learning; helping reluctant partners recognize the benefits of SDE; deschooling; and facilitating effective communication within families.

Meghan is a single parent partnered with adult and teen unschoolers, a long time youth rights advocate, community builder and facilitator of alternative programming to conventional school. She has worked with youth for over 15 years and currently runs ATX Flying Squad, an Austin based youth liberation collective that promotes autonomy, self-directed education and anti-oppression through collaborative exploration of the city. As a guide at Mosaic she offers support to adults moving away from control and toward partnership in both education and relationships. She believes empowering youth in collaborative decision-making within the community paves the way for a future where the personhood of all youth are not reduced to “adults in training” but recognized as fully capable of contributing meaningfully to society.
