The weeks rolling by
Our time in Cabrera centers around the Hive and its community. It has been lovely hanging out with families who all have an adventurous spirit for travel and encourage their kids to learn through play and exploration. Frequent time at the beach, playing in the waves, leisurely outdoor dinners, and in the little pool at our house has been a source of great joy for the kids and for us as well. That said, our time here hasn’t been without little struggles. The Hive’s philosophy is more along the lines of “un-schooling”, which is child led and very unstructured. While a very worthwhile experiment for all of us, I think we can conclude that this type of learning is not the ticket for any of our kids, who all at their very different ways haven’t embraced the looseness of the setting. Carl and I have been filling our days with our work, as Carl has committed to his new position at Longview and I have been preparing for the next Open Call at Interlude.
