Homeschooling isn’t a straight line ~ it’s a journey made up of seasons, recalibrations, and returning to what matters most.
In the swirl of midyear, The Compass of the Seasons invites you to pause, reflect, and reorient yourself ~ to check your bearings and align with your inner true north.
Each season offers its own wisdom, its own passageways and waypoints.
At Taproot Online 2026, you’ll explore how the rhythms of the year can guide your homeschool ~ not just practically, but purposefully.
Through engaging workshops and heartfelt connection, you’ll:
✨ Recalibrate your inner compass
✨ Realign with what truly matters
✨ Rediscover your light, your rhythm, and your direction
We'll spend time reflecting, sharing in small groups, listening to stories, and engaging in learning activities together.
Whether you’re feeling a little lost or simply ready to re-center, this weekend is a chance to chart your course with intention and move forward with clarity and heart.
Join us as we Return to Center ~ guided by The Compass of the Seasons.
