In epsiode 2 of Alt/Ed Explorers, we interview Ellen Freel, a primary teacher at the Maharishi School in Lancashire.

Ellen shares her thoughts on how consciousness-based learning and Transcendental Meditation shape not just calmer classrooms, but more focused and connected students.

Whether you're new to alternative education or just curious about how small changes at home can support your child's wellbeing, this episode gives you a window into what a "meditating school day" looks like and how you can start to look into some of these methods at home.

"Imagine if everybody meditated... how much better the world would be, how much more peaceful" - Ellen Freel

Listen. Reflect. Comment. Share. And imagine what could be possible...

In this first episode of Alt/Ed Explorers, we dive into the world of Self Managed Learning (SML), a powerful alternative to traditional schooling where young people are trusted to take charge of their own education, guided by mentors.

We speak with Dr Ian Cunningham, founder of the Self Managed Learning College, about:

- Why traditional schooling is stuck in the past

- How SML nurtures autonomy and thinking outside the box

- The five questions we should be asking our children (and ourselves) to make sure we're on the right path.

Listen, share, and follow for insights into alternative education models and how you can implement some of them in your own home!
