What if deschooling wasn’t just about learning? What if it was also about grief, ritual, and honoring the life that unfolds when we stop trying to control it?

In this powerful conversation, we sit down with Akilah S. Richards - author of Raising Free People and longtime voice of liberation in learning and living. Akilah shares how her journey has moved beyond deschooling, into the work of tending grief, slowing down, and trusting what life is calling us toward.

We explore:

- Why grief and liberation are inseparable

- How to compost the past instead of dragging it

- Ritual as resistance to urgency

- What it means to stop designing life and start following it

This episode is an invitation - to presence, to possibility, and to the courage of not knowing.
