Our Mentors

Our team of highly-skilled and qualified facilitators are here to help children achieve full spectrum human potential.

They maintain the highest integrity and concern for your child’s wellbeing.  We believe in supporting and engaging the whole child, inside and out, in this critical stage of their development.

Raffy: ‘People like me, we think in circles.’ We make a journey in life, and life being a circle, we follow that circle.

I began life nurtured by my grandparents. My grandmother challenged me to see every child, parent, human – as a teacher.

My grandfather lived his life out as a phenomenal storyteller, laughing at every opportunity. Their guidance lead me to a distinguished career in experimental education and Forest Schooling.

With the birth of our first-born son I made a promise to complete that circle that took shape in the playful care of my Africa. 30 years later shifting gears to earth-school our own children.

I want every child to grow up with a parent who feels empowered and confident in their parental role. A parent who is free to enjoy their child and themselves. Envisioning all children thriving in Community Concentric Circles.
