#99: Tuning into new frequencies
Two weeks after my ayahuasca ceremony marathon in the jungle and the integration is blowing my mind… from no more cravings to smelling snakes, seeing people’s true intentions in one glance, lucid dreams on steroids, and so much more! This deep inner unschooling is showing me how to stay real, present, and connected. That’s the real unschooling. That’s what I’m taking with me from this jungle journey.
If you want to visit me in the jungle and go on crazy healing adventures, reach out to me on Telegram: @NotTheClemens
#98: Madre Ayahuasca
This week I'm taking you deep into the Amazon, where my son, our animals, and I moved in with a family we had just met to learn about healing, jungle medicine, and the parts of ourselves most people spend their whole lives avoiding. If you've heard me say that unschooling starts with deschooling yourself, this episode is about exactly that: facing old wounds, working through trauma, and discovering what becomes possible when we stop running from the parts of ourselves that need healing.
If you want to join me here in the beautiful jungle to go on...
#97: Why soul-led education matters, not only for your kid, but for humanity
I think we're all here for a reason, but most of modern life is pulling us away from discovering what that reason really is. Soul-led education is about helping our kids stay connected to themselves, think independently, become un-fuck-withable and follow their own mission instead of spending their lives running someone else's program.
#96: So much LOVE from the jungle!
In this episode, I share a day in our life in a small village in the beautiful Amazon, from jungle walks and seeing monkeys every morning to boat rides, village routines, and so much more. It’s a glimpse into our unschooling life here and the way I experience all of it with a looot of appreciation and love for what’s around us :)
#95: Finally in the Amazon <3
Finally in the Amazon, enjoying life, living with tribe people, boats instead cars, rivers instead of streets, and piranhas for breakfast
#94: Regenerative Education - A repost from Yoshi & Pola's workshop on "how to keep your kids out of school"
I joined a conversation on regenerative education as a guest, and it was refreshing to be part of a space where people are seriously questioning the current schooling system (how could you not).
We talked about why families are choosing alternative paths, what that looks like in real life, and how different people actually made the transition work around the world. A lot of personal stories, honest feedback about the challenges and learnings along the way, and a ton of inspiration!
This episode is part of the Regenerative Culture project, take a look at Yoshi...
#93: Is this a goodbye? w/only me ;)
I went quiet because life got real… I quit my job, traveled through Egypt, Portugal, and now Mexico with my son, and somewhere in all of that I stopped performing and actually started living, healing, and unschooling for real. Now I’m back (kind of), not with answers but with an open door :) if you want to co-create this podcast, share ideas, or just be part of whatever this becomes next, reach out.

#92: Unschooling is a Soul Mission- w/Jacky Herder from People For People
After a few months of traveling and searching for my own spark, I’m back with an episode that felt like a missing puzzle piece: a deep dive with Jacky Herder, the powerhouse founder of People for People in Madeira. Jacky shares her incredible journey from DDR roots and "fear coaching" to building a global village where kids actually lead their own learning… proving that when we stop trying to "fix" our children and start deschooling our own systemic fears, true freedom begins. We’re talking about breaking the cycle of "stupid-making" systems and rediscovering the unique gifts our kids w...

#82: Let's talk about creepy people on the internet - w/Tom Arnold
Tom Arnold, a cybersecurity expert, is highlighting a critical gap in education: cybersafety for kids! We all know, that most schools fail to educate kids on the very important things, for example cyber security. With the latest discussions about all the perverts on Roblox, the question is really: is there a way to keep kids safe in the online environment, do we have to take away their independence and fun?
I explore this realm with Tom, who wrote a kid’s book on cybersecurity – „The Digital Detective: https://a.co/d/7ddvRfC“ - after his son was approach...

Plus, thoughts on unschooling, meditation, and how my kid naturally learned English without formal lessons :)
