Talk Title: Release, Rest, Remain: A Simpler Way. Homeschooling can easily become overwhelming as we try to do more, be more, and keep up. This session invites you to release unrealistic expectations, embrace a posture of rest, and remain rooted in what truly matters. You’ll leave feeling lighter and equipped with a simpler, more grounded approach to homeschooling that prioritizes presence over pressure.

Talk Title: The Four Essential Stages of a Living Childhood. We’re all here because we believe something different about childhood—that it’s meant to be protected, prolonged, and preserved. But there’s an inconvenience to raising children this way. The siren call of culture and the pull of peers are always drawing us toward what’s easy and expected. And yet, the most challenging parts of childhood are often the most formative. These are the four crucial stages that determine what is kept… and what is lost.

Leslie Martino has over twenty years of experience teaching—as an elementary school teacher, a home educator, and an adjunct lecturer for graduate courses focused on the role of the teacher in supporting children’s individual work preferences. She homeschools her four children and works as an educational consultant, writing curricula, training teachers, and coaching parents to approach learning in an interest-based and child-directed way. She is a speaker on topics of education and motherhood and is also a contributing writer for the Wild + Free homeschooling community.

Leslie Martino is the author of the book The Joy of Slow: Restoring Balance and Wonder to Homeschool Learning with TarcherPerigee/PenguinRandomHouse. She is also the creator of the Thrive at Home Coaching Program, designed to help homeschooling moms find clarity and confidence, and learn practical skills for becoming more capable educators, especially in mentoring self-directed learners. Leslie and her husband are originally from New York City but now live in Central Florida. Leslie loves connecting with others, exploring new things and places, reading, and creative endeavors.

Talk Title: A Return to What Matters Most. What we come back to isn’t new, but it is often what we’ve slowly left behind. This talk is an invitation to step away from noise, pressure, and the subtle drift toward performance in home education. Leslie will explore how learning begins to flourish again when families reorder their days around relationship, attention, and meaning.
