Welcome!

The LIFE is Good Conference invites you to join us and experience an unschooling community first hand. You’ll have an opportunity to make new friends, deepen existing friendships, form connections and find the piece that just may be missing from your unschooling journey – a strong, supportive and vibrant group of families to share it with.


There won’t be talk of curriculum or worksheets, but there will be plenty of sharing of information, support, and resources. You will be able to ask questions and get ideas from experienced unschoolers. Best of all, you will be surrounded by free families where kids are not only respected but enjoyed!

    “This is truly an unschooling conference – there are no “experts” lecturing, and no “curriculum” or “educational” items being feverishly pitched. Families are the experts and fun is the name of the game – every activity is for the whole family, children are the feature of the event and everything is open to them…It is a pretty cool feeling just to be surrounded by families of all ages who live unschooling every day, and totally get your life without you having to explain a thing! Being part of this conference has been life changing for our family.” -Gillian

    “Thank you so much for giving us all a chance to meet people from all across the world. I have made so many friends here, and have experienced so much. I started going when I was 9 years old and have almost always felt incredibly comfortable at the conference. I met my best friend here, I met my boyfriend here, so many amazing experiences, and I’m so glad to have been able to be a part of it.”  -Guinevere

    “Thank you for … putting together such a lovely conference that supports our kids and families, rather than stokes sales of curricula companies and anxieties that we have as parents (especially those of us that have trust issues when it comes to this unschooling lifestyle we’ve chosen when keeping our kids home.)” -Whit

    “I just wanted to let you know that the conference you’ve held over the years has been the best moments of my life. I’ve made life long friends that I couldn’t imagine life without. My girlfriend and I met 3-4 years ago at LIG and she’s the love of my life. I would never have met any of those amazing people without you, the staff and the conference. Thank you, thank you for all the amazing memories, all the fun times, all the crazy shit that happened there.” -Alex

Discover the Northwest as it was meant to be seen at the rustic Heathman Lodge in Vancouver, Washington. Built with hand-hewn logs and adorned with décor indigenous to the area, the Heathman Lodge resonates with the true flavor of the Northwest. Conveniently located in the heart of Vancouver and just minutes from Portland, it has been said that with its rustic mountain timber construction, oversize pine furniture and massive basalt fireplaces, The Heathman Lodge is “the unexpected urban retreat.”
