Learn While Living,
Welcoming Villagers soon !
Our why ... True story!
When we began homeschooling in 2016 there were only a few scripture driven sites, most were based in Western Australia and their fees were hefty.
Solo parenting meant budget was very important, time was limited already + home learning with unique needs... It was A LOT!
So, I took the easy route I thought, by doing school at home and following what was already happening in mainstream, unable to find anything else.
However, following the curriculum did not make learning engaging, rewarding or fun for any of us. It became a chore, lacked soul, independent thought and creativity. Not to mention it wasn't easy to assess, not being a teacher and all.
So to change things up I asked my son's Keigh and Jessy, "What would you like to learn about ?" That was off the back of Keigh saying he didn't feel like he was learning anything and was frustrated.
Jessy then piped up and said he felt the same, quickly stating he wanted to learn about things in the sea.
From that very first question, it changed the whole dynamic of learning at home in more ways than I could've imagined.
My children instantly became enthusiastic, and having a say in what they could learn about - meant all the difference.
It felt like we hit the road sprinting - forget running, with ideas flowing and so much so, we had to get organised to house them all and plan.
That is when I created our first Planner+ learning journals and games to align.
With gusto in our energy, and ready to take on learning however it came, we began joining wild life parks, attending aquariums, museums, art galleries and using indoor and outdoors moments for "Experiential Learning"
Experiential Learning, Roadschool and Worldschool is next-level. Don't be mistaken! Opening the door to the possibilities of learning from that mindset can only enhance ANY journey, whether in mainstream or an alternative style.
Although it was not labelled "Experiential Learning" back in 1988 when I began my journey, shortly into this new vibe the possibilities became real very quickly. I knew what was possible, and how amazing our journey could actually be, having already dedicated my life to learning this way.
Still to this day I can recall countless intricate details decades on, and believe its down to the way, but also how thats been shaped making it more engaging than anything else I've witnessed in 7+ life cycles.
With my own global experiences and skills under my belt, they inspired and drove me to be bolder and braver than ever before.
After a few trips to different places, spending a longer time each time, we decided to give up our comfy house for a mobile home (camper trailer) to travel.
With an open mind to discover "what may" as their mumma bear first, and mentor in a new light - we set off with a 3 year goal.
Hundreds of experiences followed from permanently being on the road from 2016, which completely changed our lifesyle,
family dynamic, the way we saw and interacted with the world, people, cultures, ethics, life and ultimately learning to enrich.
Learn While Living is not re-inventing the wheel, it's about sharing the special sauce, and in essense gifting what we captured - alternative learning or not!
It is with pleasure, something authentic and real has transpired to humbly share.
If you got this far, then perhaps this is really for you - you must be curious and want more.
Crafted from 37 years of Lived Experiences
Since 2016, recognizing a lack of versatile and engaging learning resources adaptable to diverse learning styles for both young people and adults, I decided to create my own.
It's on-point, creatively interactive, adventurous, FUN library for the whole family.
"Learn While Living library assets, pays homage' to the McVay families style, which which maintained our curiosity and zest for adventure learning in discovery mode, but essentially to - Learn While Living."
What's different & Is it better?
Villager Platform Access:
As mentioned early in this piece, budget was super important, and this library was created to move with the times. With consideration for cost effective, aligned and a rewarding library, we assign the one time offer for the whole family - living at the same residence.
However, we are limited with spaces.
Learn While Living library includes hundreds;
*Print & Play Games to craft, create, learn and more
*Go-To-Guides to help navigate different styles and topics
*Journals & Planner+ to build skills, take action, resonate and reflect
*Events that cater to a world where learning and fun go hand in hand
*Resources tailored to multiple styles, designed for authenticity and expression
*Topics To Entice & Activities To Inspire Experiential Learning learning in discovery mode
*Stories to Engage & Equip, and ultimately understand the power, and what it means to Learn While Living, Loving the journey...
As time has gone on, the Assets within Learn While Living library have evolved and can be enjoyed for learning or entertainment - be it special occasions or themed events catering to a holistical approach for entwining Learning, Life Skills and Entertainment within one space for one generous annual offer.
Finally, the tagline, "Signature Style books that go far beyond the pages" on our Assets is not a gimic, but written because that was my intention. To create something that truly goes further and took shape in our life, crafting moments and enjoyable memories in real time, that may live on - truly transcending.
The next opening will occur soon, please join the wait list to hold your spot or get invited from an existing member to guarentee Villager Platform Access.

Picture 1: Its a playful scene with bright sparks ready and keen.
See how engaged they are?!
Want to engage your children just like this?
Don't know how to?
Let's talk, the pro's and cons for "what", "why" and "how"
for "Experiential Learning."
First, "what" is Experiential Learning?
Simply put, learn by doing!
It is in the art of utilising each experience so to learn,
and here at Learn While Living, we take it to the next level to Learn While Living.
This post aims to explore the concept of experiential learning in detail, examine its theoretical foundations, discuss its applications in various learning settings,
and provide practical benefits for mentoring learners effectively.
Using this active learning application, and entwining such with our
Philosophy In Action- and library of resources, we aim to provoke a grass roots initiative for inspired life learning that holds no bounds.
NO SCREENSHOTS, 4min read: Ready to Dive Deeper?
Experiential learning is a dynamic and engaging approach for building know-how and knowledge that emphasises on the importance of direct experiences in the learning process. Unlike traditional instructional methods that prioritise rote memorisation and passive learning, experiential learning focuses on "active involvement of learners in hands-on, real-world activities."
Using picture 2 as an example: On face value, the activity is of two people sitting in a cave. Amongst a mighty scenery, the two travellers are bathed in the warm embrace of the sun as they look out to the towering peaks, their jagged silhouettes stand tall into the sky sprinkled by snow. This vivid tableau could easily be reminiscent of locations in either the southern or northern hemisphere, where breathtaking vistas converge to create awe inspiring landscapes.
"How" does that make sense for academia though?
Experiential learning can be defined as the process of learning through experience. It combines itself from, in the moment activities that are coupled with theory and practice, inviting learners to gain knowledge, skills, and willingful attitudes by actively engaging in meaningful experiences.
Experiential learning has wide-ranging applications across various learning settings, be-it home learning in any style, Roadschoool, Worldschooling to mainstream classrooms. Then later in life for community programs, corporate training and beyond.
Here are some key areas where experiential learning is utilised:
1. Education and Academia
In educational settings, experiential learning can take the form of hands-on projects, internships, simulations, service learning, and field trips.
For example:
Project-Based Learning (PBL): Individuals build on real-world projects that integrate multiple disciplines, allowing them to apply theoretical knowledge into practical contexts.
Internships and Co-op Programs: These opportunities provide learners with direct exposure to professional environments, enhancing their skills and employability.
2. Roadschool, Worldschooling
Roadschool and Worldschooling: Families, couples and individuals use the world as either their classroom to learn, connect and grow, going on adventures full time, part-time and a casual basis.
3. Sabbatical
Travel Sabbatical: To take a rest from work for an extended period of time, and intentionally spend that time on something that's not your routine line of work to explore the world and grow.
4. Corporate Training and Development
Many organisations adopt experiential learning techniques to enhance employee training and development, and have done so for decades.
This could include:
Role-Playing and Simulations: Employees engage in simulated scenarios that mirror real workplace challenges, enabling individuals to practice problem-solving, decision-making skills and potential workplace skillsets.
Team-Building Activities: Experiential learning fosters teamwork, communication, and collaboration among groups and employees through engaging activities.
5. Community and Service Learning
Experiential learning can be integrated into programs to service the community, empowering learners to connect with their communities and apply their skills to address, community topics and social issues.
Service Learning: Individuals engage in meaningful community projects, reflecting on their experiences while contributing to their community and societal well-being.
6. Outdoor and Adventure Learning
Outdoor education programs provide opportunities for experiential learning through adventure activities, where participants develop teamwork, leadership and resilience from the adventure taken.
Adventure Based Learning: Programs that emphasise adventure challenges, may foster personal growth, self-awareness, and interpersonal skills.
This "type" of learning is not new, has a cyclical approach and can begin from childhood, evolves through youth to adulthood and beyond. It can be easily incoporated into a life learning approach or mainstream learning applications. Additionally, corporate and small business training and frameworks can enhance it to maximise potential and know-how, which ultimately develops more well-rounded individuals equipped for success.
The Benefits of Experiential Learning is my "why" ... will it be yours too?!
Experiential learning offers numerous benefits, making it a valuable approach to life learning, and training for development in all cycles of life:
Enhanced Retention: Engaging in active learning experiences increases the likelihood of understanding, reflecting and retaining information.
Practical Skill Development: Learners acquire hands-on skills that are directly applicable to real-world and real-life applications and situations, for life skills.
Increased Motivation: Active involvement in learning fosters intrinsic motivation, encouraging learners to be more engaged and invested in their learning and abilities.
Development of Critical Thinking: Reflection and analysis of experiences provide opportunities for clarity, critical thinking and problem-solving in real-life. Not simulation!
Preparation for their Working Life: Experiential learning equips individuals with skills and knowledge, for seeking a career with more thought for what they may aspire to do.
Improved Collaboration and Communication: Group activities and teamwork foster collaboration and enhance interpersonal skills, like communication, teamwork, critical thinking and forecasting.
Holistic Development: Experiential learning addresses multiple dimensions of learning, including cognitive, emotional, and social for overall learning development.
Learning is for LIFE: From the day we enter to the day we exit, a life long learning journey may only ever, be enrinched.
The cons...Challenges of Experiential Learning
While experiential learning offers substantial benefits, it also presents some challenges:
Assessment Difficulties: Measuring learning outcomes from experiential activities can be subjective and challenging to give a score to.
Resource Intensive: Implementing experiential learning initiatives may require significant time, effort, and resources.
Variability of Experiences: Different learners may derive different lessons from the same experience, making it challenging to standardise learning outcomes.
However, incorporating it can be inspirational..."How" it can be done, with joy !
Experiential Learning works best within a bespoke setting, designed from a curious, or "think outside of the box" mindset to succeed and mentor others. A go-getter attitude will create the will, and by bringing in a mix of spontaneity and organisation - with lots of activities and resources to accompany your journey, this is a way to truly align Experiential Learn so to Learning While Living.

Tip: Words evolve, the meaning behind them change to suit a narrative as time moves on. Today the modern term is, Worldschool and Roadschool. However, whatever "it" is called now or in the future, the importances are that experiences shape us. Reflection from those experiences carry weight in our "why", "how" and "what" for. Today we get to make the choice how today unfolds.

If you read all this post, and saw past the screen to “what may” you have a curious mindset.
Personally, Experiential Learning going Global - is impactful, inspiring, holistic and life long.
