How would you live if you could rethink virtually everything? That's the top question on the minds of the socially conscious explorers attending Rethinking Everything, an international conference taking place this September in Dallas, Texas. What began 14 years ago as a local conference for unschooling families has evolved into a meetup of like-minded people sharing fresh and empowered ways of parenting, self-design and sustainability.

Founded and produced by Barb Lundgren, an entrepreneurial unschooling parent with decades of experience questioning everything, this conference literally bubbles over with activity for children and adults alike. "Expect nurturing support for the creation of respectful, exuberant, freedom- and responsibility-filled lifestyles for everyone in your family," she writes. "The five conference days are overflowing with multiple options at all times, from early morning to late night.  Expect to be loved and challenged. Expect shifts in the way you believe the world works. Expect to take full responsibility for yourself and your children/teens. Expect to prepare for the conference with meaty conversations with your family on the meanings of freedom, respect and responsibility for both oneself and others."

The nonprofit Rethinking Everything conference, sponsored by Michael Mendizza and his Touch the Future Foundation, will be held in five days over Labor Day weekend, Sept. 3-7, 2010, at the American Airlines Training and Conference Center in Dallas, Texas. Register by Friday, April 30 for lower early registration rates.
