““Lunar has been a fantastic space for our children to grow their confidence and creativity. Our daughter has transformed this year from someone with high anxiety to someone who has blossomed into herself. She now knows who she is, what she likes and how to communicate that in the knowledge that she will be heard and respected for her individuality. Our son has moved himself from someone who acted impulsively and was constantly surprised by his own feelings, to someone who can stop and consider his options before letting people know what he needs.
Essie is the living spirit behind all this. She exemplifies loving respect, courage and warmth to the Lunar community and the children respond to this in kind. Over our involvement with the Lunar community I have stopped being surprised at the transformation in the children who attend, and begun to just trust in its process.
I am a psychologist working with children recovering from trauma, and the process above seems to mirror the therapeutic processes that I see in my practice. I would encourage anyone who had struggled with experiences where they have felt less than attuned with, to meet Essie and the community to see if they could see themselves having a place there.”

“Lunar has been a shining star in what can sometimes be dark and uncharted waters of Unschooling/home Ed.
We decided to remove our daughter from the education system because of levels of trauma and anxiety.
It was hard to know how to move forward as she was still very keen to be part of a community and keen to learn.
Lunar has provided a safe, completely safe and nourishing environment where she can engage with other children in a relaxed community and allow her nervous system to heal whilst also be encouraged to explore her passions and interests .
Thank you Lunar - so much!”

“Lunar is my safe space, my favourite days of the week”

“I love Lunar its the best home ed thing ive been to cause you get to try all these new things I’ve never tried before and it’s so fun“

“My 12 year old loves Lunar and is thriving.
He could simply be himself from day one.
At first he mostly stuck to his favourites, gaming and youtube.
He felt absolutely welcome in this and made friends.
Now he knows he really can freely choose and is joining in with other offerings, lots of really fun group games, cooking, skate park and much more.
The beautiful ALC philosophy means this really is a community for the children and he feels he belongs.
The belonging, acceptance and confidence he is gaining at Lunar is spilling into the other days of the week bringing more zest and curiosity for life generally. ♥️”
