A BEAUTIFUL HOMESCHOOL CONFERENCE We're hosting our 21st Wild + Free conference at the Factory in Franklin, TN on September 11-12, 2026, and we'd love to have you! Join 900 wild and free mamas for two days of insight, inspiration, and community.  This gathering will feature main-stage keynotes, incredible music by a collective of artists, a maker market, access to the Factory's very own farmer's market, and plenty of other surprises we can't wait to share!  We may not all homeschool the same, but we have each other, and we're in this together.  Learn more at bewildandfree.org/conference.

THINGS TO KNOW On Fathers and Children: While we value the vital role of fathers in homeschooling and we love children, this event is for women only (nursing infants are welcome). This is in keeping with our identity as a community for mothers. On Matters of Faith: Some of our presenters are people of faith, others are not. Everyone is welcome, but we realize this event might not be the right fit for those who want an exclusively faith-based event or an exclusively secular event. On Parking and Transportation Please know there is a farmer's market that meets on the grounds of The Factory on Saturday mornings, so parking will be limited. We encourage you to take Lyft or Uber or carpool with others to the venue if possible. On Volunteers: At each Wild + Free conference, we have a small but mighty team of women who volunteer to serve the nearly-900 mamas in attendance. We're looking for women who have a desire to roll up their sleeves and pour into other mamas at the event - first and foremost. We can't promise you a spot, but you can request to join our team by filling out an application. On Cancellations and Refunds: Tickets are transferable but non-refundable. Speakers are subject to change. You can transfer them to any other woman if you're not able to attend. Simply look for buyers at #wildandfreefranklin and transfer your ticket to the purchaser with instructions provided on the ticket - or at this link. On the Maker Market: Each year at Wild + Free Franklin, TN, we host a Maker Market for makers and sellers of handcrafted, handmade goods, rather than corporate products, curriculum, or essential oils.
