Charlotte Mason West: Fall Retreat at Warm Beach

CM West is a group of homeschooling CMers west of the Rockies who have put on conferences since 2015. You can read more about them here.

Here is the information on this event as posted on their site:

We invite you to join us for a weekend of learning, delight and Mother Culture at the Warm Beach Camp and Conference Center on September 7-9, 2018.

Come. Be immersed.

This will be an opportunity to begin the “school year” by living out the philosophy and lifestyle that we try to create in our homes, inspired by the works and philosophy of Charlotte Mason. We will learn about what Mother Culture is, reflect on how to make it a part of our daily lives and be immersed in opportunities for Mother Culture at the retreat.

There will be ample opportunities to learn about and experience Mother Culture: time for nature walks, handicrafts, nature journaling, birding, canoeing and a Saturday night camp fire (complete with s’mores!). Mass and a prayer service will be available on Sunday morning.

You will leave this retreat invigorated and rejuvenated, ready to dive into another year of homeschooling.
