Spread the Feast: Memphis Charlotte Mason Community
“We spread an abundant and delicate feast in the programmes and each small guest assimilates what he can” (Charlotte Mason, Vol. 6, p. 183).
(PLEASE NOTE: We currently have a waiting list to visit and join our community. Please reach out to learn more about this process and be put on the waiting list.)
Spread the Feast Community is a community for home educators and families in Shelby County and the surrounding areas interested in learning about the Charlotte Mason method and philosophy of education. Our primary goal is to be a place of encouragement for parents on their homeschooling journey, and to grow in community with one another.
We also provide learning opportunities for the children such as clubs, meet-ups, and field trips, so they too can grow in community and friendship with one another. Spread the Feast is open to all that are interested in learning more about the Charlotte Mason method and philosophy of education. We welcome CM veterans, those transitioning to CM, those that are just beginning to learn about CM, those that are simply curious about CM, and everyone in between.
We host an evening book discussion once a month for parents (and "babes in arms” welcome) where we read and discuss the Charlotte Mason volumes or books about her philosophy. We also have mother culture and family events, clubs (scouting, nature), nature outings, "early years" meet-ups, and more!

Charlotte’s Web
Charlotte's Web Co-op provides a safe learning environment for children in grades 4th and up to learn and share ideas with others with teachers who have a passion for their subject area. Following Mason’s philosophy of learning, lectures are not present here but serve as a guide to help facilitate the class in the children’s pursuit of knowledge. Knowing that many do not have the opportunity to meet locally we hope to bridge the gap. We also desire to share the load with moms who are feeling overloaded in having to provide the full feast Mason describes. We want to partner with you and help provide a well-rounded education for your children.
We also offer a Mom's meet-up virtually reading through Mason's volumes.

Charlotte Mason Community in Waco, Texas
We are a loosely knit group of parents who are working to use CM philosophy in our homeschools. But Waco has many opportunities for a CM educator to connect with others who are CM educators!
At the center is a Charlotte Mason Study Group of both new and seasoned homeschooling mothers and co-op and school educators meets one Monday evening a month to discuss Mason’s volumes. All mothers and women educators are welcome to join our warm, humble, inspiring, focused, and encouraging atmosphere, finding camaraderie with others seeking to implement a Charlotte Mason philosophy in homes and schools. Join us, also, to ask about opportunities to connect further with the Charlotte Mason community in the Waco area.
There are other groups that have grown from this core group. And they are all wonderfully organic in their growth.
