Evening of Encouragement (Parents’ Midwest Education Union)

A discussion group for educators to encourage and support each other in our journey to teach. Our readings are from the writings of Charlotte Mason.

PMEU stands for Parents Midwest Education Union and is a name we use to describe this group. It's a play on Charlotte Mason's PNEU - Parents' National Education Union, a resource arm for her schools.

Please email Karla Taber (taber.karla@gmail.com) or Sally Almodovar (sally.almodovar@gmail.com) for more info.

Our group has veteran Charlotte Mason homeschoolers as well as those new to the method - all are welcome! We meet in different homes each month and we take a break over the summer months.

Living Education Retreat

The Living Education Retreat (LER) is an annual weekend event that focuses on the philosophy of Charlotte Mason. People from all over the world gather to consider a living education through deep discussions, shared meals, outdoor activities, beautiful worship, and inspiring presentations. This is truly a retreat. We want it to refresh and revive your heart, soul, and mind so we practice the Charlotte Mason philosophy in how we form the retreat by scheduling time for pondering, processing, and playing. It will be July 7-9th, 2022 at Lake Koronis, MN. We are in our 16th year!

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!

Living Learning Library

Enjoy our 41,000-volume living-books library, serving South Florida. We're in the West Palm Beach area, and our vast collection is available for lending, plus we have wonderful Story Times, Book Clubs, etc. Our collection includes special Five-in-a-Row support totes, SCM selections, TruthQuest History recommendations, Good and Beautiful books, etc. This is our second library, with the first still operating in northern Michigan, where we've been lending for almost 30 years! If you find our corporate park, we're in Building C, Suite 101, with our entry NOT in the building's lobby, because we are on the ground floor so we have a direct door on the building's exterior.
