Charlotte Mason Book Discussion, In Vital Harmony

Connect with likeminded mom's as we discuss the book, In Vital Harmony by Karen Glass. We will meet Tuesday, May 23rd & June 6th at 6:30 p.m. in Weaverville, N.C. The goal of the discussion will be to gain a deeper understanding of the philosophy of a Charlotte Mason education for our children and ourselves. She described her approach to education as, “Education is an atmosphere, a discipline, a life.” Members will purchase the book to read and are encouraged to take notes or jot down questions to bring to the discussion. During the meeting, we will take turns sharing our thoughts about the book, what we learned, and how we related to the material.

“It is no arbitrary reward which is attached to the assembling of two or three together; we warm ourselves at each others’ fires, and glow with the heat we get. Let but the heads of two or three families meet together to talk over the bringing up of their children, and the best and wisest parents will go home with new insight, renewed purpose, and warmer zeal. ‘We shall learn by degrees that education is, like religion, a social principle as well as an individual duty; and, meeting on this higher ground, we shall find out the best of one another as we never should in the common intercourse of business or society.'”
Charlotte Mason, editorial note, Parents’ Review, March 1890

Charlotte Mason Nature Study Days

Please join us for Charlotte Mason Nature Study Days!

We meet at nature places and parks each Friday at 10 am. Each week we focus on a specific nature study topic.

We begin with a nature read aloud that is chosen to "reveal the sort of thing to be seen with curious eyes" and fill us with the desire to make new discoveries. Then, we take a nature walk or hike, nature journal, and work on a handicraft together.

Willow Creek Gathers Co-op

Our co-op is a mother-led co-op of families that are involved to teach and support each other's children and parents. We laugh together, as well as cry together because that's what this group has become, community united and linked like a family.

We are a group in the upstate of SC, meeting in Duncan, to provide a living education, education is the science of relations. We view children as a complete person and teach them with rich curriculum and help them grow with gentle formation of knowledge and character. Charlotte Mason summed up her teaching in three words, beautiful, expansive, and efficient.

Outside of co-op days, we want to 'do life' with each other and connect frequently. In addition, the moms meet regularly for the sake of the children to learn more about the Charlotte Mason method as well as strengthen our bonds. Family nights are also offered as it's vital for the whole family to have a supportive community and socialization.
