Feast Charlotte Mason Community

Feast Charlotte Mason Community
"Spreading the feast of living ideas together”

FCMC meets around the Montgomery County area and includes the following offerings:

Nature Explorers: Fridays at various parks around MOCO. We learn about God’s world together through nature journaling, object lessons, and exploration.

Mother’s Book Discussion: One Friday each month. Held at a group member’s home, we discuss Charlotte Mason’s works, currently working through Volume 2, Parents and Children.

Seasonal Celebrations: Held in Fall and Spring, we gather at a local church to recite, do a handicraft, play group games, display the children’s favorite creations, and enjoy a meal together.

Field Trips: Taking advantage of the many opportunities nearby, we are planning at least one field trip per term to be held on a separate day from our regular Friday meeting.

Child-Made Museum Event: Held during a regular Friday meeting time in the winter, the children can sign up to create a display and present on their chosen topic. This years theme is “Living History.”

Holiday Handicraft Fair: We will be holding our first ever handicraft fair the beginning of December!

Paideia: Once a month group for students in 4th grade and above. We will be studying Shakespeare, Geography, and life skills together.

Charlotte Mason Mother’s Club

We exist to bring CM mamas in the East Bay Area together. We create place of connection here in the East Bay Area for mamas who want to build an Atmosphere, a Discipline and a Life of learning in her home, who want to grow and learn together, and sometimes just need the support and encouragement of others who understand the joys and trials of this CM life.

The mother's of the Charlotte Mason Mother's Club meet together quarterly for a time of fellowship, discussion, refreshment and learning. We are working to create other groups for mothers to get together (such as book clubs), and times of nature study (for families).

Welcome ~ hope you’ll join us!

For any questions or for more information on how to join a meeting, please request information for the group. You can also find us on Facebook and Instagram.
