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.

CM Parent Support Group

I am hoping to start a support group for parents using CM methods. I would like this group to study the CM volumes, help each other out with ideas and prayer, enjoy some mother culture, etc. Eventually, I would love to extend/create a group to include a CM co-op for the children that we love so dearly, as well.

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.

We are a new-ish co-op that uses the Ambleside Online curriculum in our homeschools. 2022/2023 will be our second year meeting together. We meet together as a group weekly during the school year for Shakespeare, Nature Journal and Art study to name a few activities. During the summer we get together as friends to let the kids play and parents chat.

Engaged Education Community

A ministry offering community and support for homeschooling families choosing the rich and gentle method of a living education.

“We hold that all education is divine, that every good gift of knowledge and insight comes from above, that Holy Spirit is the supreme educator of mankind.” -Charlotte Mason

Our hope is to gather in the name of Jesus with purpose. The purpose of fellowship as students learn together on Thursdays and share the same living education. As we meet, the children will take part in natural and challenging discovery, group projects and discussion as they have similar booklists throughout their education.

EEC will offer a tailored curriculum for families using Ambleside Online, a free booking and resource for families regardless of their participation in EEC.

EEC will offer regular support throughout the year to all educators and learners interested in Charlotte Mason philosophy and method of education.
