for mothers
The calling of mothers as guide, philosopher and friend to our children is a continual journey of growth and sanctification. We are called to lead our children on the path of goodness so they may know and enjoy God. Mason admiringly says,"Mothers work wonders once they are convinced that wonders are demanded of them."This wonder-making is a full dependence and abiding trust in the Holy Spirit, who is the Supreme Educator and our ever present help. Thankfully we don't have to do it alone!
Philosophy Picnics
Once a month, as an extension of our Riches North community time, we'll explore a topic set forth in CMEC's Mother's Education Course, which includes reading an excerpt from CM's volumes and PNEU articles. We'll also be challenged to apply what we've learned into our own homeschools.
Monthly CM Book Club
Engage in discussions that inspire and deepen our understanding of Mason's principles. We generally meet on the Second Saturday of each month during the school year. We also offer quarterly mother culture nights, year-long reads of Classical literature and an annual weekend retreat.
Annual CM Conference
Hosted by SoCalCM every fall, participants enjoy a day of riches, inspirational and engaging sessions led by local homeschool moms on the path of training up children in truth, goodness and beauty using Charlotte Mason's philosophy, principles and methods. Come be refreshed!
