Spirit to Spirit
Charlotte Mason
Workshop
September 14, 2024
Greenville, Texas
“...we do not realize ourselves as spiritual beings invested with bodies, living, emotional, a snare to us and a joy to us, but which are, after all, the mere organs and interpreters of our spiritual intention. Once we see that we are dealing spirit with spirit with the friend at whose side we are sitting, with the people who attend to our needs, we shall be able to realise how incessant is the commerce between the divine Spirit and our human spirit.”
Volume 2, chapter XXV, page 276
Join us for a day of exploring the Charlotte Mason method. We will be offering a variety of sessions to enrich your understanding of Charlotte Mason’s educational philosophy and how to implement it into your homeschool.
