Life Together
A weekend of exploring the ideas of Charlotte Mason and intention of God for a rich life rooted in Christ, Community, Family and Education.
Join us for this year's Living Streams Retreat—a time set apart to gather with fellow Charlotte Mason educators in the heart of the forest. Through shared meals, time outdoors, and thoughtful conversation, we will explore what it means to live and learn in true Christian community. Together we will discover how our educational philosophy connects to our deeper longing for communion with Christ and one another, and experience what it means to be truly known in both.
​
As homeschooling parents, we know the fullness of our days. Yet biblical rest is not meant for the margins—it is the rhythm that sustains our calling. Come away to be encouraged by others striving to educate well, live faithfully, and build homes grounded in Christ. We pray this unhurried time will refresh your vision and equip you to embrace a life-giving pattern of work and rest for the swift-passing years ahead.
"There is a self that knows and a self
who is known."
- Charlotte Mason
Biblical rest is not meant for the margins; it is the rhythm that sustains our calling.

“I braved going to the retreat not knowing anyone and new to Charlotte Mason’s education philosophy. I found everyone was incredibly welcoming and encouraging to me. I arrived as a stranger, and left having found community.”
