AfterCast: An Audio Companion for the Classical, Charlotte Mason Mama

For many years now, Afterthoughts has been a sort of intellectual watering hole for all of you classical, Charlotte Mason homeschooling mamas out there – I like to call you Afterthinkers. You are thinking people – idea people – who never let a good book go to waste. You keep yourselves intellectually agile by reading books, often old books, seeking out the best that has been thought and said, and mixing it into your everyday lives of laundry and dishes and dinner and long division. At Afterthoughts, we have spent over a decade nourishing our minds on theology, educational philosophy, and a million other books and subjects thrown in – all the while bringing these ideas into a direct collision course with our daily lives. Because what good is an idea if we don’t use it – live it, breathe it? As an audio companion, this podcast is a chance to hear Afterthoughts blog posts rather than read them. Couple that with some bonus content focused on books and interviews, and you’ve got AfterCast.

Today, we take a look at something called Mother Culture. If you found the idea of a Mothers’ Education Course, which we talked about in Episodes 27 and 28, overwhelming, this is the solution for you. Make sure you listen to the end so you hear all about the freebie tracker I offer that makes Mother Culture even more fun.

Today, I’m interrupting our Charlotte Mason series to bring you this season’s special conversation. Brittney McGann is back with me today; I hope you recognize her from last season. Brittney has been studying Charlotte Mason for over seven years. Mason’s philosophy embodies all the things Brittney loved about her own upbringing and everything she would have wished for in her education, had she known it was possible. Brittney hosted the Grace to Build Retreat in Black Mountain, North Carolina for three years and has presented workshops at multiple Charlotte Mason conferences. These days she is teaching her three children, leading two Charlotte Mason groups and working with her husband to restore native plants to their 3.5 acres.

Today, Brittney and I discuss the "Mother’s Compass". We talk about working within limitations -- for both ourselves and our children. It’s a great discussion you won’t want to miss!

Today’s episode is our second on Charlotte Mason’s Mothers’ Education Course. If you recall, last episode we talked about the HISTORY of the course. This time, we’re looking at the content of the course and also asking a few questions about what it’d look like to build a course for today’s mothers.

Are you ready to take a look at Charlotte Mason’s Mothers’ Education Course? Before we talk content, we need to know our history, and I think you’ll find this lesson particularly interesting.

Today’s episode is super short, but still worth hearing. We briefly speculate on what lectures at Miss mason’s college might have contained, and generally take one last look around at life at Ambleside.
