I am so stinking excited to hear one of my favorite homeschoolers this August! Julie Bogart is awesome and has been invited by a local homeschool group to speak at my church! I. CAN. NOT. WAIT. I already love and use Brave Writer and can’t wait to hear her in real life. (And get a selfie.)(obviously.)
Check out my review of the Brave Writer Lifestyle here.
It’s been a great fit for us.
I’m excited to learn more from her and get a last little inspiration and encouragement before we start school this fall.
Julie is a professional writer and when she was homeschooling her own 5 children she found that writing was a subject that was often poorly taught to children. She founded Brave Writer, a language arts program that meets children where they are and uses instinctive and creative ways to draw out the language arts which are already all around us.”
She did all kinds of homeschooling over the years with her children, including Charlotte Mason who she has a soft spot for.”
She’ll be speaking on The Enchanted Education, Putting “Home” into your Homeschool, Updating Charlotte Mason to the 21st Century and The Secrets to Breakthroughs in Writing.
ANNDDD during the talk…..They will be raffling off a complete set of Charlotte Mason’s The Original Homeschooling Series Study Edition, a 128gb iPad and Brave Writer’s The Writer’s Jungle!

Here’s some more information about the event, and they still have spots open! Join me!
The Enchanted Education
The fantasy homeschool that lives in your imagination is a good one. It’s haunted by a invisible spirit called “The Ghost of Public School Past.” Her name is Mrs. Cox, she holds a red pen, she whispers in your left ear: “By this age in school, your child would already be…” Make it stop! That voice leads you to do all kinds of schoolish activities in the name of taking education seriously. It also leads to all kinds of unhappiness, tedium, and feelings of failure. What would happen if you could brush her off your shoulder? What if you could follow the fragile, bright vision you have of how life at home could be? Inspire an enchanted learning journey in your home!
Updating Charlotte Mason to the 21st Century
We all love dear Charlotte, but let’s face it. She didn’t have to contend with video games, Netflix, or cheap Van Gogh prints in McDonald’s restaurants. Moreover, the world has changed in a century. How do we translate all the good in her thinking and educational philosophy into a robust, technologically-current, globalized educational model that she’d applaud today? This seminar calls for an update—Can we be brave enough to expand on Miss Mason’s fabulous, child-oriented, expansive vision of education? The answer is, “Yes, we can.”
Put “Home” into Your Homeschool
Home education is first and foremost about how education flourishes in the house you call home. What are the conditions of home that support learning? How can you design your house to enhance learning opportunities? Family culture, “hygge” (the Danish word for coziness), and nurturing connection between parent and child offer the best environment for learning. The brain research says so! Let’s take a look at how you can transform your house into a home of natural learning opportunities.
The Secret to Breakthroughs in Writing (all ages)
Programs, curriculum, homeschool gurus—they all miss it. Yet it’s so simple! Find out what professional writers know about writing instruction that educators often miss. You’ll walk away from this seminar knowing exactly what to do to change the dynamic around writing in your family…for good. In fact, you can turn your writing program around in one step, once you know what it is and follow through. The good news is: anyone can apply this principle to writing (you don’t have to be an expert writer yourself). By the end of the session, you’ll have an 8-week writing plan to use right away—no purchase necessary! End the hand-wringing and tears for good.
Lunch will be provided with your $40 registration. There will be time for Q & A as well as browsing Brave Writer materials. No childcare is provided, babes in arms are welcome. We will send out more details after registration!
