Living Education Retreat (Sage Parnassus)
The Living Education Retreat returns to Koronis Ministries in Paynesville, Minnesota for its 20th annual gathering, July 9-11, 2026. Organized by Nancy Kelly and a team with over a hundred combined years of Charlotte Mason study, the retreat is structured to embody Mason's philosophy rather than simply teach it. The three days weave together inspiring presentations, deep philosophical discussion, shared meals, outdoor time, worship, and unhurried space for reflection. Lodging and meals are included at the Koronis campus. The retreat draws homeschool educators who want to go beyond method into the underlying philosophy, and the intentionally relational pace distinguishes it from larger conference formats.
Organized by Nancy Kelly and a team with over a hundred combined years of Charlotte Mason study, the Living Education Retreat is designed to embody Mason's principles rather than merely teach them. Held each July at Koronis Ministries in Paynesville, MN, the multi-day gathering weaves together talks, philosophical discussion, worship, shared meals, outdoor time, and space for rest and contemplation. Intentionally relational and unhurried, it draws homeschool educators who want to go deeper into the philosophy in a setting that feels true to it.
