Charlotte Mason Educational Retreat (CMER)
CMER 2027 runs February 5-7 at The Hideaway in Colorado Springs, gathering Charlotte Mason educators from the Mountain West and beyond for a focused, residential weekend. Sessions, meals, and lodging are all under one roof, giving the retreat its unhurried, immersive character. Keynote speaker Sonya Shafer anchors the plenary program, with breakout sessions rounding out the schedule for deeper dives into CM methods and practice. The format prioritizes reflection alongside education: attendees consistently describe it as a renewal retreat as much as a professional development event. Running since 2016, CMER draws practitioners who want substantive peer conversation rather than a convention hall floor. The all-inclusive residential structure keeps the community tight and the focus on the work of the CM educator herself.
Running since 2016, CMER gathers Charlotte Mason educators from across the Mountain West and beyond for a focused, residential-style retreat in Colorado Springs. The format is deliberately intimate: plenary talks from seasoned CM practitioners anchor the weekend, with breakout sessions covering narration, nature study, living books, and the craft of the CM educator herself. Meals and lodging at a single venue give the retreat its unhurried, community-first character — closer to a professional development immersion than a convention hall floor.
