Our hearts glow with delight at the blue of a gentian, the glory of a star, the grace of some goodness that we get news of: we lift up our hearts unto the Lord, though without a word; and the throb is one of sympathy, for we know that His delight, also, is in beauty and goodness.-Charlotte Mason

TEACHER TRAINING
The teachers at TBG welcome you to come and join one of our meetings! Please contact me to schedule a visit. A day of observing our community might be just the thing to help you understand how you might start a CM community in your area.Another option to learn more about our community would be to attend one of our Awakening sessions. Also, I provide private consultations for individuals or groups interested in starting their own communities. Contact me for more information.
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue and if there be any praise, think on these things. Philippians 4:8
