Conversazione is an Italian word. It is defined as a scholarly or formal gathering where something related to literature or the arts is discussed. The PNEU held these talks in order to drum up interest in the organization, often times with Miss Mason as the speaker. Each LER begins with a conversazione where I try to share something on my heart that is related to the theme. Each year the Lord brings the elements together in what is, to me, such a surprising way.

The 2017 LER is now over. At least the actual event is over, but I suspect that we will all be thinking about the many truths shared over the course of the weekend. So here is the audio of my speech. Please enjoy listening to it and do let me know your thoughts! I have posted the picture for the picture study and the poem by Mason from The Saviour of the World. Please have those ready when you listen so that you can participate in the immersions and thereby engage in the fullness of the talk. Also, see the link for Highest Thinking and Simplist Living by Mary Beuving at the end.

Teaching from Peace,

Nancy

Here is a post I wrote about The Single Eye.

Please note that the correct reference for the Fortitude section by Mason that I read in the speech is Ourselves, Book 2, p. 41.

I love, adore, and have always used AmblesideOnline as our homeschool curriculum. Also, I have always collected books. In the high school years, when AO takes a pick-and-choose salad bar approach, I can't help but consider not just the books on the lists, but also the books on my shelves.

Morals? Yes. Moralizing? No. (OR: Did Charlotte Mason Read the Moral of a Fable?) - Afterthoughts

"I hope the reader is not among the naughty children who read the fable and skip the moral." - Charlotte Mason, School Education, p. 167 This issue came up recently in the Scholé Sisters classical writing class during a live Q&A session. The question was about the morals in Aesop.
