Speaking & Workshops
I'd love to be part of your upcoming homeschool conference, workshop, mom's group, or podcast. If raising critical thinkers or Charlotte Mason education would serve your community, let's talk.
I'm Lauren Bodnar, a Charlotte Mason homeschool mom of three who's studied Mason's pedagogy for ten years. I'm a teacher at heart, and I love translating complex ideas into something parents and kids can actually use.
I built Clear Thinking Essentials, a 36-week logical fallacies curriculum currently in use by homeschool families across the country. I've also written a parents' guide for raising kids who can think well, stand firm in their convictions, and stay resistant to the rampant manipulation of today's world. In short, my goal is to help parents raise a generation of critical thinkers.
The more public side of this work is recent, but the foundation is not. For years I've led Charlotte Mason book discussions, and walked new homeschoolers through understanding and applying the philosophy in their own homes. Within my local circles, I've consulted one-on-one with mothers getting started or troubleshooting the daily work of educating at home.
Now I'm formalizing that work, and looking for the right opportunities to share with wider audiences. I'm open to a range of formats. Tell me what you're building, and I'll work with you to encourage and equip your community toward this end.
