A very happy Christmas to you my dear listeners - may you know the closeness of family, clarity of mind for this season, and the joy, love and peace of Jesus in your heart! || I’m so very grateful for each of you and have wonderful plans as we journey together in 2022. - Leah x x

Music: The Poetry Of The Air - With Joel Clarkson Dec 20, 2021

Show notes

“Let young people study as far as possible under one master until they have received some of this teaching and know its style." Charlotte Mason || I could think of no better guest to discuss the power of music with than author, musician and composer, Joel Clarkson. || Joel is a treasure trove of wisdom, and inspiration when it comes to making, playing and listening to good music - today we particularly talk about orchestral and classical music, which as Charlotte Mason educators, I know it’s right up your street! When we wrapped up this conversation I felt like I’d paid good money for a classical music and composition workshop, honestly I learnt so much, and I know you will too! || Hang on until the last few minutes of the interview and you’ll hear a snippet of Joel’s music which he was so generous to let me use on the podcast. Please, check out his book, his albums, his audio readings of the Green Ember series by S D Smith, and anything else he has produced or created. || If you love the podcast I’d be so grateful if you could rate, review and share the love - it really gets the word around, and it would be the perfect Christmas present! Thank you. || Joel Clarkson: https://www.joelclarkson.com || Leah's Links: https://www.leahboden.com

Life Through A Lens - With Nina Constable Dec 06, 2021

Show notes

“We are all meant to be naturalists, each in his own degree, and it is inexcusable to live in a world so full of the marvels of plant and animal life and to care for none of these things.” - Charlotte Mason Today’s guest is Cornwall dwelling self shooting freelance conservation film maker, the absolutely delightful Nina Constable. I hope today's conversation sharpens your curiosity for the natural world, inspires you to look deep and further into the green spaces around you, as well as provoking you to begin those important conversations with your children about conservation. I also hope today's conversation lifts nature study off the sketch paper and watercolour pallet and enables you to view this observational life through a different lense. Let's lean in and listen to episode 2 of season 4 with Nina Constable, Life through a lens.

Today I have another gem for you. Alicia Hutchinson (@overatalicias) and I have been hanging around the homeschool blogosphere and then Instagram for many years.
