Meet our third plenary speaker for the Nourished Life Retreat- Sarah Dempsen, who also happens to be the Co-Director of Charlotte Mason Northwest. Here’s a little more:
Sarah Dempsen, a second generation homeschooler, developed a passion for education when she stumbled on Charlotte Mason’s philosophy fifteen years ago. The premise that a child is a whole, unique person was an instant draw to her child-loving soul. She has enjoyed learning alongside her three daughters, age 13, 15, and 16 for more than a decade, and is excited to start all over again with her new baby boy. She and her family live in beautiful Yakima, Washington where she can found either at church, in the kitchen, or at the dining table where the Dempsens spend an inordinate amount of time reading and talking about living books over nourishing food. Since favorite books speak volumes about a person, she would like you to know that her favorite books include The Lord of the Rings by Tolkien, The Enchanted April by Von Arnim, and Piranesi by Clarke, all of which she thinks you should read as soon as possible.
