Have you ever wondered how geography and climate influence our lives? In this course we will explore three similar but distinct cultures from which many saints have come. England, Ireland, and France. These countries are close to each other, but each are separated by the sea. As we learn about some saints that came from these countries, we will explore the geography and cultures of the countries as well and ponder how these factors influenced the saints.
This course will make use of map work, journaling, drawing, and storytelling to facilitate learning.
Required Materials: Books and supplies are not included in the purchase of the course. These resources are listed to help inform your decision-making as you make course selections and build your course schedule. Please reach out to the instructor if you have any questions about materials.

Beginning her undergraduate work as a Music Performance major on classical guitar, Nicole changed majors half-way through and graduated with her BA in Youth Ministry and a Minor in Biblical and Theological Studies at Gordon College. Before and during her MDiv studies (at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary), she served as a Hebrew tutor, Youth Director, and USAF Chaplain Candidate. She found the Orthodox Church during that time, nearly twenty years ago, while serving on a ministry planning team whose task it was to research and imitate the New Testament liturgy.
Today, Nicole and her husband have five children, and they homeschool on their mountain-top homestead in Virginia. Homesteading is an active part of their homeschool, where the children learn gardening and animal husbandry alongside their usual studies. She particularly loves weaving together studies of the natural world with literature, history, art, music and the liturgical calendar and arts, and as such, she published a series of copywork books, with a distinctly Orthodox liberal arts curriculum in the works. Nicole taught at her family's favorite homeschool co-op last year, introducing high school students to Dostoevsky and Chaucer, and bringing elementary students into the worlds of George MacDonald and Shakespeare. She can also be found studying and teaching Greek, directing her homeschool co-op choir, arm wrestling her kids over their boisterous breakfast table, or watching the family's Toulouse geese cut the grass when she just wants to relax.
