CiRCE Institute

For nearly twenty years we here at the CiRCE Institue have been hosting our conference on the purpose, practice, and essence of Christian classical education. We've offered a platform for some of the most thoughtful, incisive, and experienced voices in the classical Christian renewal, and (with you) we have contemplated the important ideas that inform and energize the movement. If you have come to one of these events in the last several years you've heard from speakers like Ken Myers, Wendell Berry, Anthony Esolen, Laura Berquist, Louise Cowan, Christine Perrin, Christopher Perrin, Sarah Ruden, Martin Cothran, John Hodges, David Hicks, Adam Andrews, Joshua Gibbs, Andrew Pudewa, Peter Kreeft, Ralph Wood, George Grant, Peter Leithart, and many, many others.  Our goal is to continue this contemplation for many more years -- and you can help us do this.  Since the beginning, we've made the audio of the lectures presented at the conference available, either as individual downloads or as parts of complete audio collections. To be sure, the media options have evolved over the years, but our goal of sharing all this wisdom with you hasn't. And that's where this Patreon page comes in.  By clicking that fancy "Become a Patron" link at the top of this page you can acquire access to every recording we have made at past conferences PLUS every recording at future conferences! Over the years we've had people ask us for a more streamlined, subscription-based approach to accessing the conference audio and now thanks to Patreon we can offer that.  Truth is, not only can you get access to hundreds of hours of talks but you can also help support the future of the conference. Your subscription enables us to keep our registration below the going rate, to offer our speakers fair pay, and to invest in our annual Russell Kirk Paideia Prize. It's the best of both worlds, is what we're saying.  Will your partner with us?  --- Remember, each volume of our national conference audio collection retails at $74. A regional conference retails for $47.  Thanks to Patreon you can even add a unique RSS feed to whatever podcast app you like to use if you'd would rather not listen here on the Patreon page.
