Description
A hybrid weekend workshop for young adults to connect, learn skills for community resistance, and deepen their personal spiritual practices.
Grounding in our personal spiritual journeys and community-level resistance and resilience work, this program will bring together young adults ages 18-35 eager to deepen their personal spiritual landscape in community, connect with others, and learn skills to meet this moment.
2026 marks the 250th anniversary of the United States. Philadelphia is a focal point of the celebrations. What can we learn from the last 250 years? What do we want our world to look like 250 years from now? What is our role in caring for one another? How can we build the skills and spiritual grounding necessary for building community and resisting oppressive systems? How can we deepen our personal spiritual practices?
Like past Continuing Revolution programs, this offering is simultaneously grounded in Quaker values and practices and open to those with no prior knowledge or experience with Quakerism. We welcome all seekers who are interested in exploring the intersection of their personal spiritual journey and community needs, regardless of faith or ideology.
Stay tuned for more details about workshops. We hope to explore themes of creating community safety beyond policing, mutual aid, spiritual embodiment, and the past and future of resistance in Philadelphia.
