An Online Workshop with Peterson Toscano
This interactive online program explores the intersection between art, activism, and spirituality that we experience as individuals and community. We will explore questions of how and when art and activism conflict with each other, and more importantly how they can complement each other, especially in a spiritual context. Participants’ questions and interests determine the content of the workshop as it evolves, providing a safe and nurturing space where anyone can share their own story, art, insights, and understandings.

Women Quaker Artists: Dame Judi Dench, Bonnie Raitt, Sandra Boynton and Signe Wilkinson
Today, Quakers are known to be actively involved in the creative and performing arts community; they are artists, actors, musicians, and lend their meetinghouses for art shows and performances.
It wasn’t always like this–George Fox (whose powerful vocal ministry sparked the Quaker faith in 1652) was against ornamentation in religion and viewed it as a distraction. Theater, dance, and musical performances were seen as leading Friends away from an investment in faith and virtuous reflection.
Over the years, that reality has evolved. Among many respected artists, Quaker artists have made a pronounced impact in their fields with their artistic abilities.
