While many meetings take a break in religious education programs during the summer months, there are opportunities during the summertime to connect with families and start to think ahead to next fall. Events and resource suggestions below! Later in June, watch for the Youth Programs staff to share activities for meeting and home in preparation for Annual Sessions, July 26-30. These will be shared for meetings to do over the summer, or send home to families. [Read more…] about Religious Education Resources & Events for Summer 2023
An online lecture series collaboration between Barclay Press and Pendle Hill with authors of Illuminate: Minor Prophets
Join us for a series of evening discussions with authors of authors of Illuminate: Minor Prophets, the most recent curriculum in the Barclay Press Illuminate Friends Bible Study Series. Speakers will share insights from their studies as they prepared the lessons and “Friendly Perspectives” in this series.
The Minor Prophets, also known as the Book of the Twelve, include a dozen voices across four centuries, reminding God’s people to fully embody their covenant with God. As empires rose and fell, as the descendants of Israel experienced traumatic loss and distraction from God, prophets continued to hear God calling them back to just treatment of others and the land. These “minor” prophets are only minor in terms of length. Each prophet offers courageous critique and powerful hope. In our own time, these prophets offer an example of seeing and speaking clearly about painful realities and the terrifying results of our actions. They also show us a way forward in casting a Spirit-led, hope-filled vision for the community to move toward. This combination of critique and hope can help Friends and others listen and live courageously into much-needed prophetic action in our own time.

A retreat in the Pendle Hill Art Studio with Jesse White
Wednesday, 4:30pm through Sunday lunch
Pricing:
Private Room: $895
Shared Room: $795
Commuter: $525
If these prices are financially inaccessible, we welcome your request for financial assistance.
Step into the next chapter of your life to tell your transformation story with a newly recreated, interactive, multimedia book! Spend time in the sanctuary of Pendle Hill’s art studio with safe and brave community as we dive deep into re-creation, introspection, and transformation.
In this program, as we alter a book’s physical structure and narrative, we will contemplatively and creatively consider our life journeys, our next steps, and our spiritual leadings. Transformation Stories offers opportunities to draw, paint, collage, craft pop-ups and other architectural techniques, journal, and explore creativity in community. While techniques will be taught, participants will have the flexibility and autonomy to choose which experiences are right for them, their books, and their stories.
This course is especially relevant for those who wish to process a life change, honor an important memory, or seek vision. Adults, seniors, and teens are welcome to participate – from those who are new to altering books to those with vast experience in the art form.
Instructions on how to choose a book to alter and how to select fabric to decorate the cover will be sent to registered participants before the start of the program. If possible, participants are asked to bring their own books. Fabric options will be provided or participants may bring their own. All other materials will be provided.
An online series with Valerie Brown offering tools and practices to navigate these challenging times.
Two consecutive Saturdays, 10:00am-11:30am Eastern Time (US & Canada) in collaboration with Woodbrooke Study Centre.
We are being pulled apart and broken-open by the global pandemic, violence, racial injustice, climate crisis, etc. This course will equip you with tools and practices to navigate these high-stress, high-anxiety times.
Based on Valerie’s latest book, Hope Leans Forward: Braving Your Way toward Simplicity, Awakening, and Peace (Broadleaf, 2022), this course will cover skill-building, evidence-based mindfulness practice, and soul-amplifying questions grounded in Quaker faith and practice that go to the heart of discerning your life purpose, meaning, and direction and supporting you to live your best self now.
In these highly interactive sessions, we’ll explore the Buddhist Seven Factors of Awakening, including:
