Education
The Light Within and the Rebirth of Conscience
A Quaker Wisdom School with Cynthia Bourgeault, Paulette Meier, and Marcelle Martin
(Sunday dinner through Friday lunch.)
Cynthia Bourgeault, along with Marcelle Martin and Paulette Meier, invite you to join them at this Quaker Wisdom School at Pendle Hill, open to Quakers and Wisdom Seekers of all faiths. We will explore how the Light of God within not only illuminates divine reality but shows the ways that individuals and society are living contrary to God’s Way. The Light in our conscience reveals truth to us, then sends us forth to witness to that truth with integrity and inner force.
All guests visiting Pendle Hill are required to provide proof of full vaccination against COVID-19 or proof of negative results from a PCR test taken within 72 hours of arrival on campus (see our statement and FAQ about this policy).

Café Darkness In-Person Writing Workshop for People of Color
Join K. Melchor Quick Hall, Joanne Daley, and Danie “Ocean” Jackson at Pendle Hill
Writing in fields dominated by white writers, editors, and publishers can be an exhausting experience. Café Darkness brings together people of color to share our works-in-progress, celebrate our diverse voices, confront our common barriers, and build a community of support for the challenges ahead. We are looking to connect across genre to the written text, the spoken word, and the body’s language. Although this trio of facilitators brings a range of skills, Melchor is an educator and the author and editor of academic manuscripts, Danie is a singer-songwriter and life coach, and Joanne is a bodyworker and healer. This workshop aims for a well-rounded exploration of the legacies, dedications, texts, sounds, and bodily manifestations of writing by people of color. We hope that you will join us!

Blessing Darkness with Rev. Rhetta Morgan
A weekend workshop with Rev. Rhetta Morgan
Out of the winter season, participants in this program will explore the darkness together. We will start with a blessing:
We will bless each other.
We will bless what we bring to the adventure.
We will bless our beautiful world,
both the miraculous and catastrophic.
Then we will turn toward how we each define the dark and enter into a journey of reflection, mirroring insights, singing, movement, journaling, and communing in silence to deepen our relationship to the dark. We will then explore themes of the dark as a place of healing and rest, womb that births our vision, our creativity and the home of awe and wonder.
Join us for an adventure into the willowy shadows. Bringing our curiosity and hearts, we will discover, celebrate, and heal together.
