An online lecture series collaboration between Barclay Press and Pendle Hill with authors of Illuminate: Minor Prophets

  • Faithfulness Groups: $0 for PYM meetings ($200 for other groups)
    If groups are interested in participating in and discussing the Illuminate series as a community, up to 6 people in the same PYM local meeting can register at a single price using the “PYM Faithfulness Group” option at registration on the Pendle Hill website. This opportunity is made possible by the PYM Care Package for Bible Study.

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.

Transformation Stories: Altering Books and Awakening the New You

Written on:

July 12-16, 2023
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.

Deepening at the Root

Written on:

An on-campus workshop with Christopher Sammond, exploring opening to the divine Source in worship, vocal ministry, and leadings for action

Oct 5-9, 2023 (Thursday at 4:30pm – Monday lunch). Cap of 30 registrants

Pricing: $795/private room; $695/shared room; $495/commuter

If these options are financially inaccessible, we welcome your request for financial assistance.

Deep, gathered worship, vocal ministry, discernment, and leadings for action all arise from the same Source. While entering into that Source is partly Grace, there are also practices we can learn which can help us find our way there, more fully and more often.

While modern Friends have tended to divide ourselves into “contemplatives” and “activists,” that artificial division does not serve us well. The one Source feeds both contemplation and action, and if we want to live fully in its Life and Power, we need to open to all the directions it calls us. This workshop is for Friends anywhere on the continuum between contemplative and activist who are seeking deeper Life in the Spirit and clearer direction in their witness.

Through experiential exercises, small group sharing, large group processing, and worship, we will create a community of deep trust and openness, taking off the armor shielding our hearts and opening us into deeper communion with each other and the Divine Source. We will spend time exploring how that deeper communion enhances each of our experiences of worship, listening for vocal ministry, and listening for and discerning individual leadings for action.

Integrous Testifying: Body, Mind & Spirit

Written on:

A First Monday Lecture with Niyonu Spann, exploring accessing and sharing the whole of who we are.

7:30pm – 9pm Eastern Time (US & Canada) via Zoom.

Free to the public! Registration required.

Niyonu Spann looks forward to sharing what she has come to know about accessing the whole of who we are, testing the integrous flow and sharing (testifying) from our knowingness. These expressions come not only through intellectual discourse but through the emotional, intuitive, and physical body.  These expressions come not only through speaking but through music and movement.

Building on the Pendle Hill Quaker Institute’s theme of grounding our communities in prophetic values, Niyonu will explore the prophetic power of offering to the community what we’ve come to know – expressions of the Light that we have.

To learn more about Niyonu’s work, visit http://niyonuspann.com/. Niyonu is the final guest of Season Two of Pendle Hill’s podcast The Seed: Conversations for Radical Hope, which explores the testimony of integrity.

The Truth Is, We’re in Conflict! – Exploring Our Relationship to Conflict Alongside the Quaker Testimony of Integrity

Written on:

An afternoon workshop with Pendle Hill podcast host and Spring Term faculty member Dwight Dunston.
Sunday, April 16, 1pm-5pm. Participants are invited to stay for dinner at 6 pm.
  • Tiered Pricing:
    Standard Price: $100
    Subsidizing Price: $125
    Subsidized Price $75

If the subsidized price is financially inaccessible, we welcome your request for financial assistance.

How might our relationship to, and understanding of, the Quaker testimony of integrity support us in moments of internal and interpersonal conflict?

In this Sunday program, learners will explore their relationship to conflict and the testimony of integrity. Learners will increase their capacity to navigate conflict with more love, grace, and intention, while remaining rooted in truthfulness.

During our time together, participants can expect experiential activities that invite folks to connect with their bodies, and a mixture of solo work, pair-sharing, and group sharing. They will explore personal and ancestral stories and histories through creative storytelling, journaling, and silent reflection.
