Transformation Stories: Altering Books and Awakening the Newest You with Jesse White
Jun 14 – Aug 2, 2022
An Arts & Spirituality Online Retreat with Jesse White
Tuesdays, 6-8pm Eastern Time (US & Canada) via Zoom.
Step into the next chapter of your life with a newly recreated, interactive book to tell your transformation story! In this program, as we alter a book – from its physical structures to its 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 be creative in community.

Giant Children’s Meeting on 3rd Sundays
Giant Children’s Meeting continues on 3rd Sundays in 2022!
Join Friends and Families from across the Yearly Meeting for a monthly religious education program. It’s “giant” because everyone is invited! It’s “children’s meeting” because we’re making a space to nurture the spiritual lives and Quaker identity of young people.
We hope this online community will support families and the Friends offering children’s programs in their meeting; the 9:00 start is intended to allow folks to attend worship in their own meeting later that morning.
Each 30-45 minute program is for preschool and elementary-age children and their families. Each time will feature a theme and seasoned facilitators leading us through grounding, exploring, wondering, and creating. Our program will connect with the Youth Programs theme for this year, “Building the Quaker Community We Want to Be” and HOPE!

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.

A weekend workshop with Christopher Sammond
(Friday at 4:30pm through Sunday at noon.)
This workshop will focus on practical skills that will enhance our ability to enter into deep, transformative worship. We will explore how we prepare for worship, how we center down, how to listen to each other with our whole being – body, mind, and spirit – and how to better open to each other and the Divine during worship. We will create a deep sense of community from which to access our individual and collective wellsprings of the Source. Our work together will be experiential and immediate and draw us into a deeper experience of our rich practice as Friends.
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).
