The Radical Quaker Spiritual Journey
Sun, Jan 30, 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM EST on Zoom
with Marcelle Martin
The first Quakers discovered that a radical spiritual transformation resulted from learning to pay attention to the inward guidance of God. Their collective experience of surrendering together to this direct relationship enabled great spiritual power to work through them, which set in motion many liberating changes in society.
In this free 2-hr webinar, Quaker author Marcelle Martin will tell what she learned from studying the experiences of both the first Quakers and contemporary Friends, describing ten elements of the Quaker spiritual journey that were important both then and now. The transformative process she describes enables people to face the challenges of our time with radical faithfulness and God-given strength. Jennifer Hogue and Benjamin Warnke will co-facilitate. Participants will have a brief opportunity for sharing with others what you are seeking in your spiritual life.

The Divine Invitation webinar, September 7, 2021
In this free experiential webinar we’ll share different ways we name and experience the Divine. We’ll reflect on how God is always present within and around us, offering love, guidance, strength and wisdom. We’ll practice ways to accept that invitation more fully and share our experiences with others in breakout groups.
Exploring Meditation, Prayer and Presence online course
Sept. 7 to Nov 16, 2021
Participants in this course will experiment with a variety of different kinds of meditation and prayer and share their experiences with one another. We will talk about what prayer is, and also about how it can help us find greater peace, hear the spiritual guidance available within, and be channels of grace for others and the world. With one another, in pairs and small groups, we will also explore practices for being present to one another, Spirit, God, and the divine truth that wants to be revealed. Text: A Listening Spirituality, part 1, Patricia Loring, and others. Taught by Marcelle Martin. Sliding scale fee.
