Quaker Earthcare Gathering: Nurturing Radical Witness and Worship

Join us for this residential weekend to explore how our Quaker faith and communities can help us to meet the Earth crisis with hope, strength, and compassion. Our time together will be deeply rooted in worship, and will include a children's programme, short talks, workshops, discussions, practical activities, music, dance, art and much more.

Organised by BYM, Living Witness, Quaker Support for Climate Action and others.

The event will be accompanied by a broader community building process, designed to nourish our Quaker faith and communities to meet the Earth crisis with hope, strength, and compassion. You are welcome to take part in the community building process or the residential weekend, or both.

Bookings are open now to fill places by mid-April: reserve your spot for the weekend here

Local and Area Meetings, please do book spaces while you decide who to send!

We are hoping this Gathering will engage Friends with a wide range of lived experiences. Please bear this in mind when considering who in your meeting might like to attend. Friends are welcome at the Quaker Earthcare Gathering whether they have found a role in Earth crisis response , or are still seeking.

We are holding online meetings on:

10.00 – 11.30am Monday 3rd March

4.00 – 5.30pm Saturday 8th March

7.00 – 8.30pm Wednesday 5th March

Email info@livingwitness.org.uk for the Zoom details.

These are open to all Friends, whether they are able to come in October or not, so do encourage others to come along and help identify what people feel our community needs at this time and what gifts people might want to contribute. This will start to shape the gathering programme and be part of discerning what it means for us as Quakers to live through this moment in history.
