QVA Working Retreat to Swarthmoor Hall
9 - 14 March 2025, Ulverston
Quaker Voluntary Action organises working retreats in the UK, Europe and beyond. Volunteers participate in practical projects and reflective sessions that promote personal spiritual development with meaningful engagement in the world. Work activities may include gardening, decorating and internal renovation, refugee support, sustainability projects and woodland management. Volunteers also participate in facilitated reflective sessions on a Quaker theme. The QVA theme for 2025 is "Caring for Creation".
Quaker Voluntary Action is a Quaker Recognised Body.
Swarthmoor Hall is the house in which Margaret Fell, George Fox, and other early Quakers came together to lay the foundations of the Religious Society of Friends. It closes to the public in the winter months, and so we will be heading there in early March to help them prepare the house and the surrounding gardens for re-opening.
