The Zoom sessions will stand alone so please feel free to book and join one or two, join part way through or follow the whole course!
How do we know what we are called to do, especially when the world is full of urgent problems? This course will offer practical techniques from the Quaker tradition for individuals and communities to find a right way forward.
Where should I focus my energy? Should my Quaker meeting get involved in a particular issue? How do we know what the Spirit is leading us to do versus what we want to do? We will explore how to answer these and related question using practical discernment processes including meeting for worship for business, meetings for clearness, and threshing meetings.
During this course, we will look at the theory behind Quaker discernment, test out some practices, and consider how to share them with others both within and beyond the Quaker community.
Each week’s Zoom session will stand alone so participants are welcome to attend just one or two or join part way through the course; we will share links in the Zoom chat to additional resources.
