Workshops

Workshops offer Gathering attenders the opportunity to be immersed in a topic with other interested Quakers. Attenders stay in the same workshop throughout the week, helping form a mini-community within the Gathering.

Each workshop meets from 9:00-11:45 AM each weekday. Most workshops include worship or worship-sharing each day.

Part-time workshops: Workshops 5, 8, 9, 14, 19, 22, 24, 33, 35, 42 and 52 welcome part-time participation. Friends may join after the Monday session, subject to space limitations.

Return March 15 for Long Descriptions: More detailed descriptions of workshops will be included with other workshop information by March 15.
