Quaker Tools for the Spiritual Journey eRetreat

Event Description

Join us for the Quaker Tools for the Spiritual Journey eRetreat to explore various practices of Quaker faith, designed to deepen our connection to Spirit and each other in today’s world. Quakers use a range of tools to help guide us in listening to Divine, test the leadings we think we hear from Spirit, and act faithfully in the world. Throughout this three month eRetreat, we will listen and learn together in community, create sacred space for collective growth, and engage directly with tools such as queries, mentoring, clearness committees, and spiritual practices.
