Workshop Description

Two 4-hour sessions: Saturday 2/8 & Sunday 2/9 (1-5pm Eastern / 10am-2pm Pacific)

How are my relationships and my use of time, energy, and “things” in right balance to contribute to right order in our world, and to free me to do God’s work? What is essential? How much is enough?

Through personal reflection, discussion, play, and worship sharing, we will
explore queries to discover our power of enough.

This workshop curriculum is grounded in Quaker experience, faith, and practice. It has been developed through a series of simple and direct queries. The Power of Enough workshop allows individuals and groups to discuss their understanding of ‘enough-ness;’ these conversations bring up experiences with connection and climate change:

• Recognition of how every personal choice ripples out and touches everyone else.
• Reframe your perspective and create a personal change in behavior.
• Share your new insights with others (keep the ripples moving).

Participants provide a living example to their communities, as they create changes in personal behavior and choices. Queries from the workshop can be discussed again in other circles, and friends have access to an on-going collective resource document, which describes relevant books, articles, and other inspiration that they can share widely.

Friends of all ages will share their own stories or experiences, and reflect together. We all learn from each other. We will incorporate games, and collective creative expression! I encourage participants to consider queries through personal reflection and journal writing, small group discussion, games, and creative expression; we also enjoy worship together and the option to sing.

In this workshop, there is no pre-requisite knowledge or materials needed to be included or to engage. We aim to begin where we are without judgment. Meeting as a relatively small group can allow space for vulnerability, and promote growth and change.
