An 18-month, four-residency (first is fall of 2020 at Ben Lomond Center in California) providing participants an extended experience of deepening understandings of the importance of Scriptural Literacy, Spiritual Disciplines, Authentic Spiritual Community, and Historical Gratefulness in the Quaker faith tradition. Our language is Christian, though we recognize that human language can never fully express the reality of the Divine and all vocabularies are welcome. Leaders are Deborah Fisch, Deborah Shaw, and Lloyd Lee Wilson.
