A Suggestion

Schenectady Meeting

The most delightful cross-generation communication I've experienced in a Quaker meeting was at Farmington Friends. The handbell choir was divided between white-haired ladies and teen guys, and they sure sounded great. Past tense because the lads all graduated.

Connection

by Mahayana Landowne
Brooklyn Meeting

What personal fears are keeping you from joy?

What helps you feel heard? Included? Valued?

We all have knowledge and experience, and a lot to share with each other.

Can we connect to our curiosity and find connection?

How do we move beyond fear?

Is there a space where we can embrace supportive listening and a lack of judgement?
