Weekly Meditation Groups in the Community

Quaker Practice

line drawing of a flying dove holding a twigDuring the school year, Quaker faith meditations take place weekly at MORSL. **Fall 2024 schedule: Wednesdays 4:30-5:30pm** Send a message to the  and keep up with any scheduling and other options such as Zoom.

What to expect: The essence of the Quaker tradition is that there is something divine in every person. Thus, no need for priests, hierarchy, or dogma; there are atheist Quakers, Buddhist Quakers, Christian Quakers, and more. Quakers meet in stillness and silence: the goal of this practice is to discern our highest truth so we can speak and act from it. Sometimes, it feels right to share something from that encounter with the group. If so, we speak it aloud.
