"Diversity & Inclusion in Quaker Meetings" - Registration Form

You are invited to register for this learning opportunity that is in collaboration between CYM Education & Outreach (E&O) & Woodbrooke Learning Institute.

You are warmly invited to attend this worthwhile workshop series that will be led by well-seasoned UK Woodbrooke Quaker tutors. The facilitators will support participants in having important and challenging conversations, with the goal of transforming our Quaker Meetings into truly welcoming spaces. We will reflect upon and learn from some of the times when Quakers have failed to be fully inclusive. Participants will be encouraged to explore the power that we do and don’t have, and learn about ‘intersectionality’ - i.e., how different forms of oppression interweave, and cannot be untangled from each other. We will discuss how differences can make us feel uncomfortable, and why it is important to address that discomfort rather than avoid it. Finally, we will reflect on what next steps you can take to make your Meeting more inclusive. **

We welcome your courageous participation!

To respect confidentiality & encourage open sharing, these sessions WILL NOT be recorded.
