Building capacity and skills in our Quaker communities
The next in person event is on Saturday 14th November 2026 at Selly Oak Meeting House, Birmingham
The Potential of Quaker Listening Spaces
a six week online Woodbrooke course
An in-depth exploration of Quaker Listening Spaces, how to facilitate them and their use within Quaker communities. Online on Monday evenings, four beginning 16 November, and two in January. There will be support after the course to help you host your own for your community. Don't delay booking so that we can run the course:
Handling tension and difficult conversations are challenges we all face in our personal, community and working lives.
Conflict is part of our everyday experiences: we all see the world in different ways. Our individual circumstances, opinions and viewpoints mean we do not always see things the same way, leading to disagreements and potentially damage to our relationships with others.
At a time when we are needing to have important conversations with each other on pressing and complex topics, we seek to help all Friends to embody our Peace Testimony in how we are with each other, inside and outside of Quaker spaces.
The good news is that we can all learn how to deal with our differences in a more loving, respectful way.
