Summer Gathering 26-29 August 2022 at Woodbrooke
Prophet, healer, rebel, mystic, helper,
builder…? Have you found a niche in the ecosystem of responses to the climate
and ecological crisis? How can we support, challenge and care for each other on
our different paths? What does our Quaker faith and practice bring?
Whether you are deeply and widely
engaged, or feel stuck and unsure what to do next, you are welcome at our
summer gathering. We will weave together short talks, response sessions and
workshops, relaxation, worship and other spiritual practices. We hope to
strengthen our sense of community and the connections among our diverse
approaches, to open ourselves to transformation and discern some unity in a way
forward together.

Greenhouse
Gas Emissions - What
is the climate impact of your lifestyle?
How could you reduce your greenhouse gas emissions? Check your greenhouse gas emissions with
our self-assessment guide. Using the Greenhouse Gas Calculator you will be able
to calculate emissions in kg of CO2-equivalent gases. The sheet is divided into
parts looking at transport, energy in your home, materials and waste, food, and
everything else
Some activities emit gases (e.g. methane, nitrous oxide) that have
much higher impact per kg than CO2.
