Workshops

Invite Living Witness to run a workshop for your Meeting

Our standard workshop is the best starting point, connecting the science of climate change, the spiritual basis for our Quaker response and the action we can take. It will be adapted to the existing level of knowledge and engagement in your Meeting.

Themes for more in-depth Workshops include:

• The science & politics of climate change
  

  Review the science and politics of climate change, explore how Quakers can engage and move towards action as individuals and Meetings.

• Triple crunch: climate, economy & resource crises
  

  Crises facing the world economy, resource supply and the global climate have been described as the “triple crunch”. Consider how these three challenges are related and how we as Quakers can respond.

• The Work That Reconnects: experiential connectedness with the earth

Explore our responses to crisis, what gets in the way of action, and where we can find inspiration, in particular through spiritual and emotional connectedness with the Earth.

• How change happens & what gets in the way

  Despite general agreement that climate change is the most urgent challenge of our time, our society seems slow to act. Look at how change happens, what gets in the way, and where we can be most effective.

• Making choices about how we live

  Look at choices we make in our lives, in our communities, at work and in the wider world and how these can encourage sustainable living.

• Working with other groups to develop a sustainability witness

  Many Meetings have developed their sustainability witness in concert with other faith and community groups. Consider what Quakers have to learn from others and what we have to offer.

• Children's spiritual connection with creation

  Find ways to help children connect with their own sense of God, the earth and their community.
