FORUM: Drawing, A Contemplative Act, Sunday September 17th at 11:30AM

by | Sep 10, 2023 | Past Events

This forum invites all people to connect with nature, using drawing to kinetically engage with our surroundings, fostering meditation and creativity in surprising ways. No prior art experience is necessary.  We will be guided through an interactive experience to engage with natural forms outdoors, weather permitting, through sampling of flowers and plants, utilizing specific drawing prompts. Multi-sensory methods of mark-making will provide a vehicle for experiencing nature in new ways,  deepening our awareness of our surroundings while using all of the senses. We will come back together to reflect on what we have discovered,in the hybrid in-person and Zoom setting. If joining by Zoom, use the main link on the home webpage.

Materials will be provided. Zoom users will be prompted in advance with a list of simple materials easily found at home.

April 2 – Forum – Friends Committee on National Legislation (FCNL) on reproductive rights.

by | Feb 25, 2023 | Past Events

FCNL has asked Meetings for their input about whether, in light of last year’s Supreme Court decision, Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization (overturning Roe v. Wade), reproductive rights should be added to its list of legislative priorities. FCNL has asked that Meetings consider this issue with compassion and respect for all views and offer advice to FCNL. Accordingly, on April 2, we will hold a Forum to determine Radnor’s view on the importance of FCNL’s taking on the issue of reproductive rights. Jerilynn Radcliffe will facilitate this discussion, with the support of the Peace and Social Concerns Committee.

Caregiver Support Group meeting – Feb 14th @12:30 or Feb 15th @ 7:30PM

by | Feb 3, 2023 | Past Events

Dr. Meg Lytton and Winnie Shaw Hope LCSW are aware of interest in a Quarter wide Caregiver Support Group. This can include discussion of feelings, sharing of information and possible speakers. To start, we want to get a sense of the range of interests. To this end, we are planning two hybrid sessions to gain a sense of how to move forward. We will have the following questions as a springboard for discussion:

  1. For whom do you give care? Age? Diagnosis?
  2. What are the joys?
  3. What are the frustrations?
  4. What supports will be most meaningful to you?

We will hold the first session 2 sessions: Tuesday February 14 at 12:30 PM and Wednesday February 15 at 7:30 PM in person at Haverford Meeting Forum Room or by zoom (link below). Please contact Winnie Shaw Hope at [email protected] if interested. We also recognize when you are in the midst of care giving, you cannot always plan ahead nor keep to commitments. If you are at all interested in the formation of this group but cannot attend those times, please reach out to Winnie Shaw Hope at the contacts given above.
