  • Thrivability & Way Opening: Moving Beyond “Sustainability”

    December 17, 7 p.m. ET / 4 p.m. PT

    In a time of converging crises, how do Friends move from doing “less harm” to cultivating conditions for life to truly thrive? Author and Quaker Jean M. Russell will introduce thrivability as a lived practice – pairing spiritual grounding with practical design for culture, economy, and community. We’ll explore “way opening” amid complexity, how generativity differs from sustainability, and simple practices you can bring to meetings, projects, and daily life – followed by a moderated conversation and Q&A.

  • Zen & the Art of Saving the Planet

    January 24, 1 p.m. PT / 4 p.m. ET

    Join us for an evening with Flo Scialom, Project Coordinator for Plum Village’s Zen and the Art of Saving the Planet (ZASP) course. Drawing on Thích Nhất Hạnh’s teachings and years of facilitation, Flo will explore how mindfulness, community, and joy help us face the climate crisis without burning out – and how simple practices like deep listening, compassionate dialogue, and mindful rest can strengthen our Earthcare witness. We’ll reflect together and consider next steps for Spirit-led, effective action in our meetings and lives. Come as you are; leave with grounded hope, practical tools, and a renewed sense of kinship with all beings.

Recurring Events

  • Monthly Worship Sharing

    Typically, Fourth Tuesday of each month, 7 p.m. Eastern time/4 p.m. Pacific time

    In worship sharing, we gather in small groups to focus on a particular query to explore our own experience and share with each other more deeply than we would in normal conversation. It seeks to draw us into sacred space, where we can take down our usual defenses and encounter each other in “that which is eternal.”
