  • Action Ready: Essential Roles – Nonviolent Direct Action Skills with EQAT

    Tuesday, June 17th at 6:30 pm Eastern / 3:30 pm Pacific

    With our action goals set, it’s time to build our team. From de-escalation to spiritual anchoring, every role is crucial for success. In this week’s workshop, we’ll hear stories of 15+ years of action with Earth Quaker Action Team and map out the essential roles needed to manage the dynamic needs of on-the-ground action. Through interactive small group exercises, you’ll gain practical experience in coordinating and supporting your team, ensuring a united and powerful impact. If you joined us last time, consider joining a different breakout group focusing on the roles of action lead, street marshal, and spiritual anchor. This is session 2 in our 3-part series with Earth Quaker Action Team

    Join QEW for an urgent, action-driven hour where we’ll break down what’s happening, call our Congresspeople, and help QEW activate Friends/Allies in critical swing districts to target the members of Congress whose votes could make or break the bill.

  • Navigating the Unexpected: Resilience in Action – #3 in Nonviolent Direct Action Skills with EQAT

    Tuesday, July 8th at 6:30 pm Eastern / 3:30 pm Pacific

    Actions rarely go exactly as planned. How do we respond when our actions change or something unexpected happens? In this final training in our series with Quaker Earthcare Witness and Earth Quaker Action Team, we’ll sink our teeth into a variety of scenario examples and explore how to navigate complex situations, including police interactions, counter-protests, and shifting risk assessments. Develop your ability to assess, reflect, and make informed decisions in real-time, building resilience and strengthening your impact.  This is the final session in our series with Earth Quaker Action Team.

  • Fall Gathering

    Thursday, October 16th to Sunday, October 19th 

    Save the date of our hybrid Fall Gathering. Each Fall, QEW gathers to worship together, learn from each other, share in fellowship, and do business together. This year, we are gathering at Powell House, a retreat center in Old Chatham, New York. Powell House works to foster spiritual growth after the manner of Friends and to strengthen the application of Friends’ testimonies in the world.

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.”

  • Weekly Fellowship Hour

    Each Friday, 7 p.m. Eastern/4 p.m. Pacific

    Most Monthly Meetings have a fellowship hour for dialogue and discussions—the QEW Fellowship hour is designed to mimic this informal environment! Come as you are to discuss earthcare, spirituality, Quakerism, and catch up with other dear people in our community.
