Playing in the Light at Ben Lomond Quaker Center
An Invitation to Friends on the west coast of the US!
We’re delighted to announce a “Playing in the Light” training (Godly Play/Faith & Play training for Quakers) hosted by Ben Lomond Quaker Center in California the weekend of August 29 to September 1, 2025. The training will be facilitated by licensed trainer Melinda Wenner Bradley. Watch here for more details and registration, and the Quaker Center website: http://www.quakercenter.org/programs/
This experiential approach to religious education can transform your program for children and nurture intergenerational spiritual community. Learn and practice a method of storytelling grounded in deep respect for children, that explores the existential limits of their lives through wonder, play, and stories from the Bible and Quaker faith and practice. Discussions include:
- nurturing the spirituality of children
- exploring the “unspoken” lessons of spaces and methodology
- supporting children and families in the meeting community
- working with multiage groups and diverse needs
- weaving Godly Play/Faith & Play stories into a children’s program with other religious education resources available to Friends.
