An Invitation
Is this your year for Pendle Hill?
Nowhere else will you find quite the experience offered at Pendle Hill: a chance to study, create, worship, reflect, and experiment in the context of a diverse, supportive community. Grounded in Quaker faith and daily practice, Pendle Hill encourages wholeness of life lived in the Spirit.
A term or a year at Pendle Hill is an opportunity to strengthen what is most alive within yourself and in your response to the world. Explore new practices, prepare for leadership, examine an issue in depth, express yourself in new ways. Discover and live into God’s calling for you now.
Since 1930 people from many countries and religious traditions have come together at Pendle Hill. We are eager to welcome you to this extraordinary community and to support you in your journey.
We invite you to join us for the Resident Program. If your schedule doesn’t allow you to participate for a full term, please consider two briefer ways to experience Pendle Hill and the Resident Program:
Three Week Intensives
In response to the popularity of our January 2010 three-week intensive course, we offer two three-week intensives in 2010-2011: A Deeper Faithfulness: Spiritual Practices for the Inward Journey (October 1 – 22, 2010) and Faithful Transitions: Spiritual Discernment in a Time of Change (January 7 – 28, 2011). Experience Pendle Hill in depth while developing and nurturing your spiritual gifts.
Saturday Course
We particularly invite commuters and anyone whose work schedule makes it hard to come to Pendle Hill, to join the resident student community for our Saturday courses. You will practice ways of leaning on Spirit while addressing conflict in your life, your relationships, and our society.
Winter and spring terms in 2010, we offer a course with Martha Kemper and core teacher Marcelle Martin, Bringing Our Lives to Life, which will meet one full Saturday a month from January to May, 2010.
For the winter and spring terms in 2011, we offer a Saturday course with George Lakey, Conflict and Spirit: Applying the Quaker Legacy to Living Lives of Power, which will meet one full Saturday a month from January to May, 2011.
