Integrous Testifying: Body, Mind & Spirit

Niyonu Spann looks forward to sharing what she has come to know about accessing the whole of who we are, testing the integrous flow and sharing (testifying) from our knowingness. These expressions come not only through intellectual discourse but through the emotional, intuitive, and physical body.  These expressions come not only through speaking but through music and movement.

Building on the Pendle Hill Quaker Institute’s theme of grounding our communities in prophetic values, Niyonu will explore the prophetic power of offering to the community what we’ve come to know – expressions of the Light that we have.
