Curriculum for the 2025 Season
This year, The Spring Term will be organized into three Sessions. Attend for Session I, Sessions I & II, or the full term to enjoy courses on renewal, discernment, and community. Check out the schedule and syllabus for more detail.
In a moment when the world feels exhausted, fractured, and depleted, Pendle Hill’s Spring Term offers a greenhouse – a protected space for Friends and other seekers to bring leadings, ideas, questions, and other seeds of the “already but not yet” – to nurture these visions into being, through the daily rhythm of study, work, and worship in community.
Pillars of the Program
Study
The program will feature a series of courses centering around Pendle Hill’s three core educational themes:
- Faith and Practice, including Quakerism, spiritual discernment, and Biblical studies;
- Prophetic Witness and Social Concerns; and
- Nurturing Creativity through a creative exploration in the art studio.
Students will have time to work on personal projects and support each other in their personal development.
Work
Each student will take part in caring for the needs of the community, within the areas of hospitality (including housekeeping and work in the kitchen), buildings and grounds (gardening and maintenance), and education (upkeep of the library and art studio).
Worship
The heartbeat of Pendle Hill is daily Meeting for Worship. Students will be encouraged to join and support this and other spiritual practices.
