Pat Schenck has dedicated years of study, self-examination, and experimentation to living racial equality in a society that still supports inequality in its institutions. Writing openly and personally about her successes, failures, and discoveries, she shares her stories and offers wisdom to white Friends, in particular, who wish to create more diverse, welcoming, and fully supportive communities of all races in our meetings and in our lives.

What does it mean to live with Integrity? How might committing to align our hearts, minds, spirit, body, and voice be a radical act? How do we deeply listen from a heart space? Can knowledge of self transform how we see ourselves integrating into our communities?
We cannot wait to ruminate on and be inspired by these questions and the Quaker testimony of Integrity, joining with activists of all sorts aged 18-35 in community and fellowship for six days, from June 3-8, 2016.

Apr 8-10, 2016 (weekend retreat)
From the beginning of Quakerism, the spiritual journey taken by Friends has radically transformed both those who undertake it and the world around them. In this weekend retreat we will explore the basic elements of that journey, as experienced by the first Friends and by Quakers in our time. We will also support one another in our own next steps toward more fully incarnating and expressing divine love and truth. Our time together will include presentations, discussion of brief passages by early Friends, worship, storytelling, sharing elements of our journeys, and listening for God’s call to us in our time.

Susan Chast is Pendle Hill's first Minnie Jane Artist-in-Residence for 2016. We are delighted to have her here with us for the next eight weeks. She shares this:
"I write ceaselessly: a poem, journal entry, or blog post daily pour from my experience of theatre, teaching, faithfulness, and activism. God urges me to write, to use my particular skills in the service of love and justice. Since I left teaching three years ago, I have published two books: re-Mothering is a collection of my poems on spiritual nurture and Taking a Walk with God combines my poetry with Jennifer Elam’s art on themes of mysticism."
More poetry and an unfinished novel about a woman following her leadings bring Susan to Pendle Hill to center in Quaker study and practice. Read more
