Centring Down with Compassion

This advice and query looks so honestly at how relationships can give great joy but also be full of tensions. How do we let in the joy and allow that to nourish our lives AND explore the difficulties with discernment. Do get in touch if you would like to be a part of these podcasts on Farnham.quakermeeting.org

Centring Down is a term Quakers sometimes use to describe the process of "becoming still and cool in heart and mind". In this Advice and Query we explore what are the blockages to "love and stability" in our own minds; so that we can open more fully to the flow of love for children and their carers. If you would like to join one of these meetings please contact us on Farnham.quakermeeting.org.

If you would like to join these sessions live please email quakersfarnham@gmail.com, you would be very welcome. This evening explores the blockages to understanding each other in close relationships and the meaning of a religious commitment in a quaker marriage.

A Quaker’s approach to meditation; this exploration of Advices and Queries 22 explores cultivating an appreciation of diversity as well as forgiveness of ourselves and others.

Advices And Queries 21 by Carolyn Baynes

Advice and Queries 19, Rejoice in the presence of children and young people in your meeting and recognise the gifts they bring. Remember that the meeting as a whole shares a responsibility for every child in its care. Seek for them as for yourself a full development of God’s gifts and the abundant life Jesus tells us can be ours. How do you share your deepest beliefs with them, while leaving them...

In advices and queries (42 short quaker passages) we are invited to "take heed". What does that feel like? What would it be like to live our lives from a more heedful place. This recording done last summer has some back ground traffic noise... I invite you to take heed of the noise and let it come and go! Warm wishes Friends!
