A Quaker playlist

February 7, 2021

I found myself reflecting on the way in which music acts as a restorative for me. I listened to the Brandenburg Concertos again and was aware of the stimulation to my own central nervous system. But then I noted that Frank Sinatra singing ‘New York, New York’, or Shirley Bassey singing ‘Don’t cry for me … More A Quaker playlist

Travelling Slow | Langsam Reisen

September 2, 2018

I, and several others besides, travelled slow to our most recent Spring Gathering. By train, bus and boat (and eventually car) I travelled from Brussels to Moyallon, accumulating people along the way. My primary motivation for this was initially to travel more sustainably (i.e. to avoid flying).

I’m immensely enjoying having our own kitchen, having a living room as well as a bedroom, and turning the house into one cosy space that adheres to our wishes. I’ve been noticing more and more how we make our home reflect our Quakerly lifestyle. … More 12 Ways to Spot a Quaker Household | 12 Wege, einen Quäker-Haushalt zu entdecken
