Welcoming Soul and Spirit
Spirit needs the contributions of each one of us now. In our many different places, we are called to be instruments of peace, love, justice, and compassion. At our Annual Session let us come together and find how to welcome the Soul and Spirit. Parker Palmer compared the soul to a shy wild animal, which only makes an appearance when it is safe to do so, hiding, watching, and waiting until then. Let us explore ways to invite our souls to make themselves known among us, so that we can become powerful vessels for bringing the ways of Spirit into the world.
Marcelle Martin will be our Friend in Residence, to share wisdom she has garnered during her life and travels among Friends. She will invite us to try out ways we can support each other in making space to hear and express our souls more boldly and authentically, receive divine guidance, and become strengthened to take our parts in the world, as members of a loving community. Welcome Marcelle and her husband, Terry, to their first time in the Pacific Northwest, this magical and mystical place of rivers, trees, mountains, and creatures.
Come to North Pacific Yearly Meeting's AnnualSession July 22nd to the 26th in Olympia Washington on the campus of Evergreen State College. We are planning an Annual Session that we hope will enliven your spirit and remind you of our bonds of kinship, and our duty to ourselves and the world we inhabit.
