Course Details
“Learning how to be an effective parent goes on and on, a learning which for me has been very revealing and given me insights into those parts of me which I did not care to discover” QF&P 22.64.This weekend offers time and space for parents of under 18s to reflect on being a Quaker and a parent, finding ways that our faith and Friends can help. We will use a mix of group discussion and creative activities to celebrate the joys and explore the dilemmas as we support the next generation in walking cheerfully through the 21st century.
