In response to the Coronavirus disruption, changes have been made to the planned Easter Family Gathering 2020. We will be inspired by Yearly Meetings around the world who are sharing ways to have community around cancelled events. We will be forging new ways to meet and eat together, to share activities, listen to stories and exchange ideas.
UPDATE: 6 April 2020
We are leaning into a crack created by a virus known as Covid-19. Discombobulating, levelling, we have all been sent home. It is Easter, the equinox, and the turning of the seasonal tide. Conveniently, the Easter tradition is a framework and a ritual for letting go of the old, waiting, and allowing the new to emerge.
Together/alone we will meet from our homes using the platform zoom.us. Gathering as family, catering for all ages, we will forge new ways to meet and eat together, to share activities, listen to stories and exchange ideas. This is an “Emerge-and-See” event!
Daily themes are shown in the top row of the table below. The flow of each day will be morning session, afternoon session and evening epilogue. In the morning and afternoon sessions we will spend time together and time in break-out rooms focusing on engaging the head, heart or hands, respectively.
There is no charge for Friends to attend this event. Please register by answering the questions below. This will help shape the gathering into something that is a good fit for our collective needs at this time.
Once registered you will receive the Zoom meeting details 48 hours prior to the start of the event, followed by further prompts. Share with friends:
