Working on projects, singing, worshiping, playing and learning - that's what our first through sixth graders do in Junior Gathering.

Infants and Toddlers spend their mornings pretty much as they would if they were at home . . .

“My sense of spiritual wonder and connectedness with creation and my faith have and will continue to lead me in
care for the Earth.” Beverly invites everyone to join her in work on a 1,000 Year Planning Model (just a little longer than seven generations) for an Earth restored. Beverly Ward serves as the co-clerk of Quaker Earthcare Witness’s UN Working Group and as SEYM Secretary for Earthcare. She is a member and past clerk of Tampa Monthly Meeting and a member
of the SEYM Earthcare Committee. Beverly has taught and conducted research at the University of South Florida as well
as conducting research and providing technical assistance to communities, local state and federal agencies, including environmental and social justice groups. Beverly is an experiential workshop facilitator trained in conflict management, mediation, responses to violence, strategies on healing for trauma, and personal growth and is deeply involved with Alternatives to Violence Project.

Songwriter, Folksinger, Storyteller, Multi-Instrumentalist, and Quaker John McCutcheon will be performing at Gathering for our Wednesday night all-ages concert. John has a strong commitment to grassroots political organizations
which has put him on the front lines of issues important to communities and workers. His apprenticeship to
many of the legendary figures of Appalachian music imbedded a love of not only home-made music, but a sense of community and rootedness. People of every generation and background seem to feel at home in a concert hall when John McCutcheon takes the stage, with music that has the profound mark of place, family, and strength.
