‘Experiment with Light’ is the title of a weekend workshop that will take place in Ennismore Retreat Centre and Cork Quaker Meeting House from Friday 11th to Sunday 13th November 2016.

‘Experiment with Light’ is a method for actively engaging with the silent worship practised in Quaker Meetings, inspired by early Friends’ experiences, as illustrated by their writings.

It was originally devised by the British Quaker Rex Ambler and has since been continued and developed in various Quaker study centres and Quaker Meetings.

The workshop provides an introduction to this practice, as interpreted by our two facilitators, John Spencer and Medhina .

The weekend will start with an evening meal on Friday at 18.00 and will end after lunch on Sunday at about 14.00.

Cost: €110 (£95) per person for meals and accommodation, or €50 (£40) for meals only. Further information about payment will be sent upon booking.

Booking forms can be downloaded here – Experiment with Light booking form – or may be obtained from Denise Gabuzda (085-7285287, d.gabuzda@ucc.ie). Completed booking forms should be sent to Denise by email or post (4 Shrewsbury Villas, Bellevue Park, St. Luke’s, Cork) by Monday 24th October 2016.
