Next Gen Quaker Coast Retreat, Friday-Sunday October 11-13, is intended to build community among “younger” (under 50?) and perhaps newer Quakers, attenders and seekers in our Meeting. Rejuvenation, silent worship and community building in the coastal forests and beaches. Comfortable lodging provided along the Alsea River in Tidewater (near Waldport), OR. For more info or to RSVP Contact Retreat Coordinators. Please include dietary preference and childcare needs, if any.
Outdoor Worship, Sunday, October 13, 10:45 a.m: The Earthcare Support Group invites everyone who wishes to join us for our monthly outdoor Meeting for Worship at the Eugene Masonic Cemetery (changed from the 3rd Sunday to the 2nd Sunday). We will meet up the hill from the mausoleum building. There is a low cement wall structure to sit on, or bring your own chair. At noon, we will unify with Friends at the Meeting House for hospitality and conversation. Contact Earthcare Ministry Coordinator.
Plastics Round Up: Eugene Friends Meeting will partner with our neighbor, the First Congregational Church, (lower parking lot at 24th and Harris St.) for a plastic collection and recycling event on Saturday, October 19, 10 a.m. – 12 p.m. We will collect all plastics labeled 2, 4, and 5 as well as block styrofoam and metal lids. Instructions: Labels do not have to be removed from the plastic but they should be squeaky clean. Also, please sort your plastics into the different number categories, circle the triangular recycling symbol with a sharpie, and then write the number next to the symbol. I’m looking for a couple of people willing to help with set up, and / or collections during the event – great chance to get to know our neighbors! Contact Earthcare Ministry Coordinator.
Nonviolent Communication/Ongo Group at Meeting! Starting with Empathy: The Adult Religious Education Program would like to invite you to a preview of one of this year’s new ARE programs – Exploring the establishment of an Nonviolent Communication (NVC) group at Meeting, on Sunday, October 20, at 12:30 p.m., in person, at the Meetinghouse! Join us in unfolding this special shared experience! We will preview the NVC format several times before officially launching our group.
During the preview, we will explore the topic “Empathy” using the text: The Ongo Book: Everyday Nonviolence. (https://ongobook.com/). Every participant will be invited to share something meaningful and receive empathy using NVC format. We will explore the concept of “universal needs” and also delve into different components of “empathy”. Future previews will be held online in November and December; the exact dates will be announced.
More Details: After several previews, we will officially launch our Ongo group, online, on Monday nights from 7 – 8:30 p.m. beginning Monday, January 13. We will hold twelve weekly sessions (group facilitation rotates). The group size will be limited to 15 people total and the group will be closed after Week #2. We will not meet the week of Spring Break. The group will end on April 7th.
A Quotation: “We are in an age of precipitous change — how we each live our one precious life will shape the future of humanity. I am so grateful that The Ongo Book is here to support us as a friend.” (A quote by Lucy Leu, former board president of the Center for Nonviolent Communication and co-founder of the Freedom Project.)
