Just wondering if there are any Quaker mamas out there?

I have been interested in Buddhism and Paganism before but am recently finding myself being drawn to Quaker spirituality. I sent off for some information which i read and liked but would love to “talk” to someone in person about their experiences.

I think Frances is, I can’t remember her user name though, she hasn’t been around much recently (a lot on her plate I think).  Have you done a quick search on the forum?  smile

Laura, I recently read a book to do with Quakers on the Kindle…
Plain Living: A Quaker Path to Simplicity, by Catherine Whitmire.
Definately worth a read x

Just wanted to add that a few months ago I discovered the music of Jon Watts. Love it!
Friend speaks my mind & let’s get naked are just so catchy.
Worth a listen for anyone spiritually minded I think. smile
