You can find out about my upcoming courses at Woodbrooke here.
If you’d like to me to do a workshop with your group, please contact me through this website or get in touch with Woodbrooke.
Teaching on Quaker topics is how I earn my living, and so I charge a fee for all my teaching and facilitation work. The amount I charge is dependent on the nature of the work and the circumstances of the group I’m working with. As a general rule, for a half-day in-person workshop with a Quaker group I would charge £250 plus travel expenses.
I’m a qualified teacher with a Postgraduate Certificate in Education from the University of Central England, and an MA (Distinction) from the Institute of Education, London. I’ve taught in nursery, primary and secondary schools, in a school for children with social and emotional difficulties and a hospital school, as well as numerous adult and all-age groups. I’ve worked with groups all over the world both online and in person, including Canada Yearly Meeting, Quakers in Ireland, and groups from the European and Middle East Section of Quakers. In Britain I’ve worked with Quaker groups in Local and Area Meetings, at Woodbrooke, Swarthmore Hall and at Yearly Meeting Gatherings. I have also delivered training in professional contexts, including on behalf of the London Symphony Orchestra, the Newham Music Trust and the Church of England in Birmingham’s Mission Apprentice Scheme.
From 2015 to 2022 I was a programmes coordinator at Woodbrooke, the international Quaker learning and research organisation based in Britain, and I continue to deliver learning for Woodbrooke as an Associate Tutor. At Woodbrooke I designed and taught courses covering a wide variety of subjects:
- Introductions to Quakerism, and for those exploring membership of the Society.
- The Bible and Christianity, including Bible study for Quakers, the book of Revelation and other apocalyptic literature, the prophetic tradition, representations of Jesus, and Jesus’ parables.
- Spirituality and community, including introductions to spiritual practice, singing and worship, experimental worship, being a Quaker community, and various retreats.
- Inclusion, diversity and anti-racism, including organising two diversity and inclusion national gatherings and developing learning materials on privilege for Britain Yearly Meeting.
- Quaker theology in the 17th century, and the Quaker Renaissance in Britain (1890-1920), as well as courses based on my own theological research and writing such as ‘Quakers, Hope and the Jesus Quaker Story,’ and ‘Quaker Shaped Christianity.’
