Last 16th November at 12 noon, became a moment frozen in time, with a celebration of literature and the power of storytelling at our Quaker Bookshop. Richard Essberger's latest creation stands as a testament to the enduring allure of storytelling, reminding us that even in the darkest of times, love has the power to illuminate our path the “All Shall Be Well." The crowd eagerly awaited an immersive experience into a bygone era, where love and peril coexisted against the backdrop of pre-World War II Europe.
With gratitude and simplicity in our hearts, we are honoured to announce an event that honours the wonders of our precious planet. Friends House is delighted to extend an invitation to the "Out of Excuses: Loving Earth Poetry Book & Exhibition Launch" as part of The Loving Earth Project. This extraordinary initiative is a testament to our commitment to cherishing and safeguarding the beauty of our world, which faces unprecedented environmental challenges.
In the heart of London, across from Euston Station, lies a place that quietly holds wisdom and tranquillity - Quaker Bookshop. Born in 1926 as a humble Quaker Library and later transformed into the Quaker Centre Bookshop, this cherished institution finds its home at Friends House, a Grade II listed heritage site. Join us as we journey through the humble history, cherished values, and offerings of this sacred space.
With hearts full of gratitude and simplicity, we humbly reflect upon the blessed gathering that took place on the 24th of July, commencing at 6 PM, within the tranquil embrace of Quaker Bookshop at Friends House's Library. This evening was a gentle celebration of Jennifer Kavanagh's latest literary offering, graced by an insightful interview led by Jo Jones from The Friend, and a cherished Q&A session. We extend our profound thanks to all who joined us.
With hearts filled with simplicity and gratitude, we pause to reflect on the inspiring exhibition that graced Friends House in August 2023. This gathering aimed to bring together artists from diverse backgrounds, allowing their work to shine without the constraints of labels. The result was a celebration of hidden talents brought into the light — truly, an event that embodied the Quaker spirit.
