True silence is the rest of the mind, and is to the spirit what sleep is to the body, nourishment and refreshment.

Program Opportunities

Simplicity, Peace, Integrity, Community and Equality are the values espoused by Quakerism. These are also the values that flow through all of our programs and our facilities. We believe that peace can only be achieved through justice and equality in our communities and these can only be achieved when we all can live with greater peace, simplicity and integrity. Our goal is that all people who join us for any of our programs become more conscious of their presence in the world.

There are two ways for people to participate:

Individuals:
We offer programs that are open to individuals that range from regularly-scheduled potluck dialogues and yoga classes, to workshops, seminars, and week-long service and learning camps. (Click here to learn more; click here to see our upcoming schedule)

Groups:
We work with groups of all ages to tailor single and multi-day service/mission programs for people coming to Washington, DC. Quaker Workcamps have a long history of providing service to promote peace. Our Washington Quaker Workcamps (WQW) are tailored to use the community, environmental, cultural, historical and political resources in this city to give groups experiences that deepen and broaden their understanding of social justice, environmental and other modern-day issues. In addition to WQW, we work with universities to develop programs with greater emphasis on seminar-style learning. Click here for more information.
