Playing in the Light — a Religious Education Workshop at Quaker Hill Conference Center!

February 13-15, 2026, the Quaker Hill Conference Center in Richmond, Indiana is hosting a Godly Play/Faith & Play training workshop, “Playing in the Light.”

More than a workshop on storytelling or focused only on a particular curriculum, “Playing in the Light” is an opportunity to gather in community and consider how we approach spiritual formation and support for families in our meetings and churches. In addition to demonstrations and practice with Godly Play and Faith & Play stories, the weekend includes presentations/discussions on the spirituality of children, creating spaces that nurture spirit-led learning, adapting Godly Play for Friends, and supporting children and their families in community.

This experiential approach has tools that can be used with other resources, and Friends are also finding ways that the stories can anchor intergenerational worship. Those who have previously attended a training will find they go deeper in their practice. And for some, the weekend is a personal spiritual retreat more than preparation for service to a religious education program. It is a weekend full of stories and welcoming all of us into a bigger story of faith in community.
