Dance Information

Emerging during a period of religious upheaval, Quakerism distinguished itself by prioritizing a direct connection with God, rejecting established rituals and hierarchical worship structures.

At the heart of Quaker beliefs lies the principle of the "Inner Light", representing the divine presence within each individual. The unique Quaker worship experience involves silent meetings, where participants gather in communal silence and only speak when prompted by the Inner Light.

Throughout history, Quakers have been notable for their steadfast commitment to peace, equality, and social justice. Actively involved in movements like the abolition of slavery and the promotion of women's rights, Quaker values embody principles of simplicity, integrity, community, and equality.

The Religious Society of Friends has undergone diverse interpretations and developments over time, giving rise to various branches within the Quaker community. Despite this diversity, a shared dedication to simplicity, peace, and social responsibility remains a defining aspect of Quaker identity.
