I’m delighted to introduce myself as the brand new Youth, Children and Families Development Worker for Mid Thames and Oxford and Swindon Area Meetings. This role is a fabulous opportunity to bring imagination and play into the experience of being spirit in form, whether we’re young or old, in-between, or all together. I land in the Quaker community with an extensive background as a facilitator and creative, having worked as a documentary producer, performance artist and a director of site-specific theatre with non-actors. I’ve also taught drama to teenagers. My own spiritual ground is at once eclectic and universal, nourished in part through wilderness, Tibetan Buddhism, European shamanism, and First Nations spiritual traditions; I also hugely enjoy working in collaborative cross-cultural and ecumenical fashion.

Please don’t hesitate to contact me at JuliaD@quaker.org.uk to share thoughts and ideas or simply to introduce yourselves, and I look forward to playing, creating, and exploring with you.
