This role is a fabulous opportunity to bring imagination and play into the experience of being spirit in form, whether we\u2019re 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\u2019ve 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.<\/p>\n<p>Please don\u2019t hesitate to contact me at<a href=\"mailto:JuliaD@quaker.org.uk\"> JuliaD@quaker.org.uk<\/a> to share thoughts and ideas or simply to introduce yourselves, and I look forward to playing, creating, and exploring with you.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\" width=\"312\"><a class=\"fasc-button fasc-size-medium fasc-type-glossy fasc-rounded-medium fasc-ico-before dashicons-arrow-left-alt fasc-style-bold\" style=\"background-color: #0315a3; color: #ffffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/oxfordquaker.com\/newsletter\/october-2022\/oxford-osam-meeting-about-ukraine-friends-world-committee-for-consultation-fwcc\/\">Previous Article<\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: right;\" width=\"312\"><a class=\"fasc-button fasc-size-medium fasc-type-glossy fasc-rounded-medium fasc-ico-before dashicons-arrow-right-alt fasc-style-bold\" style=\"background-color: #0315a3; color: #ffffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/oxfordquaker.com\/newsletter\/october-2022\/remembering-rachel-howell\/\">Next Article<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"fasc-button fasc-size-medium fasc-type-glossy fasc-rounded-medium fasc-ico-before dashicons-arrow-up-alt fasc-style-bold\" style=\"background-color: #0315a3; color: #ffffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/oxfordquaker.com\/newsletter\/october-2022\/\">Back to October 2022 Newsletter Main Page<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>Forty-Three<\/em> Newsletter \u2022 Number 522 \u2022 October 2022<br \/>\n<\/strong>Oxford Friends Meeting<br \/>\n43 St Giles, Oxford OX1 3LW<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"mailto:newsletter@oxfordquakers.org\">newsletter@oxfordquakers.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Copyright 2022, Oxford Quakers<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Julia Dover Youth, Children and Families and Development Worker (Thames Valley) I\u2019m delighted to introduce myself as the brand new Youth, Children and Families Development Worker for Mid Thames and Oxford and Swindon Area Meetings.
