Spiritual Exploration Group (SEG)

  • 535 Durham Road Newtown, PA, 18940 United States (map)

Gwen Kerber’s Spiritual Exploration Group discussion of the book on the 16th will range from feelings that you have about what is happening in the natural world; loss of species, loss of natural spaces, can’t see the stars at night , – to anything in the book that really hit home for you in some way – something that made a light bulb go on, something that you were surprised by, upset by, empowered by. If you want to talk about your own feelings - your own lived experience is more than enough. no need to have read the book for that part of the discussion.

Here is a handout that provides some highlights of the book and the Homegrown National Park website.


Nature's Best Hope: A New Approach to Conservation that Starts in Your Yard by Douglas W. Tallamy

In June, 2024 WHYY’s Marty Moss Coane interviewed Doug on the subject of Creating Native Landscapes (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/creating-a-native-landscape-in-your-own-yard/id1667989249?i=1000659054568)

It’s a fascinating discussion of the interaction of insects and birds within the larger context of biodiversity.

The Spiritual Exploration Group meets at 8:30 on the third Sunday in the Social Hall before Meeting for Worship.

SEG provides an opportunity for everyone to share their thoughts and feelings on a variety of spiritually related topics.  I has the added benefit that we can hear each other's ideas outside the Silence of Meeting.
