‘Experiment with Light’ is a Quaker practice which is based on early Friends’ discoveries.
It was devised in 1996 by Quaker and theologian Rex Ambler following his study of early Friends’ writings. He wanted to discover what it was that made them so sure, so centred, so willing to suffer privations to keep alive their faith. He discovered a process by which the Light may be accessed. Experiment with Light is a Quaker Recognised Body in Britain, see the website here for more details.

Diversity and Inclusion: Beginning the Conversation
with Ivan Hutnik and Tracey Martin
Saturday 13 December 2025 and Saturday 17 January 2026, 10:00-13:00
This free online event is open to all members and attenders within Hampshire and Islands Area Meeting.
This workshop aims to support meetings who are beginning to have important and challenging discussions about diversity and inclusion in our Quaker communities. We will reflect on our own experience and learn about some of the times when Quakers have failed to be a fully inclusive community. We will
explore the power that we do or don’t have, and learn about ‘intersectionality’. We will end by reflecting on what next steps your Quaker community might take to become more inclusive.
To register please email David Curtis: communicationshiaqm@gmail.com
