Quaker Family Week: July 13 - 19, 2026

Since 2022, several families (parents and children) have been gathering for one week each year at Maison Quaker. It is a time to get together, spend a vacation in a pleasant and peaceful setting, and enjoy activities as a group, as a family, or even on your own! The activities may or may not be directly related to our spirituality. We gather—for those who wish to do so—in the morning for 30 minutes of silent worship. Breakfast is provided by the Quaker Center, as is the evening meal. At lunch, families are responsible for their own meals or cook together. We have scheduled the next Family Week for Monday, July 13 to Sunday, July 19, 2026. There are rooms available as well as a few camping spots.

Memoir Writing Worskhop with Kim Hope: October 11 - 16, 2026

Kim Hope returns to Maison Quaker with a retreat specially focused on memoir writing. For experienced and inexperienced writers alike, bring your story with you to Maison Quaker. The program will feature ample time to work on your writing, allowing you to settle into your words in our lovely valley located between the Cévennes Mountains and the Mediterranean Sea.

Kim is an experienced workshop facilitator. She has had a ‘portfolio career’ in journalism, public relations, education, writing and theatre. She will use her extensive experience to help bring your work alive, and to encourage your voice to appear on the page.
