This too is Quaker service. The settlement bases its daily living on Quaker faith and practice. There is a daily meeting for worship which, according to the practice of Friends, starts with silence which may be broken by ministry. We have a weekly settlement meeting where all decisions about the management of the settlement and our seminar programme are made. We also have a shared meal together weekly.
Some people have employment outside the settlement.
We have regular working bees to maintain both the physical and community fabric of the settlement. There is an expectation every settler will both contribute to the overall health of the settlement according to their talents, and will take their turn in being contact person for groups using the settlement. We have room for more settlers who wish to be part of this style of life. See more information on joining the settlement . The settlement is on the outskirts of Wanganui in the North Island of New Zealand.
