Stories that Robin shares
Robin customizes each speaking engagement, keynote, workshop, training, or facilitated session to what your community needs.
An Angel of Merging
Friends can not sustain all the institutions that have grown up over the last hundred years. The time has come for an antidote to the Separating Spirit. What Friends need now is an Angel of Merging. (We also need God’s mercy, but that is a different talk.)
We Think We’re Separate
No matter how much we would like to pretend that those people, those foreigners, those suffering people, “those people” are not one of us, we know in our hearts, in our minds, in our stories, that we are all one people under God.
Quaker Craft
Becoming the Quakers That The World Needs
Four lessons for Friends about the practical craft of formation in the vocation of being the Quakers the world needs.
Microdoses of Silence
The Aerator For Your Thoughts, Your Actions, And The Noise Of Everyday Life
Practices of silence are found in all cultures. But in our hectic lives, we find it difficult to set aside hours per day for meditation.
About Robin Mohr
From the Americas to the world and back again
Robin Mohr has given keynote presentations, workshops/trainings, and occasional preaching for Friends across four continents.
As Executive Secretary of the Friends World Committee for Consultation, Section of the Americas for 13 years, she developed a deep, working knowledge of Quaker institutions of all kinds — Yearly Meetings, Quarterly Meetings, conference centers, schools, and service organizations. She brings that breadth into every room she enters.
“Robin Mohr’s presentation on the power and value of cooperation and collaboration was both timely and prescient. Robin orchestrated a conversation and small-group discussions about what can be achieved by working collectively — and what is possible when Friends choose harmony over uniformity.”
