Gathered in learning: Summer Schools 2025/26
This summer, friends from across the country gathered for a series of vibrant and purposeful summer schools. Hosted by the Local Spiritual Assemblies of Whangārei, Auckland, Hamilton, Wellington, and Christchurch, these gatherings brought together families, youth, and friends from all walks of life in spaces marked by learning, fellowship, and a strong desire of strengthening community and family life. Across the country, the summer schools were characterised by thoughtful consultation, meaningful workshops, joyful social spaces, and a strong sense of unity, moments that are beautifully captured in the photos shared below.
