Marcelle Martin

Marcelle Martin has led workshops at retreat centers and Quaker meetings across the United States. She teaches practices for hearing divine guidance, discernment, and being responsive to calls and leadings. For four years she was the resident Quaker Studies teacher at Pendle Hill. The author of Our Life is Love: The Quaker Spiritual Journey, and A Guide to Faithfulness Groups, she has also written four Pendle Hill pamphlets and many articles. Her most recent Pendle Hill pamphlet is Guidance and Revelations in Dreams. Currently she is at work on a memoir. For four years she was the Quaker Studies teacher in residence at Pendle Hill, and she was a core teacher for three offerings of the 9-month Quaker program, Nurturing Faithfulness, held at Woolman Hill retreat center in New England. She feels a great affinity with the radical first Quakers in the 17th century, but believes that we are urgently called to something bold and new in our time. On her blog, A Whole Heart, (awholeheart.com), she shares inspiration to help us live into the fullness of who we were created us to be. She is a member of Swarthmore Friends Meeting, which has recognized and supported her ministry of spiritual nurture among Friends. She lives in Chester, PA with her husband, Terry.
