The Appleseed technique was devised by Quakers Chris Cook and Brenda Heales. It has been described as ‘A ministry offering weekends, retreats and other events, mostly at Woodbrooke, combining head and heart learning with simple arts-based response activities and worship sharing, rather than discussion.’ Appleseed sessions have been facilitated by Chris, Brenda and others for a number of years, particularly at Woodbrooke Quaker Study Centre.
