Young Adult Friends Retreats

The Young Adult Friends Working Group organizes quarterly weekend retreat for young adults (age 18-35ish) in the Philadelphia Yearly Meeting area and beyond.  The retreats are held quarterly - fall, winter, spring, and a YAF community at PYM Annual Sessions in the summer. 

Retreats are usually held at a meetinghouse, and typically begin on Friday night with dinner, and run until the rise of meeting on Sunday morning.  During the retreat, expect worship sharing, workshops, games, and fellowship as our time is centered around a theme.  YAFs are at different places on our journeys, and we come together for rejuvenation, relaxation, and to deepen our connection to one another & the Spirit.  Good food and fun are also assured!
