Participants will have an opportunity to reconnect with one another as we explore and nurture our experience of being in relationship with the Divine.  In this space\, we will be invited to contemplate and reflect on how my/our openness to the Spirit is manifested in my/our presence in the world.   \nWe will explore practice and queries that will support participants in their spiritual journey as we individually and collectively build in the importance of hope and love in time of adversity. Participants will create a unique space for spiritual growth by combining key practices from Quaker and other faith traditions\, and they will have the opportunity to engage in contemplative praying of the Scriptures as they experience the deep practice of worship sharing.    URL:https://www.pym.org/event/kairos-a-spiritual-journey-2/ LOCATION:Pendle Hill\, 339 Plush Mill Road\, Wallingford\, 19086\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.pym.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/PXL_20240726_134022348-1280x720-1.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Pendle Hill":MAILTO:info@pendlehill.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260617T173000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260617T193000 DTSTAMP:20260528T161551Z CREATED:20260528T161551Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260528T161551Z UID:111535-1781717400-1781724600@www.pym.org SUMMARY:Wednesday Walks at Willistown DESCRIPTION:Up for an opportunity for some informal forest bathing?  Join us for a 2–3-mile guided nature hike through the wooded and open space of Willistown Township’s protected land and trails. \nThe hike will last about 2 hours (easy/moderate difficulty) and will take place on edges of fields and moderately rocky trails\, so wear long pants and good hiking shoes and bring water\, snacks\, and insect repellent.

Our focus in this Sunday afternoon gathering\, which culminates in a sumptuous shared vegetarian dinner\, will be the section from Jesus‘s teachings called the Beatitudes in the gospel of Matthew and Luke.    \nOur study and group sharing will uncover the Psalms Jesus and his Jewish audience would have easily recognized as the source and influence for his interpretation of what makes us truly fortunate.     \nJoin us to share fresh understandings of these texts\, bringing your own insights and perspectives.    \nCome prepared for new ideas and new friends with whom you may wish to continue these engaging conversations.

In the manner of Early Friends\, we gather for a prolonged period of silent reflection and inward searching\, usually remaining in waiting worship for ~3 hours\, with time at the conclusion for afterthoughts and sharing. \nWhat can you expect? \nWe will gather in silence\, with hearts and minds open and bent towards listening to that of God among and within us. Spoken ministry may arise from the silence\, though it is not uncommon for worship to remain silent for the duration of our time together. Messages should be a deepening of the silence we share. The purpose of silent worship is not to speak\, but to listen more clearly. To this end\, we hold the silence as ministry itself\, which has the capacity for transformation and transcendence. \nWho is extended worship for? \nAll those who wish to deepen their spiritual practice and relationship with Spirit. All those who wish for more inward reflection and connection to the divine within. Those seeking to expand their individual and communal spiritual lives.

A portrayal of celebrated concert singer Elizabeth Taylor Greenfield\, “The Black Swan\,” lends melodic power to the production.  URL:https://www.pym.org/event/this-monstrous-law-robert-and-harriet-purvis-and-the-fugitive-slave-act/ LOCATION:Byberry Friends Meeting\, 3001 Byberry Road\, Philadelphia\, 19154 CATEGORIES:Music,Quaker History,Young Adult Friends ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.pym.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Monstrous-Law-2200-x-1237-px.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Poquessing Trail of History":MAILTO:afarren@preservationalliance.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260606T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260606T170000 DTSTAMP:20260519T150603Z CREATED:20260519T150603Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260519T150603Z UID:111462-1780754400-1780765200@www.pym.org SUMMARY:Rock Painting DESCRIPTION:We supply paints\, brushes\, and have light refreshments.  Please bring your own rock to paint.

Either way\, we ask you to register here: https://barnegatquakers.tiny.us/QuakerEmily. \nCurrently Emily Provance is in Northern Ireland\, where she is looking at the history of the Troubles and how that is parallel (and not) to current conditions in the United States. Emily brought to Barnegat Meeting’s attention a recent FIRE survey that found 34% of college students now say it is sometimes acceptable to respond to objectionable speech with violence. That’s a scary trend regardless of where we stand politically. Her Barnegat presentation will pull from Quaker experience and Quaker theology to talk about how we respond to an increasingly fractured society. \nYou may be familiar with Emily Provance’s extensive work as a traveling Quaker minister. She has led numerous workshops and has given presentations for organizations worldwide. Her recent publications include the Pendle Hill pamphlet\, “Spiritual Gifts\, the Beloved Community\, and Covenant” and the book\, “Before the Resurrection\, Transitions and Endings in Quaker Meetings and Churches”. In 2025 she was Britain Yearly Meeting’s invited speaker at the Swarthmore Lecture organized by Woodbrooke. Her topic was “A Testimony of Community”.

Changes in work\, identity\, relationships\, health\, or an inner sense of calling can leave us uncertain about how to move forward. Set among the redwood forests of the Santa Cruz Mountains\, Geography of Change offers space to slow down\, listen deeply\, and reconnect with what matters most. \nAttending to body\, mind\, and spirit\, the retreat supports personal and professional integrity and the courage to lean into action. Guided by the belief that each person carries an inner teacher and an inner source of truth\, participants are invited to connect who they are with how they live and act. As we savor the spring beauty of the redwoods\, we will engage poetry\, prose\, music\, journaling\, gentle guided movement\, stories from diverse wisdom traditions\, and mindfulness meditation practices\, touching the seeds of transformation already present. \nWhat You Will Explore: \n\nGet grounded and renewed through the natural world.\nNavigate life’s uncertain and ambiguous moments.\nCultivate courage and trust even when you don’t feel it.\nReflect on what matters most with soul-amplifying questions\, creative practices\, small and large group dialogue and more.\nAlign your values with your work for a greater sense of purpose and meaning.\nCultivate body intelligence and body awareness.\nShow yourself real kindness through self-compassion.\nPractice self-stewardship while compassionately respecting your limits.\n\nWhat people are saying about retreats with Valerie: \n\nThis retreat provided so many excellent opportunities for inward journeys\, and identified ways that my energy\, spiritual journey was blocked.’  \n‘This retreat helped me to see more clearly the hindrances to my deepening/developing relationship to my joy and fullness.’   URL:https://www.pym.org/event/geography-of-change/ LOCATION:Ben Lomond Quaker Retreat Center\, Santa Cruz Mountains\, Northern California\, 1000 Hubbard Gulch Rd\, Ben Lomond\, CA\, 95005 CATEGORIES:Retreat,Young Adult Friends ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.pym.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Casa-exterior-2-1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260527T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260527T203000 DTSTAMP:20260513T153813Z CREATED:20260513T153743Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260513T153813Z UID:111435-1779908400-1779913800@www.pym.org SUMMARY:Book Discussion – A Tender Time: Quaker Voices on the End of Life DESCRIPTION:Are you thinking about your own aging or accompanying a family member\, friend or meeting member as they journey through aging to dying?  Are you wondering what Friends have to say about these stages? \nWe will explore one chapter at each session. You can attend all 6 or just the ones that speak to you.  Sessions will be on Zoom to be more accessible.  The first chapter is Completing Your Life: Spirit-led Aging. \n“From the Baltimore Yearly Meeting’s End of Life Working Group\, A Tender Time is a unique collection of Quaker voices\, historical and contemporary\, that explores practical\, emotional\, and spiritual aspects of aging and dying well. It moves in widening circles\, from aging to dying\, and from primary caregiver to friends to the whole faith community. It illustrates how individual Friends make end of life decisions guided by the Spirit and Quaker values.” (Pendle Hill Bookstore description) \nLearn more at: https://www.quakersbucks.org/events/book-discussion-a-tender-time-quaker-voices-on-the-end-of-life URL:https://www.pym.org/event/book-discussion-a-tender-time-quaker-voices-on-the-end-of-life/ CATEGORIES:Aging Services,Families,Ministry and Care ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.pym.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Tender-Time.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Bucks Quarterly Meeting":MAILTO:quakersbucks@gmail.com END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
