For over twenty-five years\, Friends in Philadelphia Yearly Meeting have met periodically on Saturdays for a full morning of unprogrammed worship (usually about three hours)\, followed by fellowship over a bag lunch.   In the afternoon we share how we were touched by the Spirit in the morning worship\, and we center again in gathered silence together. \nFor many this is a regular practice that helps us hear how God is leading us\, a mini-retreat in the midst of busy lives.  During the meeting for worship\, Friends are invited to make their bodies comfortable and\, as needed\, to quietly leave and then to return to the room. Although moments of restlessness may occur\, especially at the one hour mark\, most newcomers to Extended Worship are surprised at how quickly time passes\, and by about how refreshed they feel.  All are welcome. \nSince 2020\, gatherings for extended worship have been held online monthly via Zoom\, usually on the first Saturday of the month.  In-person gatherings in the Philadelphia area are now infrequent\, and a special opportunity to be gathered by the Spirit together.  In-person gatherings are now being held about five times a year at Quaker Meetings in New England.\nRemember to bring your lunch.  Attend just a portion of the day or the full day.There is no cost to attend. No advance registration is required\, except if you require child care.  If you would like child care\, please contact us at least two weeks in advance.\nSchedule (times are Eastern Time\, USA): \n9:15 to 9:30 Gathering and Welcome \n9:30 to 12:30 Extended Meeting for Worship \n12:30 to 1:30 Brown Bag Lunch (bring your own) \n1:30 to 3:00 Worship Sharing \n3:00 to 3:15 Clean-up and departure.

Participants will immerse themselves in nature to awaken an awareness of the interdependence of our earthly home\, using that awareness to discover the ecosystem within our own hearts\, longing for restoration.  An extraordinary week for anyone seeking to discover the miraculous all around us and to rejuvenate mind\, body and spirit. \nThe week will focus on simplicity\, living on a solar budget\, ecological restoration\, feeding our souls\, and seeing the divine in the natural world. We will observe and participate in local projects in reforestation\, sustainable agriculture\, and alternative technologies. We will enjoy hikes in the cloud forest\, planting trees\, bonfires\, and worship by the river. Participants will explore how environmental stewardship and social and economic justice work hand in hand through the Work that Reconnects (Joanna Macy). We are privileged to have the Mexican leadership trained by Joanna Macy joining us for half of the sojourn. \nThe daily schedule will include opportunities for Qi Gong\, yoga\, meditation and personal reflection. Workshop sessions will tap into the Eight Pillars of Joy (the Dalai Lama and Desmond Tutu) and Quaker teachings. \nWho? \nThe sojourn is being sponsored by the Eco-Justice Collaborative of Philadelphia Yearly Meeting and led by Quakers Alan Wright and Paula Kline\, (former Westtown School faculty). For more than 15 years\, they led the Quaker Environmental Youth Leadership Workcamp in Mexico. In 2017\, Alan and Paula co-founded the Center for Spiritual Ecology in Huatusco\, Mexico.   They have worked together in Meso-America since 1984 promoting social justice\, sustainable living and eco-system restoration. They have successfully regenerated more than 200 acres of the native cloud forest ecosystem. In addition\, participants will meet with local Mexicans and their families seeking to be examples of sustainable living. \nWhere? \nThe week will be spent at the Center for Spiritual Ecology outside Huatusco\, Veracruz\, Mexico. The Center\, known as Ashram del Bosque\, offers a unique space for learning\, growth and healing. With the cloud forest as our teacher\, we seek to establish a harmonious relationship with the natural world in a practical and lighthearted way\, while taking concrete actions to reverse climate change. The vision that drives us is nourished by Quaker values and the legacy of those who have sought a more humane\, wise and peaceful society. \nOur time will unfold in both the forest and the stunning octagonal worship and learning space nestled into the side of the forest. Lovingly built with all natural materials\, it uses eco-technologies that protect our air and water. \nAs we share intimate meals of organic\, local vegetarian Mexican cuisine\, we will build community and hope for the future. Return home renewed and refreshed. \nHow to register \nPlease complete this form to register for the Sojourn. For more information you can write to Paula Kline at kline.paula@gmail.com \nHow much? \nCost: $1100.00 (excludes airfare to Veracruz airport\, travel to the site from the airport and meals on travel days) Includes meals and snacks on site\, hospitality\, programs by a number of workshop leaders and registration for The Work that Reconnects. Full payment is due April 30th. \nREGISTER HERE: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfrmNc683mgmOnA34BPGLCSgXqdE0il1ongWUO_VkEGfV_tkw/viewform URL:https://www.pym.org/event/restoring-ourselves-and-the-world-a-sustainability-sojourn-in-the-mexican-cloud-forest/ CATEGORIES:Climate Justice,Spirituality ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.pym.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Picture1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260529T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260531T170000 DTSTAMP:20260404T035048 CREATED:20260105T170216Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260205T184902Z UID:102272-1780041600-1780246800@www.pym.org SUMMARY:Geography of Change DESCRIPTION:A Forest Retreat for Navigating Life Transitions\nwith Valerie Brown\nOn Campus | In Person May 29-31\, 2026 \nBen Lomond Quaker Retreat Center\, Santa Cruz Mountains\, Northern California \nLife transitions often arrive without clear direction. 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:20260604T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260604T203000 DTSTAMP:20260404T035048 CREATED:20250902T192141Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260205T182212Z UID:81114-1780599600-1780605000@www.pym.org SUMMARY:Song\, Silence and Sanctuary DESCRIPTION:Song\, Silence and Sanctuary is a once per month musical gathering of friends from across different faith communities\, hosted by Old Haverford Monthly Meeting and Or Zarua.
