Details

Each year on the last day of 10th month (October), people across the country don costumes and assume new identities in celebration of Halloween. Though early Friends did not observe this tradition, many Friends today do. But what about the costumes that we try on, both intentionally and unintentionally, during other times of the year? How do the costumes that we wear affirm and how do they obscure our identities? How do the early Friends customs of plain dress and “clothing ourselves in righteousness” resonate with our spiritual practices and traditions today?

Join Young Friends for a weekend of silliness, deep conversation, and reflection at Portland Friends Meeting. Pricing for the retreat is on pay-as-led sliding scale. $50 is great for families with a limited budget, $150 covers direct costs, $250 covers all costs. You can register for the retreat here.
