Join us for a gathering of Friends in New England caring for the nurture of spiritual life and ministry in our local faith communities. Together, we will:
- Dream together
- Identify the resources meetings have to offer each other
- Explore themes in State of Society reports and trends from statistical reports
- Discover what’s possible now
Our Yearly Meeting’s primary purpose is to support the thriving of local Friends meetings, to be a vehicle to share resources and experiences among and between us in order to better understand our life in the Spirit and to be able to listen more closely to the Teacher. With that in mind we began holding an annual “Meeting for Listening.”
These gatherings, open to all holding a concern for the spiritual health of Friends meetings in our region, provide an opportunity for deep sharing and drawing together as a spiritual body, collectively holding the challenges and joys before us.
Our next “Meeting for Listening” is scheduled for June 20, 2026. It will be a full-day, hybrid gathering where Friends can gather in different ways: on site at a host location (to be announced), in self-organized local clusters connected via Zoom, or individually via Zoom.
We gather to share with each other–to reflect on where Spirit is alive in our local worshiping communities. These insights and reflections also inform programmatic planning in the year ahead and our Yearly Meeting's annual priorities.
