Details

Discernment Discovery Day is a day-long gathering of Friends from throughout New England. The event is a chance for Friends of all ages to explore what is at the heart of the Quaker practice of discernment through dialogue, workshops, worship sharing, and connection-making. 

New England Yearly Meeting of Friends exists to support and nurture New England Quakers, and we hope we hope our gatherings will equip individual Friends and local meetings with resources, tools, and connections to more fully live our faith. 

Our schedule generally follows this flow:

  • 9:00 a.m Arrival with snacks, coffee, and tea.
  • 10:00 a.m. Morning program
  • 11:45 a.m. Lunch and free time
  • 1:00 p.m. Workshops
  • 3:00 p.m. Closing program and worship
  • 4:00 p.m. Saying our good-byes

Through worship reflecting the diversity of Quaker practice in New England, inspiring speakers and experiential workshops, our gatherings nourish our spirits and strengthen our ability to live our faith. A concurrent youth program explores these same themes in ways accessible to children. The day opens and closes with programming for all generations, allowing us to be together as a multigenerational community. 

The location and registration information will be announced early winter 2025.
