Annual Sessions

What are the "Annual Sessions" of New England Yearly Meeting? 

Each year, hundreds of Quakers from across New England and beyond join together for worship, fellowship, and seeking how God will guide us in meeting for business. Having first gathered in 1661, New England Yearly Meeting of Friends continue to gather annually.

2023 Annual Sessions have concluded. 

We look forward to seeing you August 2–7, 2024, at Castleton, Vermont, to celebrate 364 years of journeying together as a community of faith and witness.

Annual Sessions provides many opportunities to connect with Friends old and new: vibrant youth programs, adult small groups for interpersonal connection, encouragement, and spiritual exploration, discernment of how Quakers in New England are led by the Spirit to act and serve, and guest speakers offering explorations of the Bible and sharing ministry responding to our condition and the challenges of our times.
