Early Quakers had a strong sense of what a God-led life looked and felt like, and they were accountable to their Meetings. Today, Friends enjoy greater freedom to define what makes our lives “quakerly.” We are left, sometimes uncomfortably, with more responsibility to uphold our own sense of faithfulness. This retreat is designed to help us reflect on our gifts and to develop ways to be true to ourselves and faithful to God.
