Attending Yearly Meeting

Thank you so much for your interest in attending Yearly Meeting, as this is a spiritual decision-making event specifically for Quakers we recommend you start by exploring the following information about ways to connect:

visit a Quaker meeting near you
request a free information pack
look at what Woodbrooke has to offer (Woodbrooke is an international Quaker learning and research organisation based in Britain.)

If you have recently started attending Quakers, then we recommend having a conversation with meeting Elders about whether now is the right time for you to attend Yearly Meeting - we look forward to welcoming you when you are ready to join us.

If you are looking to attend Yearly Meeting for a specific reason please state this in the 'other' text box.

Before you continue: did you read our community agreement?(Required)
