Great Waters Pagan Friends Gathering

For those interested in coming together in Quaker/Pagan community this Memorial Day Weekend, The Huron Valley Friends Circle is hosting a gathering for Pagan Quakers and Quaker Pagans. The gathering will last from May 25–28 in Ann Arbor, Michigan; most events will take place at the Ann Arbor Friends Meetinghouse.

“Are you a Quaker who experiences the Divine primarily through Nature, the Earth and Her seasons, the Divine Feminine, the Goddess and the God, or other pre-Christian Deities? Are you a Pagan who finds Quaker worship and Quaker testimonies – Peace, Simplicity, Equality, Integrity, and Stewardship/Earthcare – a central part of how you walk through your life?” the organizers write. “Come to Great Waters.”

Though the costs do not include food or lodging (information on both, including camping options, are available at the site) the price is a very reasonable $45 for each attendee over age 5.

“Worship, worship sharing, ritual, meals, games, workshops and interest groups, time outdoors, and a visit with the Friends (Quaker) Meeting whose space we are renting,” are on the agenda for the retreat.

If only Michigan were closer, or I could take a day or two off from school so close to the end of the year! Perhaps it will become an annual affair–wouldn’t that be great? Visit the Great Waters Pagan Friends Gathering blog for details and news.
