Gathering 2026

Tamsen was raised Quaker, but it had been 50 years since she attended her last Gathering! “Because I grew up Quaker, people look to me for how things get done,” says Tamsen. “I have a feel for some things, but I’d never had any training.”

Register for the 2026 Gathering by June 19, 2026. Hear Kazu Haga and Bryan Stevenson, as you build a spiritual community with Friends!

Finding a daily spiritual spiritual practice that’s right for you can bring freedom, joy, inspiration, and grounding.
