There will be a short program from 11:00–11:30 a.m., followed by a Treasure Map Tour and a garden lunch. Rain means the inside garden! Everyone will receive a “treasure map” to use to visit different displays throughout the meetinghouse and grounds. Highlights include our Underground Railroad “station,” the work we are doing to mitigate the effects of climate change, and our ongoing efforts to promote peace and racial justice.
Friends' testimony
Mystic Friends Meeting
Mystic Friends is a spiritual group formed under the care of Newtown Square Friends Meeting to create a safe community to share and explore mystical experiences in a wide variety of settings. Quakerism, at its heart, is a mystical religion, but many are reluctant to share their mystical experiences out of concern that they may not be welcomed in a warm and supportive manner. Our goal is to encourage the sharing and discussion of mystical experiences in the setting of an old Friends Meeting House.
