Baltimore Yearly Meeting
Baltimore Yearly Meeting welcomes you to our website. We hope that you will find all of the information about Baltimore Yearly Meeting and the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) that you are looking for.
Baltimore Yearly Meeting is the regional organizing unit for the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) in the area of central Pennsylvania, Maryland, parts of West Virginia, Virginia, and the District of Columbia. It is through membership in a Yearly Meeting that individual Quakers become connected with the larger Quaker movement worldwide. "In fellowship, in deep listening, in waiting worship, in commitment to each other, it richly rewards those who embrace the challenge of being a Yearly Meeting Friend." (2011 draft Faith and Practice)

BYM Women's Retreat
Stepping into our power can be a present we give ourselves in the moment. Sometimes we do it because it seems like the right thing to do. At other times it seems like the only choice available to us.
Moving through the butterflies, inertia, self-doubt and indecision, we find the strength and courage to speak up, stand up and stretch to our highest selves. Sharing our stories isn’t bragging, it’s validating ourselves and inspiring to others.
After all “You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure about you. We were born to manifest the glory of God that is within us.” -- Marianne Williamson.
From Friday evening until mid-day on Sunday, there will be Meetings for Worship, singing, worship sharing in small groups, and an entertaining coffee house. There will also be a variety of workshops, items by our Quaker artisans for sale, delicious meals, fellowship, laughter, and fun. Scholarships are available.
