True silence … is to the spirit what
sleep is to the body: nourishment and
refreshment.
William Penn, 1699
Is your spirit
in need of nourishment and refreshment? Come to the Baltimore Yearly Meeting
Silent Retreat at Dayspring. We will
keep the silence from Friday evening until after worship on Sunday, enjoying
the beauty of God’s creation, reading, walking, resting, finding our own
rhythms, listening for the Still Small Voice.
