For over 60 years, Friends Conference on Religion and Psychology has gathered on Memorial Day Weekend to provide a respite for individuals of all spiritual and religious backgrounds who wish to delve more deeply into their inner world. FCRP is one of the oldest conferences in the U.S. dedicated to individual spiritual exploration with a focus on in-depth psychology, specifically Jungian psychology.

This year's Plenary Speaker will be Mary Watkins, a clinical psychologist schooled in Jungian and archetypal psychologies, who believes that much of the psychology we have relied on has failed to adequately understand and work with the interconnections between psyche, nature and culture. As a Friend, Mary's experience of Quaker worship and witness have guided her work in communities, and her work goes to the core of how the inner work of the spiritual journey reaches its completion with what we do in our communities and in the world.

By putting Jungian psychology into dialogue with what she calls, "the psychologies of liberation" which came out of work in Central and South America, Africa, and Asia, Mary Watkins has found ways to join "inner work" with the spiritual call to witness of Friends.

Besides her lectures in plenaries, she promises to lead experiential exercises with active imagination, Utopic visioning, and dream theatre that will help us forge interconnections between psyche and culture and nature.

We hope you will join us for what promises to be a most challenging and timely conference. Conference information and on-line registration will be available April 1 at http://fcrp.quaker.org
