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)

We are delighted to announce that Lisa Marchiano, LCSW and Jungian Analyst will be our speaker for WFCRP this year! We know Lisa because she is one of the conveners for the Philadelphia Association of Jungian Analysts (PAJA) Seminar. (This seminar provides advanced study and discussion of Jungian concepts and is the first step in the process for Analyst Training.) Lisa is a mythologist and is a recognized authority on fairy tales. She is a fun and dynamic speaker and will provide an interactive environment in which we can investigate the Negative Father Complex. This may be our personal complex, but it also may be a complex in our culture. So we will examine it from all angles. How timely!
