Below is a letter from Matt Rosen of Ohio Yearly Meeting about this Young Adult Friends Gathering coming up in August.

Dear Friends,

We’re writing to share news of an upcoming international gathering of Young Adult Friends, to be held at Jordans Friends Meeting House, near Beaconsfield, UK, from 12–16 August 2026. This follows gatherings held in 2024 and 2025, whose epistles can be found here. 

In the midst of a difficult time and a hurting world, we sense that there is life and light in earnestly seeking guidance from a power beyond ourselves. At our gathering last year, we experienced this power as an Inward Voice of Love, and often felt Christ’s presence in and among us. In coming together, we found the sensitivity to listen together to the Divine Voice, and the trust and the strength to follow the Companion who is with us always. We invite you to join us in this experience, as we are gathered by the Spirit.

You can fill out this form to express your interest in joining us, and we will share more information and how to register in the coming months. We hope you will consider whether the Spirit is laying this on your heart.

We need your help to make this gathering possible! We plan to make use of the youth hostel near Jordans but need funding for that, as well as for meals and travel bursaries for Friends coming from further away. Please consider whether you or your meeting can support us. 

We are also providing a flyer for the gathering. Please share this with any young adult Friends who might feel a nudge to join us. 

in the Love that draws us together, 

Matt Rosen, Ohio Yearly Meeting

on behalf of the gathering planning committee
