Home Groups

Connecting with others is a joy of Yearly Meetings. We love getting together, meeting people from other places, sharing our lives and how our communities are going, and talking about matters that deeply concern us. Building bonds in a smallish group that remains consistent during Yearly Meeting can be a lovely way of doing this. We can make new friendships and strengthen old ones.

Home groups are a tried and true way of enhancing our fellowship and sense of community. Home groups have long been integral to Quaker gatherings worldwide, though we have only recently started including them in our Yearly Meetings again. Home groups were enjoyed by many Friends at YM22 and YM23.  We are offering them again as part of YM24.

We hope all who attend will bring a willingness to listen to others and share from their own experience.

In Adelaide, we anticipate forming many home groups. Online, pods of people in one location might like to form a home group together. Online participants in geographically diverse locations will be able to form home groups.

More information will be provided when the YM24 timetable is developed.
