    • Claremont Dialogue–Style Worship Sharing:
      • A Claremont Dialogue is a confidential conversation with a modest structure that is designed to include all voices and to give opportunities for reflection. This form of worship sharing follows the familiar Quaker rhythm of listening deeply and speaking from the heart, while also encouraging gentle, structured dialogue. Friends share in turn, with time for silence between voices, and everyone has the opportunity to speak once—or to pass—before a second round begins. The format creates space for both reflective worship sharing and thoughtful conversation, allowing the group to move at a centered, respectful pace.

  • You can Register by clicking HERE
    • Registration for Summer Sessions will be online only. If you are unable to register online, please ask someone you know to assist you, or call the NYYM office at 212-673-5750 and provide your name, phone number, and a good time to contact you. We will have volunteers ready, willing, and able to provide online registration assistance.
    • New York Yearly Meeting needs to know it will be able to meet its financial obligation to Silver Bay by the end of January 2026. Therefore, payment in full in January, if you are able, is best. Alternatively, a down payment with a payment plan that completes payments by the end of May 2026 would also be acceptable. The pledge payment section of the registration form will ask for a commitment on how much and by when the remainder of the cost will be paid.
