You will be asked a series of questions to help us register each Friend for Sessions. The questions will repeat for each person and will change based on your selections. After you complete the form for the first Friend, you can add additional people or complete the registration. 

If you register multiple people, everyone who has an email listed will get a confirmation of their own registration details. The billing contact will receive a summary of everyone's registration information as well as any payment details.

Required fields will be marked with an asterisk "*".  If you run into any difficulty please contact the Events Coordinator at [email protected].

About this Friend

More registration questions below.

New England Quakers remain committed to our ongoing experiment with the Pay-As-Led approach to funding our gatherings: removing financial barriers to participation, trusting in each person's integrity and discernment, and inviting each person to pay what they are led and able to offer. Read more about the experiment with Pay-As-Led here.

Grounded in this approach, here's how the process of paying for Sessions will work this year:

We're offering several options in an effort to be transparent about costs and support your discernment. You may choose a pre-set cost for Sessions or establish your own appropriate level.  Concerns about cost should not prevent anyone from attending Sessions. You can choose the amount that you are led to pay from the four below or choose "I am led to pay another amount."

Community Fee: Covers the full direct and indirect cost of your participation at Sessions and supports the attendance of others ($61.00/day).

Complete Cost: Covers the full cost of the gathering including staff time for Sessions this year ($42.00/day).

Traditional Fee: Covers the direct costs of Sessions and a small portion of staff time. ($25/day).

Limited Income Fee:  Covers a portion of direct costs. You are invited to choose this fee or another amount below ($13/day).

If you have any questions or concerns about paying for Sessions, or would like further help with your discernment, please contact Elizabeth Hacala, Events Coordinator, at [email protected].

If you will attend Sessions every day, please enter 5.

In order to help us better plan for Friends' participation, please let us know what technology resources you will have available during Sessions as well as ways we could support your full participation.

Workshops and Reflection Groups will be offered as part of Annual Sessions happening August 2–7, 2024. Our 90-minute workshop and Reflection Group offerings provide an opportunity for Friends to explore their Quaker faith and make meaningful connections.  Reflection Groups are facilitated worship sharing opportunities gathering Friends around a shared theme, topic, or experience (e.g. "Parents of younger children").  Details on the available options will be shared with all friends in a followup email closer to Sessions.
