During registration you will indicate your desire to join us at Lazy F Camp, or participate online via Zoom.
As always, Quarterly will use a Pay As Led policy permitting people to pay more or less than the suggested amount, based upon their ability or needs.
Donations in excess of the registration cost of the session will go towards supporting Friends who are able to pay less. The remainder will go to the general fund for PNQM.
The costs for providing program and for the use of Lazy F Camp & Retreat Center are both going up. If possible, please consider a small donation to help PNQM continue the "pay as you can" option for all.
We have a few requests from our registrars:
- If you need to change your registration from on-site to online, or vice versa, please let us know at pnqm.registrar@gmail.com so we can adjust housing and work assignments.
- If you need to change your expected arrival time at the last minute, please contact the registrars to set expectations.
- If you will arrive late, please let the registrars know your estimated time of arrival.
- If you need to change your registration in any manner, or make payments, do so by returning to the registration form and use the "Resume" option.
- Register no later than a week prior to the event.
Quarterly will be a mixture of physical presence at Lazy F, and online presence.
The plenary will be view-only by online attenders. Active participants in this plenary must be on site.
Worship Groups, Interest groups and Family Night will run separate physical and online sessions in "parallel"; those present at Lazy F will be in one set of sessions, while those online will be in a separate set of sessions.
The childrens' programs and Junior Friends will only include those present at Lazy F.
We continue to work to remove all accessibility constraints for both physical and online attendance at Quarterly Meeting.
If you have accessibility needs, concerns, or suggestions please address them to the co-registrars: pnqm.registrar@gmail.com. They will share your input with the accessibility committee,
and provide answers or thoughts from the committee.
You can also provide accessibility feedback here.
We will attempt to provide links to any presented reports and minutes on the pnqm.org/virtual online access page.
Lazy F will be following the Washington State Covid Guidelines.
PNQM will follow stricter guidelines:
- Everyone over age 5 must be fully vaccinate (2 weeks past 1 shot of Johnson & Johnson, or 2 shots of either Moderna or Pfizer).
- Everyone over age 17 must also be up to date (have at least one booster shot if eligible).
- Minute 2023-02-02: Masks are considered optional and welcome for those who are comfortable wearing them. Small group
leaders can require masking based on their own risk assessments and will ask if anyone else in the group is
uncomfortable with others not wearing masks. High quality masks are encouraged and will be made available
throughout Quarterly. Testing beforehand is encouraged but not mandatory. Rapid antigen tests will be available
at Quarterly in case anyone becomes symptomatic. If you are feeling ill prior to Quarterly, even if you do not

Eldering at any age* (updated)

This will be especially interesting to young adult Friends with a desire to role-model modern social norms to adult Friends, and include youth outside the Quaker world in a non-sectarian format of spiritual support for social justice champions of all walks of life. Come teach and learn how anyone, any age, might go about eldering oneself, Friends, and even multiple elders at a time in a way that can lead social change by example, be raw, honest, and explicit, yet side-step shame and woulda-coulda-shoulda.
You will be asked to share, in confidence of the group, an example from direct personal experience of how successful (and less successful) eldering has affected your relationships. Meanwhile, the facilitation format itself will allow highly interactive learning to be a natural occurrence comfortable to introverts and extroverts alike, due to our container full of lively, consensual, heartfelt, ADVICE-FREE connection!
Come, experience a special, dogma-free format that cultivates wisdom, fosters equity, simplifies eldering, and helps us refrain from believing anyone needs fixing/changing.
The science-backed format, called Connection Practice, was developed by SeekHealing.org to prevent deaths of despair and de-stigmatize the human tendency to bond to substances when we are separated from one another. It fosters the profound depths of connection and personal growth we truly crave, under the motto: "there is no mental health without social health."
Prophylactic, group co-eldering has connected remote attenders of Olympia Meeting in interactive, spiritual growth-promoting friendships throughout 2023.

BE REFRESHED
Friends are invited to come together for Spring Quarterly Meeting, to be together in community, and to be refreshed by sharing in worship, joining in play, and in experiencing the natural world. Our hope is that our time together away from our daily routines and the demands of the world’s concerns will nourish us to return to our homes refreshed in the Spirit.
