Upcoming Events
SCYMF Annual Sessions
SCYMF Annual Sessions — July 10–12, 2026
Reedwood Friends Church • 2901 SE Steele St, Portland, OR 97202
The theme for Sierra-Cascades 2026 Annual Sessions is “A Life Infused with Hope” with keynote speaker Christy Randazzo (they/them). On Saturday, we are encouraging everyone to wear their favorite t-shirt expressing something they feel passionate about—an issue, cause, protest, peace, whatever is important to them. We will meet at Reedwood Friends Church in Portland, Oregon, from Friday, July 10 to Sunday, July 12, 2026.
In addition to insightful messages from our speaker, our time will be filled with workshops, business, reports from our churches, music and worship, plus fun activities like karaoke, a trail walk, and enjoying fellowship over lunches and dinners together. If you are unable to join us in person, most of the sessions will be available on Zoom.
Programs for children and youth are being planned. Kids’ activities will include outdoor water play, a science lesson (skulls and skeletons), a Quaker history story (chocolate will be involved!), and other fun events.
During the weekend, Barclay Press will have book tables and will feature a book signing with Shelley Warner, author of the new book "Recognizing Wolves."
Online registration will be open until Friday, June 26. An email with more complete information will go out on Monday, June 8. If you don’t receive the email, please contact Rachel Hampton at registrar@scymf.org to request it.
Friends from out of town can either rent an Airbnb or a hotel room for the weekend. Portland-area Friends have also volunteered to host those who would prefer a home stay. If you would like to host an out-of-town Friend, please contact Rachel Hampton at registrar@scymf.org. Friends who wish to have a home stay should send in their request as soon as possible via the online registration form. Meals will be catered at Reedwood for the weekend as follows: lunch and dinner on Friday and Saturday, and lunch on Sunday. Friends should expect to provide their own breakfast.

Workshops
Saturday, July 11, 4:00-5:30 PM
Clerking and Being Clerked (also offered on Zoom)
Clerking and being clerked is a Quaker process of reaching inspired unity, which is more than secular consensus. We will explore how this can happen, with some suggestions and techniques.
Jane Snyder has clerked North Pacific Yearly Meeting 5 times and was clerk of Friends World Committee for Consultation Section of the Americas 2011-2015. She is a member of Multnomah Monthly Meeting and attends Bridge City Friends in Portland.
Quaker Action for a Just World: The work of the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) (also offered on zoom)
Come learn about the American Friends Service Committee and the many ways that Friends can get involved in its work to promote a more peaceful, just, and sustainable world. This workshop will spotlight AFSC’s Palestinian activism work, immigration justice programs, climate justice work, and more! Attendees will hear about AFSC’s resources and opportunities to partner with AFSC to be effective Quaker changemakers.
Ainsley Bruton (they/them) is the Quaker Engagement Coordinator at AFSC. In their role, Ainsley works to build and maintain relationships with Friends, Meetings & Churches, and Quaker organizations. Prior to joining AFSC, Ainsley served as an Assistant Director of Admission at Haverford College, their alma mater. Ainsley is also an alum of Westtown School, a Quaker boarding and day school in West Chester, PA.
Bonsai: an introduction to an Ancient Art Form (in-person only)
Participants (limit of 8) will bring a tree, no more than 1 gallon size of a woody plant, a "training pot" with good drainage such as a nursery pot, old scissors or pruning shears and newspaper to work on. Due to the season, we will work on the beginnings of shaping the trees, maintenance and the future work of keeping it small.
Jim Miller, a member of Camas Friends Church took a class for seniors for 5 years through Portland Continuing Education by a local Master who was taught by his Chinese grandmother. He has continued for 18 years and developed 40 Bonsai plants.
Telling Our Stories (in-person only)
Come to a lighthearted gathering to listen to and share our life stories - in two minutes or less! We will share our stories of favorite gifts, trying something hard, embarrassing moments, fabulous failures, wonderful surprises, best meals ever, worst meals ever, and more. Come prepared to share or pass on whatever subjects come up.
Leann Williams is a recorded minister of SCYMF and loves to create opportunities for building community.
Sunday, July 12, 11:00 AM-12:30 PM
Equipping Young Adults with Quaker Tools (also offered on Zoom)
Quaker Voluntary Service (QVS) operates in 4 cities: Boston, Minneapolis, Philadelphia, and Portland, OR. We invite you to learn more about this relatively young Quaker organization, what we've learned about working with young adults, and how you can support our work.
Mike Huber (West Hills Friends) has been the program director of QVS since 2018.
The Practice of Neighboring (also offered on Zoom)
What does it look like to be a good neighbor? We’ll explore who our neighbors are and our own histories of being a neighbor: seeing and being seen by one another, and how we respond out of our shared witness.
Since 1967, Right Sharing of World Resources has embodied Quaker concern for global inequity. Megan Fair is a Quaker from Ohio who has served as RSWR's Director of Advancement for three years.
An Introduction to the Quaker journey with Godly Play and the development of Faith & Play (in-person only)
The workshop will introduce Friends to Faith & Play and the foundation of its storytelling approach. Friends will experience a story, explore the development of Faith & Play, and explore the various ways and venues Faith & Play has been used. A dedicated time will be set aside for questions and discussion.
David Wakeley, clerk and trustee of Faith & Play and Stories and attender at Olympia Friends Meeting, is a trained storyteller and hospital chaplain.
Praying with SoulCollage® (in-person only)
This intuitive collage process opens you to self-discovery, meditation, and wordless prayer. Through a simple guided process, we will create one or more prayer cards to use as windows into our own deeper communion with God. Scissors, glue, mat boards, and a variety of images are provided, though you are welcome to bring your own images and photos to use.
Ruba Byrd is the pastor of Eugene Friends Church and a spiritual director, who for many years has used music and the visual arts as transformative spiritual practices.

Workshop Descriptions
1) Endless Revolution — The Lamb's War and Framing Quaker Relationships to Empire Today
In this workshop, we will explore the political and theological context of both the early Church and Early Friends, and explore the Book of Revelation as a basis for understanding their relationship to empire and “the Lamb's War.” We will look at what, if anything, the Lamb's War has to do with Friends today and consider practices of resistance that may be meaningful as we consider our own relationship to the American Empire.
C. Wess Daniels is the William R. Rogers Director of Friends Center and Quaker Studies at Guilford College. Wess is an author and a recorded Quaker minister committed to liberation theology, anti-imperial expressions of Christianity, and revitalising faith traditions that embody love and justice in our communities around the world.
In-person only.
2) Money — The Spiritual is not separate from the Practical
When you think about the practical realities of money in your life, what feelings or images come up? Do those same things surface when you reflect on how Spirit shapes your relationship with money? In this Right Sharing of World Resources workshop, Traci Hjelt Sullivan, Executive Director, will help us explore where these experiences overlap and where they differ, through guided conversation about how we use money and the spiritual traditions and writings that inform our lives.
Right Sharing of World Resources, founded in 1967 by FWCC, facilitates educational opportunities to learn about our global connections to one another, and provides micro-enterprise grants to women's groups in Guatemala, India, Kenya, and Sierra Leone.
Available in person and via Zoom (with registration).
Forest-Bathing Excursion (Optional)
Meet at 1:10 p.m. outside under the awning (near the main meeting room entrance) to walk to the Lacamas Creek Trail. Expect a few short but steep-ish hills and potential mud (depending on the weather).

Workshop Descriptions
Quakers Discern Genocide in Gaza
Eight international Quaker organizations have added their voices to the growing worldwide consensus that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, and they are asking other Quaker organizations to endorse their statement. Workshop participants will work through the statement and ask, “What does the Spirit require of us?”
Resources:
Presented by Paul Parker (in person and via Zoom), former principal at Ramallah Friends School and MCC peace coordinator for Palestine.
Practicing Equality: Self and Society
We’ll consider how the testimony of Equality manifests—or doesn’t—in our daily lives and meetings, what we can do to apply this more fully and faithfully, and how it relates to the larger systems and social structures around us.
Presented by Nathan Kleban, Program & Advancement Associate for Right Sharing of World Resources (via Zoom, hybrid session).
Bolivia: Seeking Right Relation Among Indigenous Culture, Climate Change, & Quaker History
Quaker relations between Bolivia (the poorest South American country) and America (the wealthiest North American country) demonstrate the difficult intersection of Indigeneity, Quaker evangelism, colonialism, capitalism, economic inequality, education, and climate change. We look to discover how others are weaving a new tapestry from both Western health, education, technology & Indigenous community, right relation, and simplicity.
Presented by Andrew and Janet Franklin (in person and via Zoom), Members of Camas Friends, after their summer learning trip to Bolivia.
Book Signing
Friends will be selling Kevin Camp’s autographed book, Thanksgiving at Meth Mountain. Kevin, a member of Camas Friends, will attend the Gathering via Zoom.

Gil George is the Operations Manager for FWCC Section of the Americas. He is a member of West Hills Friends.
Foot-washing Fun with Derek (in-person only)
To wash another person's feet, as Jesus did, and to allow another person to wash our own is to practice deep humility and can be powerfully transformative. This workshop is focused on facilitating a Christ-centered worship experience. In-person only. Dress appropriately.
Derek Lamson has been a worship leader and SCYMF activist since 2017, and currently serves on Faith and Practice Committee.
Jesus, the Roman Empire, and the State of Israel
This workshop will explore: (1) Jesus’ harsh warning in Luke 13:1-5 when he was told about Rome’s massacre of Jews in worship, “Unless you repent, you too will perish”; (2) the current situation in Palestine and Israel; and (3) if Jesus is still relevant, what might repentance look like for those who witness Israeli atrocities today?
Paul Parker recently retired from Elmhurst University outside Chicago where he taught religious studies for 32 years. He has worked, studied, and volunteered in Israel and Palestine frequently since 2004. Most recently, he was the principal of Ramallah Friends School's upper campus which is located near the center of Ramallah in the West Bank of Palestine. From its beginning in 1869 until today, RFS has taught Palestinian boys and girls — Muslims and Christians — in the rich tradition of Friends. Paul attends Eugene Friends.
Let's Talk About Death and Dying (no, really!)
Baltimore Yearly Meeting has just published an important book (with a little help from a couple of Sierra-Cascades folks):
A Tender Time: Quaker Voices on the End of Life.
It includes chapters on aging well, end-of-life planning, and how friends, caregivers, and meetings can respond, and lots of resources. This workshop will introduce the book and its benefits and encourage local meetings to explore it together. The book is available through Barclay Press prior to the workshop.
Laura Simmons spent two years as a hospice chaplain and has lost both her parents; she wishes others were more prepared for this eventuality. Laura attends West Hills Friends.
