New Mexico Regional Meeting Fall Gathering: “Connecting, Celebrating, Serving”

A Call to Friends in New Mexico, Durango and El Paso: 


September 26 - 28, 2025   

Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge, UNM Field Station, La Joya, New Mexico


Let’s come together!  As New Mexico Region Friends, we traditionally gather one time each year.  For 2025, Albuquerque Monthly Meeting calls all Friends in the region to a time of fellowship with the theme “Connecting, Celebrating, Serving.”  This is a moment in time when many long to strengthen our Quaker ties and practices.


This year we will be in a new gathering place—for us—that is centrally located for our region and that we hope strikes a balance of natural beauty, spiritual space, invitation to community and affordability.  The UNM Field Station provides a retreat-like setting with comfortable, simple housing, a commercial RV campground nearby and hotels in Socorro about 25 minutes south of Sevilleta.  


Activities will involve all generations with some structured by age. Child programming will be provided.


See Albuquerque Monthly Meeting's list serv for registration information by August 20th. 







Tending Our Losses: A Gathering for Grieving People on Oct. 4

Big News! ABQ Friends Move Forward on Construction of New Building

New Mexico Regional Meeting Fall Gathering: “Connecting, Celebrating, Serving”

Does your heart ache with loss? Whether for the death of a loved one, loss of stability (partner, job, housing), or even grief over the state of the world, many of us right now are deep in grief. Care and Counsel and Worship and Ministry have invited Holly Baldwin to offer us a gathering to tend to our grieving hearts.


When: Oct 4, 9-12:30

Hybrid

RSVP to Casey Spivey by Mon 9/22 


When we make space for grief, it doesn’t make it go away, but it makes it easier for us to hold it some more. And as hard as grief is, we know that the more we love, the more grief comes for us - so we’d better get better at holding space for it in our hearts and bodies.


This gathering - part workshop, part retreat - will bring us together to share our grief. We’ll try out some spiritual practices for grief support that help us move towards resilience and wholeness.


Holly Baldwin is an AMM attender who is a Spiritual Companion offering retreats and

workshops to help people connect more deeply with their spiritual journey. You can learn more about her work at www.journeytowardlight.com


Registration limited to 20 participants.

Big News! ABQ Friends Move Forward on Construction of New Building

After many years of discussion and discernment, the Meeting approved going forward with a

building project on the premises. The meeting was hybrid (attended both on Zoom and in-person).


1. AMM approves moving forward with a building project that includes constructing an auxiliary building on our

current grounds, along with possible renovations to our current Meetinghouse and landscaping.


2. AMM approves taking the steps recommended by the Fundraising Outreach Group (FOG), namely, to form and

be willing to serve on interacting working groups: for example, (1) Design, (2) City Regulations and Permitting,

(3) Finances, (4) Fundraising, (5) Community Outreach & Engagement, (6) Children/Youth Programming, and

(7) Ongoing Conversations Within the Meeting. Minor Morgan and Sara Keeney will act in a coordinating role

with respect to the working groups.


3. AMM approves committing an initial investment of up to $30,000 to hire an architect or other professionals and

to cover other related initial expenses of the working groups.

Friends General Conference (FGC) Offerings

Weekly Worship Sharing for Friends of Color & White Friends Confronting Racism

 Friends General Conference (FGC) offers weekly worship opportunities online for both Friends of Color and for White Friends Confronting Racism.  Learn more, including how to register, on the Racial Justice page.

Here's what an AMM member who regularly attends this gathering shared:


"The weekly Worship for White Friends Confronting Racism group is a space  where I feel utterly safe in considering issues of internalized racism, experiences as a white person in bringing anti-racism consciousness and work to my meeting, and growing in my understanding of the spiritual aspects of this work.  Breakout groups add to the opportunities for fellowship and mutual support.  I find it discouraging that the number of attendees is small -- with this offering extending to Quakers across the country.  It begs the question as to where is everyone else? As one participant said, "We have to find ways to talk with other white people about race!"  Join us.
