Call to Intermountain Yearly Meeting (IMYM) Annual Gathering 2025
Call to Intermountain Yearly Meeting (IMYM) Annual Gathering 2025
You're invited to the 51st Annual Session of Intermountain Yearly Meeting of Friends held in hybrid at Fort Lewis College in Durango, Colorado from June 11 to 15, 2025. At this event, you can meet with other Friends on a deep level, perhaps more deeply than you have anywhere else. Community is a great antidote to the tumult we are experiencing in our world right now. Come with the intention to connect.
Our theme this year is Beloved Community: Gathered in Courage and Care. We are a community with much in common: believing that every person can connect with God directly and is of ultimate value, we each have a unique Spiritual journey, and the Light can lead us to service and social action.
I encourage you to join us in courage as we open ourselves, share from our depths and receive with care the vulnerability and strength of others in our exploration of Beloved Community. In doing this, we will come to love each other in that which is eternal.
Our program includes events for our whole community, such as a very special storytelling experience with Children’s Yearly Meeting. We will also have worship sharing, interest groups, Friendly Circles, evening events like dancing, and more.

Friends General Conference (FGC) Offerings
Weekly Worship Sharing for Friends of Color & White Friends Confronting Racism
.jpeg/:/cr=t:0%25,l:0%25,w:100%25,h:100%25/rs=w:814,h:407,cg:true)
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.
