Thinking about going to a Quaker meeting - but is it right for me?
I'm thinking about going to a Quaker meeting tomorrow but I'm not sure. Please can anyone help me work out if it might be a good fit for me? If so, it might help me pluck up the courage to actually go.
If it makes a difference, I'm in the UK.
I'll say straight away that I'm not Christian and I do struggle with organised religion. I do have a very spiritual side though - broadly pagan really. There's a little church that I visit sometimes and just sit in the silence there, and absorb the peace, but I couldn't go to services there because I just don't connect with bible stuff as such.
I've had a really tough time this last year and I'm healing from a lot of stuff. I feel like I need peace, stillness, and to gently reconnect with myself, my spirituality, etc.
I've vaguely thought about going to a Quaker meeting on and off for a couple of years now, but never had the push to do it. Maybe now is the time? I'm not sure what I'm expecting to get out of it though. And I'm just not sure if it's actually a good fit for me.
What do you think?
