QuakerSpeak, November 2024

“I really appreciated, when I discovered a silent Quaker meeting, that all I need to do is listen,” says singer-songwriter Carrie Newcomer. “Something lovely happens when I quiet myself and . . . listen to what is coming up from the Spirit.”

In this video, Carrie describes how she came to that first Quaker meeting, in the rainforests of Monteverde, Costa Rica, and found “something that my heart had been longing for and hadn’t encountered yet.” She has joined Friends in community ever since, and it continues to guide her artistic process.
