What we’re about
Mystic Friends is a spiritual group formed in 2023 under the care of the Newtown Square Quaker Meeting. Its purpose is to create a safe community to share and explore mystical experiences, readings, discussions, and events. When we speak of “mystical experiences” we mean to include not only religious experiences but those experienced in nature and within each mind and soul.
Quakerism, at its heart, is a mystical religion. Despite these origins, Quakers and non-Quakers alike are often reluctant to share their mystical experiences because there are few communities that welcome them in a supportive manner. We are confident that Mystic Friends can fill this void. We aim to bring together both Quakers and non-Quakers to search for the roots of mysticism that seem to be present in each human soul. Our goal is to encourage the sharing of mystical experiences, contemplation and discussion in the setting of an old Meeting House where people have been gathering for similar sharing for over 300 years.
