Pilgrimage 2015 Registration Form (2.24 Draft)

Quaker Journey:

Exploring the Roots of Quakerism in England’s Lake District

22-29 July 2018

GENERAL INFORMATION

We are excited to share this information with you and hope you’ll consider participating in this remarkable educational and even spiritual experience.

Participants will have the opportunity to travel through the Lake District of Northern England exploring historic Quaker buildings and sites in the footsteps of Religious Society of Friends founder George Fox. Roy Stephens—an experienced historian, guide, and British Quaker—will lead this tour through 1652 country. Lodging and meals will be provided by the Victorian-era Glenthorne Quaker Conference Centre and Guest House in Grasmere, England. (

Days will be full, but include time for individual and group reflection and for worship. Travelers will have two and a half open days to explore the area’s cultural, historic, natural, and other attractions. The itinerary incorporates some significant walking and an optional, somewhat rigorous climb up Pendle Hill; if you have questions about mobility expectations, please contact the trip organizers.

We have space for 24 participants, aged 18 years and beyond. We encourage young adults interested in the roots of Quakerism to consider joining us. We seek a balance of participants from Friends meetings and from Friends schools.

Applications received first will get priority consideration, but final decisions may take into account other factors (such as the availability of particular room configurations and participation balance among school and meeting communities).

FLIGHT ARRANGEMENTS / SHUTTLE INFORMATION (Manchester Airport)

Each participant is responsible for arranging and paying for individual travel to and from England. England is five hours ahead of EST in the US. We recommend flying into Manchester Airport. We have arranged for one shuttle (included in the registration fee) between Manchester Airport (and/or the nearby Bewley’s Hotel) and the Glenthorne Quaker Centre and Guest House in Grasmere on the mornings of July 22 and July 29.

Note: If you are planning to ride the shuttle from Manchester Airport, your flight must arrive before our 9 am departure the morning of Sunday July 22. We encourage you to consider arriving the day before on July 21 and staying at Bewley’s or at another Manchester hotel close to the airport.

Alternatively, you could fly in and out of other European cities and travel to Glenthorne via British Rail to Oxenholme station or rent a car and drive. We recognize that some participants might choose to travel to other places in Europe before or after the tour.

TRIP INSURANCE

The cost of the trip is not refundable unless we are able to fill your space with someone on a waitlist. We encourage you to consider purchasing travel insurance to cover unforeseen travel disruptions.
