Earlier this month, I attended Friends General Conference’s Gathering at Haverford College. I’ve been struggling to write about my experience there and afterwards. But let me try. The Gathering was invigorating for me in many ways. I had the opportunity to connect with other Quaker and Quaker-interested young adults, many of whom were queer and/or neurodivergent. I had somewhat forgotten how amazing it feels to be among people like yourself.
Hey Margin! OMG I almost signed up for the Playback Theatre workshop.
I can feel in my body your story about shutting down in public and having an ambulance called. Powerful words: “I know what is happening and I’ll be okay.” I am SO SORRY they were not respected. I think A LOT about how to shut fown or re-set safely in public.
This brings up a lot of thoughts for me, and they are all a jumble in my head! I am grateful that you coherently write about your experiences. <3.

Omg I relate with struggling to practice and then loving the process of performing! I played second violin in the orchestra and took intro piano.
