Anglo-Dutch Urantia Readers’ Meeting 2025

August 9, 2025

October 3rd – 5th

In 2024 we planned to hold a meeting of British and European readers in England. Unfortunately, this event did not happen and was postponed to 2025. After months of intensive preparation, we are pleased to be able to announce that we, in collaboration with our Dutch brothers and sisters, will be holding a weekend gathering in Leiden, the Netherlands.

The meeting will take place entirely in English. Participants have been registering for it from the United Kingdom, the United States and France, and in the coming months we’re expecting more international participants.

This small-scale meeting (max. 15-20 participants) offers an excellent opportunity for deepening understanding, mutual communication, and common spiritual exploration. Every participant is warmly encouraged to prepare a short text for personal reflection on the chosen theme and share it during the meeting.

High points of the weekend:

  • Inspiring conversations and insights by international participants
  • Free time to explore the historic town of Leiden
  • Dinner together in the town on the Saturday evening
  • Relaxing reception on arrival (Friday) and departure (Sunday)

Programme: Learning to live each day loyally as a tadpole

Loyal persons are growing persons, and growth is an impressive and inspiring reality. Live loyally today – grow – and tomorrow will attend to itself. The quickest way for a tadpole to become a frog is to live loyally each moment as a tadpole. 100:1.4

The princess kissed the frog and he turned into a handsome prince – so the fairy tale goes. Returning to reality with a bump, The Urantia Book tells us to grow by living each day loyally as a tadpole. We may not turn into handsome princes but we will achieve new spiritual levels if we live loyally today.

What does it mean to live each day loyally? How we do embark on this growth journey? Come and join us at the weekend retreat to share, experience and explore the ways in which we can grow, acknowledge the barriers to growth, and how we can be over-comers.
