Solitary Quaker by Choice?

I understand that some Quakers are solitary by necessity, as they do not live near a meeting, and that Community is one of the Quaker testimonies. But in my personal experience, while the Quaker testimonies resonate with me more than any other world religion I've studied, and while I gain great insights from silent retreats and communing in nature, whenever I meet with Quakers for worship, the experience falls flat for me. Is there any precedent by which someone could become a member of the Religious Society of Friends without joining a specific Meeting?
