Freedom in Letting Go: Drop the Rock Retreat
Advertisement
In this Women Only Recovery Retreat Weekend, we will explore powerful insights using the principals outlined in AA Twelve and Twelve, Steps Six and Seven, referring to the "rocks" as our defects of character. Join us to explore the process of identifying these tendencies and stopping the behaviors. Learning this process will not only help us in recovery but will lead us to true happiness and usefulness to others.
"A clear light seems to fall upon us all -when we open our eyes. Since our blindness is caused by our own defects, we must first realize what they really are. Self-searching is the means by which we can bring new vision to our lives".
AA Twelve and Twelve -Pg. 100
During this retreat we will discuss with reflection and sharing the letting go of character defects that get in the way of true and joyful recovery. This recovery retreat provides a supportive environment for reflection, learning, and connection. We hope you will join us for this deep dive into self-discovery and healing as we collectively navigate the path to true freedom.
Retreat is for Women Only and All recovery fellowships are welcome. Register here:
