Getting to Happy, Joyous and Free

This retreat weekend will focus on the moment to moment practical application of Steps 10, 11 & 12 to embrace the “Three A’s” of recovery—Awareness, Acceptance, and Action. 

The Speakers, Arisa B. From Boston, MA and Michael D. From Idaho, who both spoke at the Freedom Trail Retreat and have a combined sobriety of over 50 years. Arisa and Michael have traveled around the country and world to speak on their experience strength and hope and we are so pleased to have them be our 2 keynote speakers for the 3 day retreat!  

These guiding principles, open us to growing and understanding in order to better recognize our mistakes, accept them with grace, and let God do the heavy lifting in our lives so we can capitalize on them. We will focus on the simple spiritual disciplines that nurture vision and intent in our everyday lives, one moment at a time. 

Designed for anyone on the 12 step journey, new or with years of experience.

The weekend will comprise five sessions and room for fellowship rooted in spirituality and fun!

This 3-day retreat will include a Friday evening, after dinner program with fire pit gathering, if weather allows.
