Sought Through Prayer & Meditation
An 11th Step retreat with Sherry Gaugler-Stewart.
"Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out."
Step 11 speaks of improving our conscious contact with our Higher Power, which isn’t easy to do if we don’t take time and space to intentionally focus on and strengthen that relationship. This retreat will be an opportunity to renew and deepen our commitment to this Relationship and our program by focusing on Step 11—practicing prayer, meditation, and quiet reflection throughout the weekend.

The Shaping Process: focusing on efforts, not results
A weekend retreat with Roger B.
How do I come to the place where I can let God or these Higher Principles guide and shape me? How do I know when it's my idea or God's? If it’s my Higher Power’s will or mine? How do I create a lifestyle that frees me to continue to grow? We are the clay, and our Higher Power is the Master Potter. During this weekend we explore how to mold ourselves into having a totally different relationship, by allowing ourselves to be open to the possibilities that come when we’re open to guidance.
