- **Event Name**: The Twelve Steps and the Shadow Self (in-person)
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 29 May, 2026 at 06:30 pm – Sat, 30 May, 2026 at 04:00 pm (-05:00)
- **Event Description**: Letting Our Higher Power Transform Our Character Defects Into Character Strengths

Meets Friday, 6:30-9 p.m. and Saturday, 9 a.m.-4 p.m.

This retreat is for adults who are members of any 12-step program and active in their recovery.

As we do the challenging work of “making a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves,” we identify negative personality traits. We often see these parts of ourselves as something bad that needs to be fought against. But what if we could befriend our character defects and let them be our teacher? The spiritual concept of the shadow self gives us tools and a path for doing that. Through short presentations, group sharing and personal reflection, participants will share their experience, strengths and hope in working with their negative traits.

Investment: This retreat would typically cost $190, but thanks to our generous Norman L. Gillette Sr. Scholarship Fund, we can offer it for just $75. A private room and meals are included.

Brian is a retired ecclesial minister, author, presenter and certified spiritual director with 20 years of 12-step recovery.
