Sober Sisters

We are each a miracle! We are a circle of women!

This retreat led by Ruth Hoenick will venture into the stories of beloved women who helped in the formation of AA. Participants will examine the pioneers like Sylvia K. & Florence R., who fought for their own sobriety while also jostling for seats at the tables of AA. They will explore the pioneers in themselves. Stories of those who have gone before us such as Marty M. and Betty F. will reveal the sacred chronicles of courageous women. It will bring forward one’s own courage. Tales of walking through the 12 steps in recovery with long times and sponsors will demonstrate how victorious Sober Sisters can be in a powerful circle of women!

During this retreat, we will probe into the women’s stories in the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, and Voices of Women in AA from the AA Grapevine. Participants will experience presentations, small group discussion, and time for prayer and reflection. There will be interactive activities throughout the weekend.

Check-In begins at 3:00 pm on Friday, followed by orientation at 5:45 and supper at 6:00. The retreat concludes after the noon meal on Sunday. The investment for the weekend retreat is $240 and includes lodging in a regular room and six meals.
