Being Sober and Becoming Happy: A weekend retreat with John MacDougall
Advertisement
This retreat is based on five themes from John MacDougall’s book, “Being Sober and Becoming Happy:”
• Staying Sober: a review of what the essentials are for getting and staying sober.
• Spirituality and Recovery: the development of spiritual resilience that can support sobriety over the life span.
• Surrender and Trust: learning to surrender to a Higher Power, and learning to trust in God, in trustworthy people, and in life itself.
• Spiritual Healing for Abuse and Trauma.
• Hope: finding sources of hope regardless of one’s life situation.
We will have a combination of lectures and discussions as we support each other.
The fee to attend this weekend is $350/per person, which includes the retreat, meals, and lodging. Scholarship funds are available upon request.
For those who struggle with substance use, a minimum of 30 days of continuous sobriety is required to attend our spiritual retreats.
