SUMMARY:12-Step Retreat: First Things First – Faith in Recovery
DESCRIPTION:Recovery\, the power of story\, in the silence of Centering Prayer \nThis retreat explores the essential principles that formed the first steps of The Twelve Step program of recovery now known as Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). As we view and discuss the engaging play\, Bill W and Dr Bob\, we see how the lives of two desperate men\, their families and friends\, and an historic convergence of events forged the foundation of faith integral in their recovery and in the formation of AA’s foundational first three steps. Through viewing\, discussion\, journaling\, and reflection we see how these essential principles formed spiritual practices in their lives and established a program of recovery grounded in faith. During our time together may the voice of our stories contribute to the integrity of recovery’s indispensable first fruit of spiritual awakening. \nRetreat presenter\, Kenny Kohberger\, is a member of COSEW’s Coordinating Team and a commissioned presenter of the 12-Step Centering Prayer meditation practice. His recent course of study at Virginia Theological Seminary supported his research which affirmed the significance of faith in twelve step recovery. “First Things First – Faith In Recovery” is the culminating project of his study. Before attending seminary Kenny had a rich career in the performing arts. Yet his eyes widen and emit joy when asked about his project. For Kenny\, “First Things First – Faith In Recovery” is the creative manifestation\, a crescendo\, of a seeker’s journey. \nThis retreat is for people who participate in any 12-Step program\, or those who support recovery\, and desire to deepen their meditation practice and enrich their spirituality. There will be daily morning and afternoon periods of Centering Prayer meditation. In addition to the play\, we will view a few of the videos from the series “The Contemplative Dimension of the Twelve Steps with Thomas Keating.” An Intensive Centering Prayer Retreat observes the contemplative practice of silence except when sharing at Twelve Step Meetings and during discussion at program sessions. \nPlease see the link below to register.

SUMMARY:Emotional Sobriety Through Contemplative Practice
DESCRIPTION:Contemplative Enrichment Day with Jim McElroy \nBill Wilson\, one of the founders of Alcoholics Anonymous\, coined the term “Emotional Sobriety.” He noticed that some AA members with long-term sobriety still experienced troublesome emotional reactions which were caused by “faulty emotional dependencies.” Contemplative practice heals the emotional wounds of our lifetime and touches the deep unconscious\, where all of our real hurts\, motivations and deepest visions lie. This day will focus on using contemplative practices to respond with a new heart and being fully present in each moment. \nThis program will be offered both in-person and online via Zoom. Information on how to access the program on Zoom will be sent to participants in advance. \nThis program will include a morning and an afternoon session of Centering Prayer. \nJim McElroy has been practicing Centering Prayer since 1996 and has been a commissioned presenter since 2002. Jim has been on the leadership team of 12-Step Outreach since its formation in 2005 and is especially interested in teaching contemplative practices to the recovery community. He is a former coordinator of Contemplative Outreach of St. Louis and currently leads Contemplative Outreach’s Welcoming Prayer team and serves on Contemplative Outreach Ltd.’s Governing Board.
