We will share with you what our mission is, what we hope to accomplish in this Virtual Retreat and the Into Action Meditation approach to working the steps.

Lets Start with a Meditation

We begin with a quick meditation to help get us centered, to give you an opportunity to evaluate where you are in with your meditation skill set and perspective.

Why Meditate?

We will explore what the AA literature suggests as to why we should meditate, what is the next frontier in sobriety, what we can do to help develop our habit of meditation practice.
