12 Step Weekly Workshop

The Tuesday workshop is open to all who are interesting in a … Spiritual Awakening!

2020 Big Book Workshop on Soundcloud
Each weekly workshop is recorded. An edited copy is available here for those who were not able to attend the actual meeting. This is a complete set of recordings from a previous year-long workshop (52 recordings in total) to supplement this year’s teachings. Many find it helpful to listen to them: after completing the current week’s assignments, prior to and as preparation for each current workshop, or, after the workshop, to supplement the discussion at the workshop.

Herb Kaighan, Spiritual Director (Sober since 1984): Through working the 12 Steps as contained in the Big Book, Herb experienced a profound spiritual awakening. He will discuss the impact of the Process & Principles for walking this path, practicing emotional sobriety to develop emotional maturity and a practice of daily intentional consciousness.
