Spirituality Series:
Monthly Workshops with Herb K.

The Mary & Joseph Retreat Center is sponsoring a series of topics that address our human journey for
establishing and sustaining relationships: with “God” (Reality/reality), with our self, and with others.

The Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous were originally conceived as an antidote to alcoholism and have now been adopted to address all addictions. The AA co-founder, Bill Wilson, prophesized in the preface to the First Edition of “Alcoholics Anonymous”: our way of living may have its advantages for all.

In this Workshop, you will learn, apply, and experience specific methods and tools for a radical personal change. The promises of this journey are: a gradual turning from a life of serial suffering, the deep darkness of despair and floundering, to an experience of being turned to a life of constant contentment, the bright sunlight of hope and flourishing.
