Sober Sisters Retreat: We Come Together as Sisters We Have Chosen

Presented by Candace Bahr

Women’s recovery can differ from men’s, and each person’s recovery is, in many ways, unique.  It is important to find your own path in terms specially suited to the way women experience not only addiction and recovery but also relationships, self, sexuality and everyday life. This focus helps deepen and extend the lessons in the 12 Steps and beyond. 

During this retreat we will be referring to The Woman’s Way through the Twelve Steps by Stephanie S. Covington,Ph.D. We will have presentations, small group discussions and plenty of time for private prayer and meditation. If you have a drum or any other instrument, we will gather for a drum circle. We will also have a social on Saturday night.
