11th-Step Retreat
Open To All People in Recovery of any Kind, Family, and Friends
Mercy Center, Auburn, CA – September 11-14, 2025
John and Peter are delighted to return to the Mercy Center in Auburn, CA for their annual 11th Step retreat. The retreat will focus on using the skills of meditation, mindfulness, and prayers of one’s own spiritual tradition to deepen their connection with their chosen spiritual path and develop more resiliency, inner peace, and joy in your life. There will be instruction, group discussions, meditation, and private reflection time.
A few quotes on prayer and meditation
“There is a direct linkage among self-examination, meditation, and prayer. Taken separately these practices can bring much relief and benefit. But when they are logically related and interwoven, the result is an unshakable foundation for life” (Page 98, 12 &12).
“Emotional balance is one of the first results of meditation, and our experience bears this out” (Page 47, NA Basic Text).
“Loving-kindness does not mean making sure you’re feeling good all the time – trying to set up your life so that you’re comfortable every moment. Rather, it means setting up your life so that you have time for meditation and self-reflection, for kindhearted, compassionate self-honesty.” Pema Chödrön
