Twelve-Steps Spirituality: Conscious Contact with the Divine

This workshop gives participants an in-depth understanding of the spirituality behind the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). And we will:

• Learn practical techniques for incorporating spiritual principles into our daily lives. 
• Explore addiction from its cultural and scientific basis while working within a supportive spiritual framework provided by the world's religions, indigenous practices, and the words of the mystics, both ancestral and contemporary.
• Navigate our place within the Hero's Journey and explore and deepen our relationship with a Higher Power of our understanding. 

Although the course will utilize the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous, the solution focus will apply to all forms of addiction (substance or process.) Multiple genres and the lens of numerous spiritual practices will invite those identifying as spiritual/religious, agnostic, or atheist to attend and feel supported.

By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:

• Learn practical techniques for incorporating spiritual principles into daily life
• Connect with others in recovery who share a commitment to spiritual growth

This workshop is ideal for:

• Anyone at any stage in examining personal addiction and seeking ways to alleviate unnecessary suffering
• Individuals in recovery from addiction
• Family members and loved ones of individuals in recovery
• Healthcare professionals and addiction counselors
• Anyone interested in learning more about the spiritual aspects of recovery from addiction
