"Come As You Are:" Spiritual Retreat in Recovery #116
The mission of Spiritual Retreats in Recovery is to provide a safe place to deepen one’s spiritual journey, open to anyone in recovery from alcoholism or other addictions, and to families and friends affected by the disease of addiction. Members of AA, NA, ACA, Al-Anon and other recovery practices share their experience, strength, and hope in a community of love and support.
The Revs. Jason Roberts and Nancy Springer will guide us through the retreat’s recovery theme, "Come As You Are." Taking place at Mustang Island Conference Center, participants will explore and share what it was like, what happened, and what we are like now. Onsite services, topical spiritual insight, and pastoral care will be provided. Ample time will be set aside for individual exploration as well.
All friends in recovery are welcome. No church affiliation is required. Current diocesan guidelines and Mustang Island Conference Center's pandemic protocol will be observed, including limited enrollment for attendance. Attendees will be treated to warm hospitality, delicious food, and thoughtful presentations in this beautiful coastal setting.
