Discerning Sobriety with Erin Jean Warde

A retreat weekend exploring mindfulness, sobriety and spirituality

Saturday, February 25 | 9:30 AM - 6 PM

This event has concluded.

In person and streamed

Join us for a weekend retreat exploring tools to help enable you to discern your own relationship with addictive choices or behaviors so common to us all.

Erin Jean Warde, ordained Episcopal priest and author of Sober Spirituality, will share her personal journey which led her to quit alcohol. She and smaller breakout groups will provide additional tools to help each participant explore a more mindful relationship with our substance misuse and dependencies and the richer sobrieties we might seek or experience.

Recommended for those seeking wholeness in mind, body and soul, for those questioning their relationship with any kind of addictive choice (or supporting someone who is) regardless of where they are in their journey. Those of any faith or none are welcome.

Walk-ups welcome; pre-registration kindly requested for planning purposes.
