Presented by Maureen O’Brien

The Serenity Prayer, one of the foundations of 12-Step Recovery, is built around deeply inspirational words: serenity, acceptance, change, wisdom and courage. In this program we will reflect on how these words inspire and challenge us. We will also see how the prayer overlaps with, and connects to, other prayers, poems, and passages that can guide and sustain our journeys. This is a time to slow down, share, listen, be moved, and uplifted. All seekers are welcome. 

COST | $50, lunch is included
