This retreat is an introductory exploration of Biblical Psalms as a tool of discovery, redemption, and renewal for those on the path of recovery from addiction. The Psalms are known and loved both as sacred scripture and as works of pure poetry. But less well-known is that within these 150 gems of verse are countless, uncanny passages that express in raw emotion and indelible language what those of us in recovery experience in our journey to the light of sobriety. Led by two “friends of Bill W,” (one an Episcopal Deacon, one a lay writer/professor), this weekend will be an informal dive into one of the greatest pieces of spiritual literature ever, and a time to share our “experience, strength and hope” in fellowship with each other.
