About The Retreat
Our Serenity Retreat is for men and women who are in any form of recovery – such as alcohol or chemical addictions, and those in AA, NA, Alanon, and any other recovery group. This weekend provides an opportunity for people who follow the 12-step program to gather together to focus on their spiritual lives, and share their struggles and joys in a safe and respectful context.
What Past Partipants Say:
Amy is a deeply engaging speaker whose honesty and faith immediately draw people in. Whether she is speaking or listening, she is conscientious, welcoming, and fully present with those around her. The first time I heard Amy share a personal story, I was struck by her courage, authenticity, and trust in the people before her. She held the room with such sincerity that we were completely mesmerized, and I found myself disappointed when her talk came to an end.
Amy speaks from a place of strong faith and a deep belief that God meets us, often most powerfully, in our weakest moments. Amy’s message is meaningful because it is rooted in real life. Like all of us, she has faced pain and challenges, yet she continues to grow in her relationship with God and to seek peace and serenity for herself, her family, and the people she serves. Her ability to speak with vulnerability, compassion, and conviction makes her someone others can trust, learn from, and be inspired by.
What To Expect
Many guests come on their own and arrive not knowing anyone. Our Serenity Retreat is designed to be welcoming, respectful, and pressure-free at all stages of recovery. You are invited to participate at your own comfort level.
Whether this is your first retreat or your tenth, you will find time and space for prayer, reflection, fellowship, and rest in a supportive community.

“I have received so much from each spiritual director in my life. Through trauma, grief and loss, I have been held lovingly by those who accompanied me. Life has also held joys and mountain top experiences that were enhanced by direction. I am grateful to take my place now as a listener to the holiness, wonder, awe of others’ journeys. The ‘God threads’ of my own life keep me coming back to prayer, spiritual direction and holy listening with these intentions.”
