Retreat Theme The theme of this weekend is "A Design For Living". Where did AA’s ‘design for living’ come from? What did the early AA’s read before the Big Book was written? Dr. Bob said that one of the “essentials” was the Book of James. This retreat will present the principles and practices in James that became part of the 12-Step foundation and through discussion and small groups consider how we can apply them in our daily lives. Our challenge is not just to stop practicing our addictions and psychological dependencies, but also to learn how to live in freedom from the bondage of self. James provides the practical framework and guidelines that have worked for over 2000 years to let us live happy, joyous, and free.
