I Come to the Garden: A Women's 11th Step
With Sr. Linda Fischer, ASC
February 20 - 22, 2026
A garden can teach you how to pray and meditate. There are seasons of inner planting, nurturing, waiting, and letting go. Come and allow the rhythm of nature, even in its winter stillness, to soothe your aching soul in the beautiful and healing setting of Enders Island this February.
Enders Island has long been steeped in the traditions and spirituality of the Twelve Step Program which had it’s beginnings in 1935 with the birth of AA. Our Recovery Retreats provide a unique opportunity for individuals to encounter and accompany one another as a recovery community seeking to live out the twelve steps, with particular emphasis on the eleventh step:
“We sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood God, praying for the knowledge of God’s will for us and for the power to carry that out.”
Find solace and renewal on the serene shores of Enders Island. Our single-gender Eleventh Step Weekend Retreats offer a sacred space for reflection, prayer, and connection. Check in begins Friday evening at 4:30 PM. The retreat will conclude on Sunday morning at 11 AM.
