The Spiritual Foundations of Recovery; Men's 11th Step
With Deacon Steven DeMartino
March 13 - 15, 2026
Join us for a series of reflections on the spiritual foundations of recovery; with a special emphasis on Steps 2, 11, and 12. We will share our experience, strength, and hope as we pray, meditate, and journey together over the weekend.
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.”
