Practicing Life with the Serenity Prayer
With Maureen O'Brien
November 7 - 9, 2025
The Serenity Prayer, one of the foundations of 12 Step Recovery, is built around deeply inspirational words: serenity, acceptance, change, wisdom, and courage. In this retreat we will reflect on how these words challenge and inspire us, and also see how the Serenity Prayer connects to other prayers found within the 12 steps. All are welcome to come to this renewing, serene weekend of reflecting on how this prayer can brighten and guide us in our lives.
