IN THE SPIRIT OF AA: A 12-Step Retreat
Friday, August 20 - Sunday, June 22, 2021
Spend a weekend getting back to the key that unlocks the 12-Steps for those who follow them. We will take a slightly different approach to these conventional steps and traditions. Recovery can be a shock to the system, as are all experiences of God. We find God in adversity and weakness; in our common disease will be found our common strength and courage.
Father Isaac Kalina has been a monk of Valyermo since 1984. Having completed his theological degree in Rome at Collegio Sant' Anselmo, he was ordained a priest in 1989. He has served the Abbey as Prior, Sub-prior, Kitchenmaster, Youth Director, and Juniormaster. He is involved in retreats and workshops, bilingual ministry, 12-step recovery, addiction counseling, spiritual direction, and grief coaching.
