Soul Kitchen Retreat – Fall 2018

THE SOUL KITCHEN – September 28 – 30, 2018
A Spiritual Retreat for Men and Women in Recovery

Theme: Who’s your Tribe?

In recovery, and life in general, we will inevitably become a member of various communities… Some by choice, some by birth, some by consequence. At the next Soul Kitchen, we’re going to take a look at these groups—or fellowships—and ask the question: Who is my TRIBE? In our typical, unfiltered Soul Kitchen fashion, we will be digging for truth as we look at who we are in the context of the tribe.

Facilitated by:  Ben C., Joe N., Susan L.

Soul Kitchen Retreat – Spring 2018

THE SOUL KITCHEN – April 13 – 15, 2018
A Spiritual Retreat for Men and Women in Recovery

Topic: FREE OF ANGER?
We need to get rid of pain and anger before we can bring in love. Our literature tells us that we need to be free of anger if we are to grow spiritually and stay sober. Free of anger…no more resentments…is that you? Knowing the danger in resentment, surely, we can’t be harboring anything, can we? Well…experience has shown us that while our minds may not be inundated with bitterness or hurt feelings, we may only be aware of the tip of the iceberg. Some of us know full well that we have issues here, and that they need to be addressed. Others believe they’ve left anger in the past. Sometimes, we find big, nasty resentments festering under the surface…hidden sources of spiritual pain and struggle. So we’re going to shine a light on them, and do our best to dig them out, root and branch. Join us for what will surely be a powerful weekend!
