The Addictions Recovery Ministry will host our annual Women's Weekend January 18-20. 2019 at the Solomon Episcopal Conference Center.
Our theme for the weekend is "Finding Your True Self in Sobriety".
The theme of this weekend is Finding Your True Self in Sobriety. Our facilitator is Denise Marsters, who is the founder and chief executive officer of The McCoy House for Sober Living in Jackson, Mississippi. Denise is a therapist by profession and has worked in the field of addiction for 22 years. Denise has been in recovery for over 24 years and has much to offer for all of us. Denise believes in a holistic approach to recovery where she incorporates the twelve steps with other modalities of well-being which include yoga, meditation, diet, and exercise, art, dance, nature, etc. During our time together, we will have an opportunity to share Morning Prayer, Holy Eucharist, 12-step meetings, Reconciliation, and Spiritual Direction. This weekend is a great opportunity for relaxing, reflecting, renewing, and visiting. It is a wonderful gift to ask for or to give yourself.
The weekend begins with supper at 6:30 pm on Friday, January 18 and ends on Sunday, January 20, about noon, following a 12-Step Eucharist. You may check in on Friday after 3pm. However, you may arrive at SECC as early as 1pm on Friday. On Friday night we will gather in the lodge at 7:30pm for Denise's first session.
