11th Step Prayer and Meditation Room

Prayer Speaks | Meditation Listens

Within the TWELVE STEPS and TWELVE TRADITIONS Bill W. writes “Prayer and meditation are our principal means of conscious contact with God. We A.A.’s are active folk, enjoying the satisfactions of dealing with the realities of life, usually for the first time in our lives, and strenuously trying to help the next alcoholic who comes along. So it isn’t surprising that we often tend to slight serious meditation and prayer as something not really necessary.”

McHenry’s SOBERFEST provides a tranquil setting for visitors of all levels seeking to know more about the practice of Step 11 through Prayer, Meditation, Yoga sessions, Informational, Guided and Open Meditations with Special Presentations.

A detailed schedule of events will be provided to you upon arrival at Soberfest.
