40th Anniversary

Pathways to Serenity is for people in recovery from chemical dependency and those who love them.  It’s for newcomers and old-timers.  Alcoholics, addicts, Al-Anons, family members and concerned persons are most welcome.  Pathways is a spiritual retreat.  People of any faith and those seeking faith are invited.  Our primary focus is the spiritual path known as the 12 Steps (as first published by Alcoholics Anonymous). There will be an open 12 Step meeting (AA/Al-Anon). Participants are free to create their own retreat experience.  Many chances for Step work and for spiritual/religious practice will be offered.  All activities are optional. 

Retreat fees are: full weekend $90 with deposit fee of $45; Saturday only $40.  Partial scholarships may be available.  For questions call Patti Christensen at (515) 707-9628 or email PathwaysCoordinators@gmail.com.

What to Bring:  a friend, sleeping bag and/or sheets, pillows, blankets, towels/wash clothes, flash light, earplugs, used books to share, games, lawn chairs or cushions to sit on.  We have a potluck Friday evening so please bring food to share!

Because we are required to pay for our retreat food before we arrive, we ask that you send in your full weekend fee of $90; Saturday only fee of $40 or the $45 deposit by the September 14, 2024 deadline.
