2024 Phoenix SAA Winter 12 Step Retreat, February 16-18, 2024



Registration HERE: Space is limited, so register early!  All attendees must pre-register and pre-pay.  Scholarship help is available, but individuals will not be confirmed as attendees until a full scholarship (or required amount) is confirmed.  Individuals who are not pre-paid for the retreat may be asked to leave the monastery, so please confirm your attendance before coming down.

What: 12 Step Retreat.  Sponsored by Jim A., Allan B., and Paul B. 

Who: Any male or female SAA member willing to go to any length for a spiritual experience.

Where: Holy Trinity Monastery, St. David, Arizona

When:  February 16-18, 2024.  The program will begin with dinner on Friday evening at 6 PM, followed by Step 1 at 7 PM.  The program will continue through Saturday, and we will complete Step 12 (or as far as we get) by noon on Sunday.


The cost of staying at the St. David Monastery has increased, resulting in an increase in costs for this program.  The retreat costs $240 for two nights and includes lodging and dinner on Friday, all meals on Saturday, and breakfast on Sunday.  Scholarships are available, although they will be limited, and individuals needing scholarships will not be notified until funds are actually available.  If you require assistance to attend, please indicate that on your registration, and someone will be in touch.

 All donations over the actual cost for this year's retreat will be used to fund scholarships for this year and next year or will be donated to the local Intergroup, Area, or ISO.

 Donations can be made through Paypal, Zelle, or Venmo.  All donations will be kept confidential, and please be sure to enter your email address so we can link your payment with the correct attendee!

What you need: An AA Big Book and SAA Green Book, a notebook, pencils or pens. An open and willing attitude and a willingness to go to any length for a spiritual experience.

Cost for the weekend is $240.   Preferred payments methods are Paypal, Zelle, or Venmo.  Checks or cash can be arranged.  If you cannot attend but wish to support a person who cannot afford the fee, please feel free to make a contribution.  

If you need assistance, please check that box on the registration form.  And please be sure to supply an email address or phone number so we can communicate with you prior to the event. Space is very limited so please register and pay early.
