Step 11 workshop
Saturday, January 2, 2027 · Doors open 8:30 AM – 1:30 PM
A soft morning of prayer, meditation, sharing, and quiet return.
Step 11 says, "Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him..." This day is a chance to spend time with that practice.
The steps ask for surrender. Not a better act. Not a harder push. A letting go, a listening, and a little willingness to be shown the next right thing.
Many of us know what it is to do things halfway. This morning offers room to pause, pray, sit still, and come back to the path in front of us.
Step 11
A plain morning of prayer, meditation, and conscious contact with God as we understood Him.
Seating is limited.
All are welcome.
Room for coffee, sharing, meditation, and four focused breakouts before the closing prayer.
Breakout rooms
I hold the reins so tight my hands ache. If I don't steer everything — people, plans, outcomes — I'm sure it all falls apart.
A room about loosening the grip. Practice handing over what you were never in charge of, and find the freedom waiting on the other side of control.
I can forgive almost anyone, but the voice in my own head stays hard. I'd never talk to a newcomer the way I talk to myself.
Practice turning that same kindness inward. A gentle room for the part of you that still feels not enough.
My head gets loud and tangled. I pray and I go to meetings, but I don't always know what I'm actually feeling — or what I'm still carrying around.
A guided practice of writing it out, led by Siobhan and Doreen. Journaling slows the racing mind, puts feelings into words you can see, and lets you hand them over instead of carrying them — and leaves you a written record of your own path.
Somewhere along the way I stopped making things, playing, imagining. The program got serious and the joy went quiet.
A hands-on room to find your way back to creativity as a way of being with God. No talent needed, just willingness.

Ali H. (Toronto) will share experience with Step 11 in a simple and honest way, with respect for anonymity and the spirit of the room.
