MATT TALBOT RETREAT GROUP 128

Annual Men’s Fall Retreat 2019

Friday, September 6^th through Sunday, September 8^th

Holy Trinity Monastery in St. David, AZ

ABOUT US:  We are a group of recovering alcoholic men of all races, religious beliefs, ages, and walks of life who have recognized the need for help from a power greater than ourselves. We gather for a retreat weekend in a setting that promotes fellowship and sharing. Our Retreat is an opportunity to be away from the distractions of daily living for a couple of days in order to devote time to spiritual recovery from alcoholism. We use the retreat weekend to focus on one broad topic, led by a Retreat Master who facilitates conferences about a particular topic several times during the weekend. We strive to better learn how to utilize the tools suggested in the Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions of Alcoholics Anonymous.

OUR RETREAT MASTER:Peter F. McGoey M.A. MFC is a Primary Counselor at the Cottage Hospital COPE Intensive Outpatient Chemical Dependency and Mental Health Programs in Santa Barbara, California. He has been an Adjunct Professor at the University of California at Santa Barbara Continuing Education Department, Antioch University and Santa Barbara City College.
