Annual Fall Retreat

Every October, our group hosts a weekend Big Book Step Study Retreat at an amazing summer camp in the central Maine town of Winthrop. Two speakers share their experience going through all 12 Steps. This event began in 2001, and has become one of the most highly anticipated events of the year for those who attend. The Fall 2026 Retreat (our 25th!) will be held October 2nd-4th. Meanwhile, please enjoy recordings of past years' speakers below. FYI, due to technical difficulties in certain years, some of the individual steps were not recorded, sorry.
