One of the widest, most traveled paths in our society is the healing journey known as the Twelve Steps. Millions of people world wide follow the 12 steps as their spiritual path.  Rev. Lucille Rosen has led 12 step retreats and lectured on this topic for many years.  Through this series of five evenings, Lucille will take participants deeply into these steps using an ancient Hebraic system of study known as “Pilpul”  (a process of penetrating investigation, disputation, and drawing of conclusions).  Delving deeply into this material, each person will find their personal guideposts towards uncovering and discovering how to live a spiritual life.

This course is essential for :

• Minister’s, Social Workers, Counselors – statistics indicate 85% of clients face some kind of addiction issue personally, or in the family, work place or friendship.  A basic understanding of Twelve Step spirituality is essential to a thriving practice.
• People in Recovery--This course will deepen and enrich the spiritual journey of healing and facilitate greater understanding of how to apply these step to life.
• All Spiritual Seekers – This clearly outlined program holds possibilities for all spiritual seekers.
