Gatherings
Since 2025 we have met on Saturday mornings in Northeast Ohio to read a book together and talk honestly about what it asks of us. Every workshop is free and open to anyone.
July 30 – August 1, 2027
Three days at Cleveland Public Hall, the room where our Twelve Traditions were adopted and where Dr. Bob gave his farewell talk. Meetings, speakers, panels, breakout sessions, an archives exhibit, and fellowship. Registration is $45 for the whole weekend.
Cleveland Public Hall · 500 Lakeside Ave E, Cleveland, Ohio
June 20, 2026
A return to pages 85–88 and the practice they describe: the nightly review, the morning ask, and the pause when agitated or doubtful. This second sitting made room for breakout sessions and closed with a guided meditation.
St. Bede the Venerable · Mentor, Ohio
March 14, 2026
Prayer and meditation taken plainly and practically. We read the Eleventh Step passages together, put a panel to work on them, and spent the last of the morning in guided meditation rather than discussion.

January 17, 2026
The Sixth and Seventh Steps, and the character defects we carry long after we mean to set them down. Built around the book by Bill P., Todd W., and Sara S., with open sharing and a full Q&A panel.

November 15, 2025
Anthony de Mello's final book, read alongside our basic text. Awareness, detachment, and love without conditions — gentle in tone and radical in what it asks you to put down.
Mentor Plains United Methodist Church · Mentor, Ohio
September 13, 2025
Our first workshop. Henry Drummond's 1891 meditation on the love chapter, read as a lens for our basic text — with a panel, open sharing, and pizza from Longo's at noon.
