Spirit of the pines

Spirit of the Pines is a Retreat for Recovering Alcoholics that is held Bi annually at Camp Olympia in Trinity Texas.

Even with the smoking ban we had 125 folks show up. Finances are good and the retreat went very well. Missed those who couldn't make it. 1/2 scholarships will be available in the Spring and the smoking ban will probably be lifted, so no excuses. Save the dates now. Registration form is below for the April 2012 Spirit. We are thinking we will be able to smoke on site again, but won't know for sure till closer to the event. Will update the website as things firm up.

Next Spirit - April 20, 21, 22nd 2012 is the Spring Spirit for 2012

Save the date - October 19, 20, and 21st are the dates for the Fall 2012 Spirit

Quotable:

"Every six months, at around this time of the night before leaving, I pause to wonder how short my life would have been had I not gone to that first Spirit in '95. My life was over, except for deciding how to get out of it. (If I had known in advance that I would get my will to live back at that first retreat, I probably would not have gone.) So, I arrive there with gratitude, which grows with every familiar face I see, and with every new face I see lighting up with that Spirit." - Tim L. before the Oct 09 Spirit
