The uniquely American gift to spirituality:
A message in a bottle

Fr. Richard Rohr presents a breathtaking message in a bottle the Gospel as revealed in the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous. Rediscover the teachings of Jesus in the language of the lost and find hope for a world drowning in addiction and compulsion.

How Do We Breathe Under Water?, a three-day conference near Dallas, will unite people of God, medicine and 12-Step fellowships in bringing a message of healing to all who need and want it, bearing witness to the transforming power of God in our midst.

A Conference for Everyone!

We must admit we all have addictions. Many of them are not the usual substance addictions. We have addictions to romance, work, our culture, emotions, delusions, and religion itself.

All of us can benefit by looking at these patterns through the lens of spirituality. Although we will be drawing upon the unique wisdom of the 12-Step program, this conference should be helpful to All People on a spiritual path.
