Unknown Knowing: A Women’s 12 Step Retreat for Deepening Spiritual Connection

There’s a place within each of us that knows—a quiet, steady presence beneath the noise of fear, control, and self-will. But how often do we dismiss that inner voice because we can’t explain it?

Unknown Knowing is a retreat for women in 12 Step recovery who long to deepen their conscious contact with a Higher Power—and with themselves.

Through prayer, meditation, journaling, movement, and women’s circle, we will create space to pause, listen, and reconnect with the still, small voice within. Together, we’ll explore how to trust our intuitive guidance, even when we don’t fully understand it.

This is a space of spiritual exploration—not about figuring it out, but about allowing the truth to rise.
