Welcome to Winter Awakening. Please be patient while we build our new website.
Winter Awakening is a yearly non AA sanctioned retreat where LGBTQIA+ and friends in recovery can come together to explore and review their recovery, spirituality and support each other.

Mindful Meditation
Step 11 is “Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God, as we understood him, praying only for knowledge of his will for us and the power to carry that out.” Since Winter Awakening is a Step 11 retreat, we felt that having a page to offer meditation practice would be helpful for people throughout the year. Below are some meditations that Gary B has recorded and shared for you to listen to and add to your meditation practice. If you are interested in adding to our collection please email us at info@winterawakening.org. Namaste.
