For those of you attending the retreat, I look forward to meeting and sharing some good recovery times with you. For the others unable to attend this year, for whatever reason, I hope you can find your way here next year. I hear good feedback year after year. One other thing I hear, which the PSRC addresses regularly, are the areas that people wish to see either more of or even something new. Just as in our working recovery, we are always making some sort of progress, the PSRC is always asking how can we make it better each year.

I am attaching two files on this page so that you may see the basic guidelines of the retreat as well as this year’s schedule. Read them and enjoy them. If you have any comments, please reach out to us at info@soundretreat.org.

There are so many things to look forward to at this year’s retreat. Some of it is stated in our theme for this year, Healing Through Grace and Community. Each year this retreat offers healing and recovery for many individuals. There are workshops, recovery meetings, nature viewing, lakeside splashing, friendly conversations, meeting people, and so much more. Get ready for some great healthy fun times and community building while each of us works to strengthen our own personal recovery. And, if you didn’t know, this is the 35th Annual (rendition) of Serenity on the Sound. Yay!

One of the highlights of Serenity on the Sound is the Outer Circle Show and Tell on Friday night.  Everyone gets five minutes to share something they do for fun.  In the past, people have sung, played an instrument and read original poetry.  One person showed us her elaborate, beautiful scrapbooks.  Another shared pictures of his exotic cats. Another read us a favorite children’s book, sharing the pictures as she went.  Things don’t always go as planned but we always have a good time and everyone gets applause.  

Participation is optional, of course, but encouraged.  So, get ready!  We’re looking forward to seeing and hearing what you have to share! Let’s have some great recovery time together.
