Held in December, the retreat was envisioned by Sandy B to not be marketed - no flyers, no website - just spread by word of mouth, drawing seekers from the four corners in a non-AA spiritually focused men's retreat.
This one was special. It came at the end of a year where Sandy lost two daughters - one murdered in the spring, one died of alcoholism in July.
Special thanks to the website where I found this and the rest of the series held from 2006 to 2012

A good introduction to the retreat and how it came about.
Sandy covers in some detail the calamity and serenity of losing two daughters tragically in the past 10 months.
Then he gets into the topic expanding outside the standard AA literature.
