Registration: Back at the Holy Trinity Monastery, St. David, Arizona. The registrations are limited to 55 individuals

only.

 Registrations will be open until the first 55 are received or Tuesday, February 11, 2026, whichever comes

first. All attendees must pre-register and pre-pay for the retreat. Registration can be completed at

Individuals who do not pre-register/pre-pay may be asked to leave prior to the start of the retreat.

What: 12 Step Retreat. Sponsored by Jim A, Paul B, & Allan B.

Who: Any SAA member, male or female, who is willing to go to any length for a spiritual experience.

Where: Holy Trinity Monastery, St David, Arizona

From Phoenix, go past Tucson – East on Interstate-10, take exit 303 or 304 (Benson) south on Highway 80 (Tombstone &

Douglas) to St David (approx. 8 miles) – Monastery is located south of St David between milepost 302 and 303. Look for

a large Celtic cross in the woods on the right side of the road.

When: Arrive Friday afternoon. The program will begin at 6:00 PM with dinner, followed by our First Step at 7:00 PM.

We will continue through Sunday and should finish Step 12 by Noon.

What to Bring: An AA Big Book, SAA Green Book, clothes, and supplies for three days. Also, bring soda or other

canned/bottled drinks if you would like them, as the monastery only supplies coffee, water, and juices for breakfast. They

do serve dinner on Friday, three meals on Saturday, and breakfast on Sunday. The food is wonderful, and it is included in

your registration fee. The weather is colder, so bring warm clothing, a flashlight, a notebook, pencils or pens.

Cost: $240 includes two nights lodging and five meals. Scholarships may be available, although they will be limited, and

individuals needing scholarships will not be confirmed until the week prior to the retreat. All scholarship funds will be

divided equally between those who request scholarships. All donations over the actual cost for this year’s retreat will be

used to fund scholarships, and any funds over that amount will be donated to the ISO or local intergroup. Payments and

Donations can be made with Paypal, Zelle, or Venmo. Links and registration can be found at www.phoenixsaaretreat.org

and will be given after registration.

Please do not let the cost be an issue in coming to our retreat, as Scholarships may be made available that can

help defray all or part of the suggested donation. Because of the limited space and resources, all scholarship

funds will be divided equally between those who request scholarships.
