To survive the tidal wave of compulsive behavior and addiction, we must learn “to breathe under water” and discover God’s love and compassion.

Every one of us suffers from some sort of addiction. For some, it might be a television series, while others struggle with a crippling reliance on drugs or alcohol. The cycle of dependency always leaves you wanting more; you are never satisfied no matter how much you indulge. If you are ready to break the unfulfilling cycle and experience internal freedom, this insightful book offers an optimistic view and can support you on your journey.

Join us for our contemplative study of Breathing Underwater beginning January 5th for 13 sessions, on the first, third, and fifth Sundays, through June 15th. You are invited to jump in and out as your schedule allows. And each time you will find ONLINE a warm and friendly community, open to exploring together the easy and more challenging concepts.
