- May 1, 2 & 3, 2009
- "Fellowship of the Spirit West" is a gathering of men and women who come together to celebrate their recovery from alcoholism and drug addiction. To show others precisely how we have recovered is the main purpose of the conference. We have found the answer to questions that suffering men and women ask themselves: "what's wrong with me?" and "What do I have to do?"
- We are members of Alcoholics Anonymous, Cocaine Anonymous, Alanon, Coanon and others that follow the 12 Step process outlined in the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous who want to make this particular conference available to all who are interested in the plan of recovery described in our book. We've met annually since 2001 to provide an opportunity for men and women from all over the world to come together to share their experience, strength and hope.
- Location & Accommodations
- Last years location worked out so well that this year the conference will be held at "Northwoods Resort & Conference Center" again. Located in the heart of the village just a few minutes from Big Bear Lake in the beautiful San Bernardino mountains. Each of the spacious guest rooms are furnished with a king or two queen beds, hand-crafted wood furniture, coffee maker, hair dryer, pay-per-view movies and data ports; many rooms have fireplaces and balconies. Room service and adjoining rooms are available. Outdoor heated pool and spa, sauna and exercise facilities are open to all guests. [Directions]
