Summary

This is a panel meeting on Steps 4 and 5 held at the Fellowship of the Spirit Roundup hosted in Utah in late 2011. I really like the format they used for this meeting, the chairperson reads a bit of the book chosen by each speaker, then the speakers share on that reading in relation to their experience with the step. I just added a Womans Retreat to the event list happening late this month in Illinois, no website for this one so visit the detail link and download the flyer.
