In 15 weeks explore the 12 Steps through the wisdom of Christian mysticism and the themes of Richard Rohr’s book, Breathing Under Water. Learn to apply Alcoholics Anonymous’ guiding principles to your own life and attachments.
Breathing Under Water is a spiritual study of the 12 Steps based on Richard Rohr’s book, Breathing Under Water. This online course explores the parallels between what Jesus taught and the freedom that can be found in recovery programs.
Richard Rohr’s 12 Steps teaching is an invitation is to let go of egoic attachments and step into freedom and wholeness. Fr. Richard often says, “We do not think ourselves into new ways of being; we live ourselves into new ways of thinking.” Students will learn how contemplative practice and spiritual wisdom can be joined with the wisdom of the 12 Steps to transform our habitual patterns of dualistic thinking.
Whether you are new to the 12 Steps or Christian mysticism — or have been on the contemplative path for years — we hope Breathing Under Water moves you to surrender more deeply to your Higher Power and to experience the peace (not of mind, but of being) that comes with such freedom.
Membership in a 12-step program is not required. Anyone can and will gain insight from this course.
