Choosing Our Roots

Hello community!

Choosing Our Roots is super excited to lift up a unique community
event coming up this August!

The Q***r Alaska Fellowship of AA will be hosting the first ever, Q***r AF Recovery
Retreat! The retreat will be at Camp K on Kenai Lake, August 21st, 22nd and 23rd. This
retreat welcomes 18+ folks of all genders and identities who self describes as “in
recovery” from a drug or alcohol. While this is a q***r retreat that aims to help
LGBTQIA2S+ folks celebrate our q***rness and support one another in our recovery
journeys, no one will be turned away, allies are welcome. There will be speakers from a
number of 12 step recovery programs and lots of fun activities! There will be crafts,
outdoor activities, a sauna and lake time with our very own lifeguard!
This event is being hosted Q***r Ideas of Fun, the only LGBTQIA2S+ AA meeting in
Anchorage. While this event is oriented around the 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous,
we are a group of q***r people that welcome all programs of recovery. Attendees do
not need to regularly attend 12 step groups to enjoy the retreat. We hope to foster an
experience in which attendees have the opportunity to connect with q***r people and
allies in recovery for the goal of mutual aid. This retreat will be charging $150 in tuition,
but some need based scholarships are available. We want all those who are interested
in attending to have the opportunity to participate, wherever possible.
