For those who like to start the weekend quietly, Belgravia Step 11 Meditation meets on Saturday mornings at 9am at St Peter's Church, 119 Eaton Square in Westminster. The focus is Step 11 of the Alcoholics Anonymous programme, which concerns prayer and meditation, so expect a calmer, more reflective hour than a standard discussion meeting. It is a closed meeting, meaning it is reserved for people who have a desire to stop drinking rather than for observers, and newcomers in that position are entirely welcome. The Meeting Room is on the ground floor, reached via the main gate, and is wheelchair accessible. A chit system operates, so attendance slips can be signed for court, probation or treatment purposes.
What does 'closed meeting' mean here?
It does not mean the doors are shut. A closed AA meeting is simply reserved for people who have, or think they may have, a desire to stop drinking. If that is you, you are welcome, even at your very first meeting.
Is the room accessible for wheelchair users?
Yes. The meeting takes place in the ground floor Meeting Room at St Peter's Church, entered via the main gate at 119 Eaton Square, and is listed as wheelchair accessible.
Can attendance be evidenced for court or treatment?
Yes. This group runs a chit system, so a member can sign a slip confirming you attended, which you can use for court, probation or a treatment programme. It is free and no booking is needed.
