Brighton Step 11 Prayer & Meditation is a quieter kind of AA meeting, centred on the step that deals with prayer and meditation. It takes place on Monday evenings from 6pm at St Lukes, 64 Old Shoreham Road in Brighton, lasts an hour and a quarter, and the venue is wheelchair accessible. Expect some silence, some reflection and gentler sharing than at a standard discussion meeting; many members use it to steady the start of their week. It is an open meeting, so you are welcome whether you want to stop drinking yourself or are interested for someone else's sake, and no experience of meditation is needed whatsoever. There is nothing to pay and nothing to arrange in advance.
I have never meditated. Will I be out of place?
Not at all. No experience is expected and nobody is tested. The meeting simply gives space for quiet and reflection alongside ordinary AA sharing.
Is this meeting open to everyone?
Yes. It is an open meeting, so family, friends and professionals may attend as well as people who want to stop drinking. You can sit and listen without speaking.
Is the venue accessible and is there a cost?
St Lukes at 64 Old Shoreham Road (BN1 5DD) is listed as wheelchair accessible, and the meeting is free with no booking required.
