Monday evenings at Keston Parish Church bring a quieter offering: a one-hour Alcoholics Anonymous meditation meeting starting at 6pm. Expect stillness, reflection and unhurried sharing rather than a packed discussion; meetings like this lean on Step 11's practice of prayer and meditation to steady the week ahead. It is a closed meeting, reserved for people who have a desire to stop drinking, which includes anyone privately worried and not yet decided; it is not open to observers. Wheelchair access has not been confirmed for this meeting. The church on Church Road also hosts open meetings on Wednesdays and Saturdays for those wanting to bring family or friends. Attendance is free and no booking is needed.
Can I attend if I have never done Step 11 or meditated?
Yes. No experience is needed and nothing is tested. If you have a desire to stop drinking, however new, this closed meeting is open to you.
Why is the meeting closed?
Closed meetings are kept for people dealing with their own drinking so everyone can share freely. Family and friends can attend the open meetings at the same church on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
Is there a cost or booking system?
No. Like all AA meetings it is free. Arrive at Keston Parish Church, Church Road (BR2 6HT), shortly before 6pm on Monday.
