About this meeting
Colchester Feelings meets every Thursday at 1pm at Duchy Barn in Dedham, and runs for about an hour. It's an open AA meeting, so family, friends, and anyone with an interest in the fellowship are welcome alongside those with a desire to stop drinking. As the name suggests, the discussion tends to focus on feelings and emotional experience rather than working through a particular text. To find the venue, walk behind the monument into the park, and Duchy Barn is on the right-hand side after about 20 seconds. The venue is wheelchair accessible. There is no cost to attend and no booking required, so anyone can simply arrive shortly before 1pm on a Thursday.
