Our Mission - Connect, Communicate, and Thrive
Our goal is to start the uncomfortable conversations that turn complacency into action, and despair into real hope. We challenge discouragement by offering tools, information, experience, and inspiration. As we walk the road of life, we are actively seeking the stragglers and the entangled who are struggling with false beliefs about their identity, their purpose, and their potential. We are people that have been in that spot, sure we were hopeless when we were, in fact, helpless. We found our way up and out, and we believe that you can too.
We want you to CONNECT.
Next, as you join us and begin to experience fellowship, we hope to encourage and empower you. Sometimes, finding authenticity is difficult because we have shouldered our fears alone for so long. Taking the time to become comfortable is imperative if we are to learn to trust others with our Truth. When the day that you are ready to share arrives, we will celebrate with you. We want you to COMMUNICATE.
Finally, we will invite you open your mind and your heart to the tools that have helped us believe that everything is going to be alright. In our effort to discard egoic stances that impede our wellbeing, we seek to open our minds and our hearts to God and to others as we become all that we were created to be. We will seek wholeness in body, soul, and spirit.
We want you to THRIVE.
What We Do
We believe that happiness is the result of right living, so we aim at figuring out how to live right. It sounds simple, but we've found that it's a one day at a time adventure into employing mindful choices. Relationship work is always needed, and we strive to make progress in our interactions with God, with others, and with our True Selves. We were made on purpose and with purpose, and BethWe offers different opportunities to grow in humility and strength.
Workshops
The BethWe team endeavors to teach four workshops annually to bring seekers together for hands-on learning. These workshops are generally hosted at Freedom Church in Vero Beach, and topics selected are aimed to increase choices and understanding so that participants can move from awareness to action. Lunch is included, and there is no fee for attendance. We do pass a basket for a love offering to offset costs, but NEVER let financial strain keep you from being part of the learning.
Podcasts
An easy way to "listen" to the solution-based ideas offered by the BethWe group is to tune into our podcasts. We realize that many of us are busy, so the podcasts can be as short as five minutes or as long as an hour. We encourage replay for the topics that seem to speak to a stumbling spot in your life. The podcasts are easiest to access right here on our website, but they are also available wherever podcasts are "told". BethWe podcasts are dubbed GOOD SEED PODCAST if you're looking for them on Spotify, Amazon, etc.
Weekly Blog
Every Sunday afternoon all subscribers receive the Weekly Thought, a short blog designed to make us think about forward movement in our spiritual, emotional, and physical lives. We never share email addresses with anyone as we value your anonymity. If you would like to sign up to receive these blogs, send an email to Beth@BethWe.com. We'll get you on the list!
Social Media Posts
Designed to sneak up and encourage followers, Beth posts thoughts, inspiration, and 12-step recovery encouragement on Facebook and Instagram. Sometimes, all we need to change our mindset is a quick quip that reminds us to connect or communicate so we can thrive.
Magazine Articles
BethWe has an monthly article in a regional magazine called Vero's Voice that brings ideas for living well to readers. If you are interested, go to their website at verosvoice.com and hit the contact page to sign up for a digital copy. Print versions are also available at merchants along the Treasure Coast of Florida.
Annual Retreat
Usually slated in the spring, BethWe takes over a conference room at the beautiful San Pedro Spiritual Development Center in Winter Park, FL. The weekend starts with casual supper and opening teaching on Friday evening. Saturday is a full day of teaching, labyrinth, gardens, and chapel. Sunday morning ties up the teaching. 12 Step meetings are provided both days in the early morning followed by a meditation and stretch on the dock overlooking Lake Howard. Bon fire on Saturday night. Rooms are comfortable and clean. All meals are included in the price of the weekend. Sharing a room lowers the cost - single rooms run a little bit more.
Books
BethWe has printed the following books and makes them available at workshops or by request at Beth@BethWe.com. The cost mentioned is the actual cost of printing the books. BethWe derives no financial gain from book sales. The prices are as listed below.
Plateful of Grateful is an allegorical look at recreating your life as if it were a kitchen. Fun and light-hearted, this book speaks to the reader as if he is a chef who has lost his passion. Scrubbing greasy debris is likened to ridding oneself of old ideas. Emotions depicting the waitstaff that bring your creations to the world at large is another playful idea that reminds the chef of his power. Great gift for any seeker who is also a foodie at heart. $10
The BethWe journaling technique called Spiritual Heat has benefited thousands. Outlined in the printed version, Spiritual Heat walks the user through a combination of Steps 10 and 11, teaching daily self-examination combined with conscious contact with God. This journal has been reprinted six times at this writing and BethWe promises results if used for 30 continuous days. $12
g.o.d. (group of drunks) speaks is the title of a series of books, each that hold 164 simple thoughts to encourage the recovering person. Volumes one through five will delight the reader and make a perfect book for coffee table or bathroom. We offer each book individually or the entire set of five if you're looking for a wonderful gift. $10 each
BethWe put together a Study Guide for working the 12 Steps that enables the user to highlight and discuss main themes in both Alcoholics Anonymous (aka the Big Book) and the Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions (aka the 12 & 12). $11
