Todd Alan and I think of TJ Woodward as the guru of addiction. TJ’s congregation became known as the Agape Bay Area in 2016. It is a 21st century movement for people who consider themselves spiritual explorers and have a divine impulse for personal and global transformation.​ Our mission is to encourage and inspire the awakening of human consciousness.

The essence of Agape is best described by its founder, Dr. Michael Bernard Beckwith: When I founded the Agape International Spiritual Center and community in 1986, we ‘visioned’ it as a movement that would take a stand for love, for peace, for being a beneficial presence on the planet.” That’s why it was named Agape, which in Greek means unconditional love. Agape’s vision is fueled by the love of the One indefinable yet unmistakable Presence whose vehicle on earth is the human heart and soul.

We are delighted to welcome TJ Woodward back for a fireside chat about his newer book, Conscious Recovery, and latest developments with his addiction retreats. www.tjwoodward.com
