Last Saturday, September 20, the Group LA LIBERACIÓN from Bogotá, Colombia, held a nine-hour marathon meeting—a space to share, laugh, and enjoy time together as a group.

During the event, we read several articles from the ESSAY magazine, shared food and drinks brought by the fellows (including the delicious dates brought by our Egyptian fellow). We even welcomed TWO NEWCOMERS!!!

We also held a short workshop on recovery slogans, using a tape from our beloved fellow member Luc D, recorded in 2018. We remembered how he spoke wonderful Spanish and left a mark on all our hearts!

We chose that date because on that same day, in Colombia, the Day of Love and Friendship (“Día del Amor y la Amistad”) was celebrated, like Valentine’s Day. It’s also a day to celebrate love in friendship, and people often exchange gifts, flowers, chocolates, and cards.  We have tons of fraternal love and friendship in our group, LA LIBERACIÓN!
