A RECOVERY RETREAT

Honesty & Awareness:
The Journey to Emotional and Relational Health

A retreat to show how the 12 steps can be used as a guiding framework for all areas of life- emotional, spiritual and personal transformations.

Our fellowship comes together for:✨Support and Community: Participants connect with others who understand their struggles, fostering a sense of belonging and support.✨Reflection and Growth: We like to have guided reflections, meditations, or other practices that encourage personal insight and growth related to the 12 steps.✨Education: We offer workshops and sessions that educate participants about addiction, recovery, and the 12-step framework.✨Spiritual Exploration: A central aspect of our retreat is to focus on spiritual growth, which we may emphasize through various spiritual practices.✨Focused Environment: Being in a retreat setting allows us to step away from our daily lives and distractions, enabling us to concentrate fully on our recovery journey.✨Skill Development: Participants learn coping skills, relapse prevention strategies, and techniques for building a more fulfilling life in recovery.
