About the Retreats
Bringing Our Sobriety to New Heights
An annual gathering for men in recovery — a chance to step back from daily life, share fellowship, and reconnect with the simplicity of a life rebuilt on sobriety.
Recovery
A retreat rooted in the Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, with talks, meditation, and meetings that meet you wherever you are in your sobriety.
Fellowship
Whether you show up alone or with friends, you’ll leave with a wider circle. Shared meals, late-night conversations around the fire, and the kind of connection that only happens away from the noise.
Reflection
Time and space to slow down, take stock, and listen — deepen your connection with your higher power.
Two retreats a year
Summer · One Day
A Day Retreat in Covina
One Saturday in late July — morning to late afternoon — at Sonrise Christian School. A full day of talks, meditation, fellowship, shared meals and snacks. Approachable, affordable, and a great first retreat for anyone who’s never been before.
Materials, breakfast, lunch, and coffee included. Sonrise Christian School, 1220 E. Ruddock, Covina, CA.
November · Three Days
A Weekend at Mount Kare
The first full weekend of November at Mount Kare in Wrightwood, high in the San Gabriel Mountains. Cabin lodging, three meals a day, and three days away from everything.
The pace is unhurried: talks, breakout sessions, free time for hiking or napping or chasing a quieter conversation, meetings, and fellowship.
Lodging and meals included. Bring your own bedding and an open heart.

“To watch people recover, to see them help others, to watch loneliness vanish, to see a fellowship grow up about you, to have a host of friends.”
— Alcoholics Anonymous, Chapter 7
Who’s it for?
Any man in recovery — newcomer or old-timer, twenty years sober or twenty days. You don’t need to know anyone in advance, and you don’t need to have anything figured out. You’ll go home with a wider circle — brothers in recovery and friends for a lifetime.
What about cost?
The retreats are run entirely by volunteers, and registration covers lodging, meals, and materials at as close to cost as we can keep it. A small deposit holds your spot. If money is the only thing standing between you and a spot, call or text Steve N. or Dave D. — we don’t want cost to be a barrier.
