12 Step Retreats
Newcomers, oldtimers and in-between are welcome to come experience spiritual liberation, perhaps a spiritual experience among the trees. "Leave your troubles at the bottom of the hill" and enjoy the 67 mountain acres with hiking trails, streams, a duck pond surrounded by benches for meditation and quiet reflection.
The retreat begins on Friday at 6pm with dinner. You are welcome to arrive anytime after 3pm to check in and enjoy the grounds. The accomodations are in a historic adobe building (originally the "Montazuma School For Boys" circa 1910). Most rooms are semi-private and bathrooms are dormatory style. There are a few single rooms available (first come first served).No guarantee can be given on single room, so additional charge of $25 is payable at retreat. IF the retreat attendees exceeds 60 AND if Presentation Center has not already booked them there are cabins available for overflow. This is a good reason to register early and spread the word to attract new attendees.
Legacy of John R. 1913-1993
Our 12 step retreats began for AA & Al-Anon in 1972, founded by Mae and John Ratner, pioneers of the retreat movement. John felt that combining AA/Al-Anons would help recovering families transistions through recovery. They continue today with focus on the 12 steps through talks by retreat leaders, along with AA and Al-Anon meetings throughout the weekend. The sharing of experience, strength and hope is a universal language. All members of 12-step programs are welcome.
