Legacy of John R. 1913-1993

Our 12 step retreats began for Alcoholics Anonymous & Al-Anon in 1972, founded by Mae and John  Ratner, pioneers of the recovery retreat movement. John felt that combining AA/Al-Anons would help recovering families transistion through recovery. The Ratner Fellowship grew from these retreats over the last 39 years. 

 The retreats continue today with focus on the 12 steps through talks by retreat leaders, group meetings and one-on-one exchanges.  The sharing of experience, strength and hope is a universal language. 

All members of 12-step programs are welcome.
