A Recovery Retreat at the Jesuit Retreat House is a time to come to a place of peace to nurture your serenity, experience a re-awakening, and find the strength to work the steps of recovery. You will spend the weekend with our God of compassion in the company of women who are also on the journey of recovery.
This retreat will use 12-step wisdom alongside reflections from Henri Nouwen’s book The Return of the Prodigal Son to explore the gift and ongoing grace of Sobriety.
