Twelve Step Retreats

Wherever You Are on Your Recovery Journey, Welcome.

Stay connected with the freedom and joy of recovery at the Dan Anderson Renewal Center.

What's calling you?

Based on your Twelve Step experience and current situation, Renewal Center staff will help you determine retreats and other programming to best fit your needs.

From grief and forgiveness to meditation practices to relapse prevention, our topic-specific recovery retreats typically begin on Friday evening and end at noon on Sunday.

“This place is filled with grace. Step off the world for a while and soak it in. You'll be grateful you did."
