Our Retreats
Freedom is Waiting
How soon do you want to get well?
A Came To Believe Recovery UK retreat kick-starts recovery by offering the chance to go through the Steps that have worked for hundreds of thousands of us since they were first described over 80 years ago
Your recovery begins when you decide that you want change, and want to take action to live a life thriving and free from the suffering brought on by addiction. Our three-day residential retreat gives you an immersive opportunity to achieve spiritual growth and get the tools that lead to hope and freedom.
How do we help you recover?
In-person retreats are run in a residential style to allow you to immerse yourself away from the stress and distractions of life. During the day, we run group sessions led by trained and vetted volunteers. These are followed with group meals and evening activities, including music, allowing you to make meaningful connections with like-minded people. We will give you paper copies of the materials to complement the sessions and include materials to take away to allow you to continue the work, as well as details of weekly online meetings.
Weekly online meetings are free and open to anyone to attend, shaped by those attending each week to support you best by meeting you where you are in your recovery.
It is important to remember that spiritual support complements, not replaces, professional medical or counselling services. We strongly recommend you continue to pursue any other avenues of support you are currently using.
What will it cost?
We understand that life can be challenging financially, particularly for those navigating addiction recovery. That’s why we ensure our retreats are offered at cost price. Your payment goes directly towards covering accommodation, meals, and materials. All of our speakers and leaders generously volunteer their time, allowing us to keep expenses as low as possible while still providing a supportive and transformative experience. If you need financial support, please reach out to our team to discuss the options available to you.
