Recovery Retreat for Men
Our Matt Talbot Retreats are held on designated weekends and devote time for spirituality in recovery from alcoholism. Our retreats bring together a group of recovering alcoholics in a setting that promotes fellowship and sharing throughout the weekend.
Most retreats focus on one broad topic for the weekend. Our retreat-masters are usually both recovering alcoholics and members of the clergy, which brings valuable insight into the spiritual realm of alcoholism.
As a group of recovering alcoholics, we recognized the need for a connection with a power greater than ourselves. Our solution is to use the Matt Talbot spiritual retreat weekend to find how to utilize the tools suggested in the Twelve Steps. Our retreats offer conferences, discussion group break-out sessions, discussion & speaker meetings, one-on-ones, and the Celebration of the Eucharist. The Matt Talbot Retreats are non-denominational, ecumenical, and are spiritual, rather than specifically religious. All faiths are welcome.
