This year is the 10th anniversary of Refuge Recovery! At this year's annual conference, we will gather in the Santa Cruz CA mountains. The schedule will be a mixture of refuge meetings, meditations, discussion (a little business) and activities. We will dine together, meditate together, and have some fun together. It is our yearly chance to gather with the greater community and connect to deepen our experience of recovery in our growing sangha.

Please join us for the weekend at the annual celebration of our program. On Saturday night we will have a private screening of a 20-30 minute version of the Getting Free film, a feature documentary about Refuge Recovery.

Be ready to hike, swim, meditate, karaoke and chill by the campfire.
