Connect Recovery Retreat

Connect offers an opportunity to deepen your recovery experience in one of the Caribbean’s most beautiful settings—the remote island of St John is 2/3 US National Park. This retreat brings together no more than 12 people in established recovery (2+ years) for six days of reflection, exploration, and connection at Concordia Eco Resort. Mornings are devoted to engaging workshops covering emotional sobriety, spirituality, mindfulness, and the opportunities and challenges of long-term recovery. Afternoons offer optional guided adventures, from snorkeling vibrant coral reefs to hiking spectacular coastal trails, along with time to relax and enjoy the island. The small-group setting encourages meaningful conversations, new friendships, and the sharing of experiences and perspectives that enrich our recovery journeys.

Connect grew out of my own experiences attending and organizing recovery retreats and activities, my years of working in and living in the recovery community, and my love of St. John. I wanted to create an experience that brings together the things I’ve found most valuable about retreats: thoughtful explorations of recovery, genuine human connection, and the perspectives that come from stepping outside our everyday lives. At its heart, Connect is about continuing to find growth in recovery while sharing an unforgettable experience together.
