General Information
Recovery in OA is a journey from the confining prison
of our compulsive eating behaviors to the ultimate
freedom from our obsessions. Join us at the summer
retreat as we all go through the 12 steps of the
program. Together, we will support one another through
the process as we STEP INTO RECOVERY.
On arrival Friday night, we will have a brief orientation
with an overview of the retreat weekend.
The balance of the weekend is dedicated to our
program including free time to enjoy outdoor activities
(e.g., hikes), indoor activities (e.g., guided meditation),
a Saturday night talent show or simply to sit and chat
by the fireside in an intimate, relaxed, country setting,
getting to know one another. Strong bonds are forged
at Metro Intergroup retreats.
All OA members are welcome! Newcomers to OA
frequently find that by being surrounded by others in
the fellowship round-the-clock, they feel safe and come
to understand program in an accelerated fashion.
Those who had been struggling have said that
attending a retreat was the turning point in their
becoming abstinent. Longtimers find that retreats give
their program a welcome refresher.
Registration must be paid in full and is nonrefundable.
If for any reason you cannot attend, you are
welcome to find someone to take your place. Metro
Intergroup will maintain a waiting list; however, it is your
sole responsibility to find your own replacement and
secure payment. For those who pay by personal check,
you are considered registered only when your check
has cleared. Bounced checks will incur a $35 service
fee.
To provide a relaxed environment for all, we observe
a phone and PDA free atmosphere from the time we
board the bus on Friday until we disembark on Sunday.
By coming on this retreat, you agree to refrain from
using any communication devices—voice or text—in
the presence of others. If you cannot abide by this
policy, this is not the retreat for you.
Because of the intense and intimate nature of the
recovery work done on retreats, we cannot
accommodate day-trippers.
