Connections:
The Heart of Recovery
May 7–14, 2027 · Fall Creek Falls State Park, Tennessee
We’ve shared our stories across the miles. Now let’s share a table, a quiet morning, and the joy of being together.
Seven nights of lodging · Meals · Programming & natural connection
You already have a place in this fellowship.
Maybe you recognize a voice before you know a face. Maybe this will be your first time meeting anyone from our online meetings in person. Wherever you’re starting, there’s room to arrive just as you are.
Connections is an AA-affiliated spiritual retreat centered on the relationships that sustain recovery: connection with ourselves, with one another, with a Higher Power of our own understanding, and with the natural world. Come for honest conversation, shared meals, meditation, and time to simply be together.

A few things you may be wondering
I’ve only met people online. Will I fit in?
That first hello can feel like a big step. This retreat is an opportunity to meet the people behind the screens, with shared meals, programming, and natural connection days offering time to get acquainted. You don’t need to arrive with a group or a polished story.
Do I need to be an experienced meditator?
No experience is needed to make room for quiet reflection. Each of the four full programming days includes a meditation meeting, an AA meeting, and two program sessions.
What should I know before making travel plans?
Arrival is May 7 and departure is May 14, 2027. Full programming takes place May 8, 10, 12, and 13, with natural connection days on May 9 and 11. Contact the retreat team for check-in and checkout times, the final-day schedule, cabin assignments, and any accessibility questions before booking travel.
Can I bring my family?
The existing retreat information permits families, children, and service animals. Children under 18 may attend only when accompanied by their own parent or legal guardian, who must remain at the retreat and is responsible for supervision throughout the event. Childcare is not provided. Children are welcome at AA meetings, meditation gatherings, workshops, and group activities. To help preserve a respectful meeting environment, if a child becomes distracting or disruptive, we kindly ask their parent or guardian to accompany them outside the meeting area until they are ready to return. Each minor will need the appropriate parent/legal guardian consent documents before attendance. Existing family rates are $95 for ages 12–16, $65 for ages 6–11, and free for children under 6. The adult rate applies from age 17.
