The Wilson House offers a variety of seminars and retreats designed to enhance your recovery journey. These immersive, in-person experiences provide a unique opportunity to connect with others, explore new practices, and deepen your commitment to your recovery. Join us to nourish both the mind and spirit.
All Over Mens Group
August 28 to 30 - Men from all over are welcome for a weekend of sharing their experience, strength, and hope focused on AA’s 12 steps. Our presenter for the weekend will be Clif G. from Oklahoma City, OK. Clif has been sober since August 2001 and is an active member of the Altered Boys group.
Mens 12 Step N.A. Retreat
October 1 to 4 - Join us for a powerful 3-day retreat of recovery, reflection, and fellowship as we explore the Twelve Steps of Narcotics Anonymous. This program offers a safe and supportive space to deepen your connection to the steps, strengthen your spiritual practice, and share the journey with others walking the path of recovery. All are welcome—whether you’re new to NA or have been in recovery for years.
Relationship Matters & Emotional Sobriety
October 16 to 18 - This workshop with Dr. Berger will explore how to use our emotional disturbances to uncover unhealthy dependencies and unenforceable rules. The goal is to develop a robust understanding of what it takes to build a healthy relationship in recovery. You will leave with practical concepts you can apply with partners, family, friends, and in sponsorship—using trouble as an invitation to deepen honesty, humility, and intimacy.
Getting to Happy, Joyous & Free
October 23-25 - This weekend retreat will focus on the moment to moment practical application of Steps 10, 11 & 12 to embrace the “Three A’s” of recovery—Awareness, Acceptance, and Action. The speakers, Arisa B. From Boston, MA and Michael D. From Idaho, have traveled around the country and world to speak on their experience strength and hope. All are welcome!
The Only Requirement - Celebrating Unsung Heroes in AA History
October 30 to November 1 - This weekend retreat explores that promise of inclusion through the stories of early, and often overlooked, pioneers in AA history—including female and LGBTQ+ members whose contributions helped shape the fellowship as we know it today, even when their names and experiences were not widely acknowledged.
Learning to Listen: A Two-Way Prayer Retreat
December 11-13, 2026 - Long before the Big Book was printed, the founders of AA were practicing something simple and radical: they got quiet, and they listened. This immersive weekend retreat, led by Joe B. and Kevin H., returns to that early practice — the Oxford Group tradition of Two-Way Prayer and Quiet Time that formed the spiritual backbone of the 11th Step.
