Finding Hope Retreats 2025

Don't miss this year's
miracles!

Loving someone with a substance use disorder can bring a mix of emotions and feelings, many times putting you in a place of fear. This retreat will give you the opportunity to let go of the trauma of the past, the anxiousness of the future, and find rest in the present time with God. This will all be done in a relaxed atmosphere with keynote speakers, small group discussions, and self-care. By slowing down together we can begin to restore HOPE in God's presence no matter our circumstances.

Why did the price increase from last year?

I know we all hate hearing the word “inflation,” but food and lodging costs have increased, so we had to increase our prices as well. We keep the cost as low as possible and get sponsors to help fill the gaps in expenses. Without sponsors, attendees' costs would be doubled.

Can I get a refund?

Refunds are available up to two weeks prior to retreat. Email Darcie at Darcie@hopeisalive.net for refund.

Can I bring my children/grandchildren that are under 18? 

No. The Finding Hope retreat is for those 18 and older.

Can I bring my addicted loved one?

No. This weekend is for YOU to invest in yourself.

What if I live near the retreat cities, is there a separate cost for commuting back and forth from my house?

We believe there is great value in staying at the retreat center. It gives you the full experience and allows you to truly retreat and not worry about seeing dirty dishes, laundry, loud dogs, taking care of kids/grandkids, etc. At this time we will not be offering a separate price (though we may consider it if we fill all the lodging rooms). 

Are there scholarships available?

Yes. We have a limited amount of scholarships available. It is based on sponsorships. We do ask that you pay a $50 deposit if you receive a scholarship. It can be broken up into multiple payments. Email Amy at Amy@hopeisalive.net for more information. 

Who are the speakers at the retreats?

At all the retreats you will get the opportunity to hear from our Finding Hope Director and Finding Hope Coordinator. Each location may have guest speakers who are in the field of addiction & recovery or love someone who struggles with substances. The programming at each retreat will be similar.

How many attendees will be at each retreat?

This number will vary based on location and lodging availability.
