Beyond Addiction Retreats
We offer compassionate, evidence-based four day retreats in the peaceful Northern Ireland countryside, creating a safe and nurturing sanctuary for deepening recovery, self-discovery, and meaningful reconnection.
Our work is designed for those already on their recovery journey who are seeking to strengthen, deepen, or stabilise their progress. Whether you feel the need for additional support, wish to reconnect with like-minded individuals, refresh your knowledge, or help safeguard against relapse, our retreats provide a space to do so with intention and care.
Combining psychotherapy, trauma-informed approaches, and somatic and holistic therapies alongside the power of community, we address both addiction and the underlying wounds that drive it. Through workshops, psychoeducational lectures, and reflective group experiences, we support lasting change within a calm, contained, and gently nurturing environment.
The addition of holistic and restorative elements alongside the structured therapeutic work offers an opportunity to step out of the demands of everyday life, helping many participants feel more grounded, re-energised, and renewed in themselves and their recovery.
We walk alongside you with understanding, expertise, and genuine care, supporting you in building resilience, deepening insight, and sustaining long-term wellbeing.
Our Mission
We are dedicated to providing a safe, supportive, and nurturing environment where people in recovery can explore their healing journey with compassion, expertise, and genuine care. Our mission is to empower individuals to break free from the patterns of addiction and discover lasting transformation.
“Recovery is not just about stopping harmful behaviors - it's about building a life so meaningful that addiction no longer has a place in it. We're here to support every step of that journey.”
Through our weekend retreats, we combine clinical excellence with holistic wellness, creating an experience that addresses the whole person - mind, body, and spirit.
Retreat Format
Our immersive residential retreats are offered across selected weekends and midweek dates, creating a fully supported and thoughtfully structured experience. With 14–20 participants per retreat, we maintain a small, well-contained group environment that allows for personalised attention alongside meaningful connection with others in recovery.
