And stay tuned for a unique and wonder-packed Night Sky/Astronomy Night. You’ll find something for everyone on our lively 2026 calendar!

We invite you to join us for this fresh, new perspective to jumpstart the wellness journey. Come experience recovery in a healthy, fun, like-minded community!
Throughout all of our events, there are community-building games, experiences, and invitations that are welcoming, inclusive, and that bring about a shared sense that it’s ok - and even good - to be human.
