The Annual Now You Understand Group Retreat
For nearly 20 years, the Now You Understand Group of Alcoholics Anonymous has conducted a three-day retreat at the birthplace of Bill Wilson in East Dorset, Vermont. This annual event, open to all identifying as male and non-binary, regardless of sobriety time, focuses on fun, fellowship, and Steps One, Two, and Three.
Our 2025 retreat will take place April 30 - May 2
We gather early Wednesday morning in the West Village, in New York City (near coffee shops) and will caravan to East Dorset, Vermont, stopping for lunch in Massachusetts. There are plenty of activities and plenty of down time. Whether you have days of sobriety or decades, it is tremendous experience. Many past participants speak fondly of the retreat, and consider it game-changing to their sober journey.
