What / Where / Why / When / How Much

Join us for three days of serenity, spirituality, fun and fellowship at an OA retreat at Christmount Retreat Center (222 Fern Way, Black Mountain, North Carolina) on September 19th-21st, 2025. Hosted by the Piedmont Intergroup (serving the greater Charlotte area in the Carolinas and Western North Carolina), our purpose in coming together is to strengthen your recovery. Our theme of “Unity with Diversity” will focus on Steps 10, 11, 12!

Workshops will discuss differing approaches to Prayer, Meditation, and Personal inventory as we hear from long-time recovery OA speakers and share our own experience, strength and hope. Now picture this all in a beautiful mountain setting near Asheville, North Carolina.

Arrive at the retreat Friday, September 19th anytime after 3 PM, and unwind before dinner. Have a wonderful stay until noon on Sunday, September 21st. Savor five delicious and abstinent meals and comfortable motel style rooms. Proposed Menu Costs vary depending on room and meal selections but range from $296 – $416 for the entire weekend event.
