Our retreat is hosted by the hospitable staff at Saint Dorothy's Rest in Sonoma County.  Nestled among old-growth redwoods and perched high on a hilltop above the Pacific Ocean, St. Dorothy’s is a unique and breathtaking home for Finding Fellowship.  The weekend will provide a variety of recovery related activities, meetings, workshops, speakers, hiking and naturally, lots of fellowship.
