Learn the tools for a successful alcohol-free life. Laugh, connect with others and start creating the next chapter of your life.

Accommodations are simple, modern, sleek, and cozy. Open a window, and you’ll sleep to the soundtrack of nature and crickets! Beds come with linens, a blanket, and a pillow.

Ladies – The large cabin is dedicated to females, and each room (8 total) consists of 6 bunk beds with a queen bed in the middle for luggage and storage. Note*** – Due to Covid, we will only be placing 6 females in the rooms instead of 8. Each room has 1 shower and 1 separate bathroom.

Men – “I call top bunk”! There are 4 rooms with 10 bunks but we are only selling 7 beds per cabin due to COVID.  There are bathrooms and showers inside the rooms.

Camping – Campers are given a 10′ x 10′ camping space on a large grass lawn. Campers have access to bathrooms and showers within walking distance. Please bring a headlamp. We do not rent camping supplies so please bring your own camping gear.

There are several ways to meet us for check-in and the Dusty Saloon social from 3:00 PM – 6:00 PM Wednesday, August 9th.

First off, here’s the address.
Yellowstone Alliance Adventure
13707 Cottonwood Canyon Rd
Bozeman, MT 59718

You can take an Uber or Lyft from the Bozeman International Airport, which should take 35-45 minutes. If you plan on arriving a day or two early or want to explore Montana after the retreat, then renting a car is a great option.

If you’d like to share an uber or coordinate a ride with someone else, please email kmac@recoveryelevator.com. We can’t guarantee we’ll find you a riding partner, but we’ll do our best!

If you’re driving on your own, there is parking at the retreat facility.

Each meal contains meat and a vegetarian option. 

There is a $75 per person fee for gluten-free and vegan options. We will send out a google form requesting this information about 4 weeks before the retreat start date.

No, not at all. This is a non 12 step based alcohol-free retreat that pulls resources and tools from all different kinds of programs. There may be references to 12 step programs, but Recovery Elevator is in no way affiliated with any programs. At past Bozeman retreats, during free time, there have been pop up A.A. meetings which we think is great 👍

This retreat can be as spiritual as you’d like. We will have a specific workshop and talks guided towards spirituality, and will purposefully place you in situations where you can connect with spirit. Much of this work is done with the breath. You may hear an occasional reference to GOD but this isn’t a religious retreat.

Pack for warm days, cool nights and clothes for light to moderate outdoor activity. We will be doing some hiking (optional) (walking shoes are fine) and visiting a lake.  Please bring these specific items: Water bottle, sunscreen, swimsuit, towel, bug spray, a notebook or journal, eyemask (for breathwork), and headlamp. If you’re camping, please prepare for colder nights and the possibility of rain.

We’re currently working on the 2024 workshops, speakers, and activities. The itinerary will be updated as the event gets nearer.

At past retreats, we’ve done the following. You may see some of the same at this event: sunrise yoga, Brain Spotting (trauma workshop), Somatics Therapy (releasing stored energy), group meditations, spirituality talks, walks in nature with goats, campfire sing-along songs, using alternative narratives to depart from your story, AF Olympics, scavenger hunts, AF Nutrition 101, Healthy Routines, creating healthy schedules, group shares (individuals share their stories to small groups), open mic night, karaoke, silent disco, dance party, and so much more.

Check-in and the Dusty Saloon social are from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM on Wednesday, August 14th. Please book flights so you can arrive at the event on Wednesday during these times. If you land in the Yellowstone International airport before 4:30 PM, you should have no problem making it there before 6 PM. Please let us know if your flight arrives later so we can be expecting you.

We recommend booking a departure flight after 12:30 pm on Sunday, August 18th. The retreat will close out at 10:00 AM on Sunday, and you should be able to make it to the airport by 11:00 AM.

Some people have to leave early Sunday morning which is okay, but please do your best to stay for the closing ceremony.

If you need to arrive a day early or stay an extra day, here are some hotels we recommend.

Yes, these activities are a blast, but are not part of the itinerary. The schedule is full of workshops geared towards learning how to lead a successful life in recovery but we will be doing some hiking and exploring. We highly recommend you add a couple of days to your trip to experience all the Big Sky Country has to offer.

We ask that all attendees have at least 30 days from their last drink. However, we understand that “life happens” and you shouldn’t cancel. We do require that all withdrawal symptoms have passed before attending this retreat as there aren’t trained medical professionals on staff to assist with the detoxification process of alcohol.

This specific retreat is geared towards those who are actively working on quitting drinking and spouses or significant others are not invited to attend. Your spouse will be awaiting a new you upon return!

We won’t be scaling Denali, but we will do a couple shorter hikes, perhaps some lawn games and some other old school summer camp games. No need to purchase hiking boots or trekking poles for this retreat. All hikes are optional and there are activities planned for those who don’t want to hike.

All workshops are optional, however, we highly recommend you attend as many as possible.

In order for you to get the full benefit of the Recovery Elevator retreat, we require all attendees to stay at the retreat facility.
