- Eat, Sleep, Retreat, Repeat
Who are we?
We are recovering addicts.
We’re coming together in the countryside to promote wellness of body, mind, and spirit, and to heal collectively. We are building a community primarily for LGBTQ fellows but not exclusively - all are welcome.
We seek to end substance-abuse-related isolation and foster individual growth among our members and our fellowship. We’ll do this through workshops, speaker meetings, social gatherings, fitness, wellness activities and shared meals.
We are the Pride & Progress Retreat.
Join us 23rd - 25th July 2027.
What is the Pride & Progress Retreat?
-
Experience a warm, welcoming retreat in Norfolk, England—created for LGBTQ people seeking spiritual growth and recovery from substance use.
Pride & Progress Retreat is a Narcotics Anonymous gathering for meaningful connection and restorative practices to support recovery, abstinence from using, and healing.
All are welcome to rest, reflect and renew in our safe, welcoming environment.
-
Strengthen your recovery and spirituality with Narcotics Anonymous 12-step workshops, speaker meetings, wellness and group activities, shared meals and fellowship.
Use this opportunity to add practical tools for staying clean, all while relaxing in a supportive space that helps you create new friendships and strengthen old ones.
-
Open your mind and invigorate your spirit as you unwind surrounded by the scenic Norfolk countryside. The retreat offers a safe and drug free space where you can pursue personal development, learning, and connection.
-
Retreat registration tickets include lodging, all meals, bus transfer from London, and access to all our weekend program of workshops, meetings, and activities.
We are not currently able to offer any bursary or scholarship places for the retreat, though this may change as we gather funds, donations and tradition seven; donations to support such places are welcomed.
Our home - West Lexham, Norfolk
Why have we made West Lexham our home?
Simple: It is idyllic. Set in the heart of Norfolk, it brings the best of all things English countryside together in a truly calm and spiritual place. Secluded and charming,
West Lexham is a former working farm estate and manor house. It has wild-water swimming, a boating lake, a swimming pool, campfires, a farm-to-fork garden café and accommodation in converted farmhouses, treehouses, cabins, and bell tents.
An eco-friendly paradise, it is run on over 90% renewable energy in a pocket of Norfolk bursting with wildlife. Guided by holistic living, inspired by nature, informed through personal development and devoted to community, a rural idyll that explores the best ways of living, working, being.
“There is something very special about West Lexham. From the moment you set foot on the grounds, you feel a sense of peace. It has a way of transporting you far away from every day life.”
