Retreat to the Pines is a weekend retreat for members of Narcotics Anonymous and their families.
The purpose of the retreat is to share the message of recovery and all that recovery has to offer. The retreat timetable is set up so that participants have the opportunity to attend meetings and also have plenty of time to catch up with old friends and meet new ones, as well as take advantage of the range of activities accessible in and around Tuross Head.
The venue is only a few minutes walk to One Tree and other local beaches and is close to Tuross and Coila Lakes. So bring your swimmers, beach gear or fishing gear and take advantage of the sun, surf and sand.
