Ascend & Reconnect

Recovery-focused, immersive alpine retreats across the United States

Dynamic, Rejuvenating Experiences

A collaborative project between Recovery & Wellness Services, Reconnected Foundation & Brad Waldo Consulting, Alpine Retreat Group, our goal is to help people step outside of their comfort zone for 3 days.

Whether in lower or higher alpine regions, in sunshine or snow, on land or in the river, we pair adventure with rest. Clients can experience modalities such as yoga, sound bath, meditation, community service, and other non-clinical services that gave them hope and helped them heal during their previous experience in residential treatment or wilderness therapy.
