September 10–12, 2027 · Lake Junaluska, NC
HYDE & SEEK
A three-day spiritual retreat for men in recovery. Quiet water, honest fellowship, and the slow work of being found.
01 — The Retreat
A weekend for men who are doing the work — and who know they can't do it alone.
Fellowship
Small-group conversation in historic Lake Junaluska. No performance, no platitudes — just men telling the truth to other men.
Story
Long-form talks from Bob D. and Don L. on the spiritual experience that sustains long-term sobriety.
Surrender
Solitude on the lake, guided meditation, and unhurried time in the Smokies. Room for whatever needs to surface.
02 — The Weekend
Three days. One lake. Enough silence to hear yourself again.
Friday · Sept 10

03 — The Speakers
Two men. A combined seventy years of sobriety. One story they're still telling.
Bob D.
Featured Speaker
Sober since 1985. A quiet voice on the spiritual program, the role of service, and what it means to stay green decades into the journey.
Don L.
Featured Speaker
Forty years in the fellowship and a lifetime of working with newcomers. Plainspoken, warm, and unafraid of the hard parts.
