Brothers in Recovery (BIR) is a 38-year old mutual-aid organization specializing in the support of long-term recovery. We are a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization with headquarters in West Harlem, composed of Black and Latino men who are active members of their community. Our organization continues to expand, working toward a nationally recognized peer-recovery model and long-term recovery support system.

ANNUAL SPIRITUAL RETREAT

Since 1988, the foundation of Brothers in Recovery has been a 3-day spiritual retreat toward the end of each June. Retreats have traditionally been held in upstate New York, but converted to a Zoom platform in 2021, given COVID-19 safety considerations. We look forward to continuing in-person retreats at Sandy Cove Retreat Center this year.

*While BIR is an inclusive organization throughout the many of our events and activities, BIR spiritual retreats are typically reserved for men to come together in brotherhood. We remain in active discussion about increasing the inclusivity of our offerings in the near future.
