In partnership with the Ignatian Spirituality Project, join us for a restorative weekend retreat designed specifically for men in recovery. This is a spiritual, non-religious space for anyone looking to explore personal growth, reflection, and deeper connection in their recovery journey. Whether you are curious about spirituality or looking to deepen your existing practice, all are welcome.

Join us for a fall hike through Mt. Airy Forest as we take it one step at a time to share, reflect, and support each other in recovery!

Join us for a memorable evening of fellowship and gratitude as The Ridge Alumni proudly sponsors three tables at this year’s Cincinnati Intergroup AA Annual Gratitude Banquet! Guests will enjoy a delicious Thanksgiving dinner alongside great company, followed by an inspiring AA speaker to celebrate recovery and community. Tickets for our sponsored seats are limited and will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis, so reserve your spot early to share in this special tradition with fellow alumni and friends.

Celebrate the holiday season with food, fellowship, and festive fun at our White Elephant Holiday Party! Bring a wrapped gift worth $25 or less—whether it’s a funny gag item, a creative mystery present, or a crowd-pleasing treat—to participate in our lively gift exchange. We’ll also have plenty of opportunities to capture memories with holiday photos throughout the event, so come wearing your favorite festive attire or ugly Christmas sweater and prepare for an evening full of laughter and community.

Get ready to carve up the mountainside with your fellow Ridge alumni for an epic day at Perfect North Slopes! Whether you’re a pro on the black diamonds or a total beginner, this trip is all about hitting the fresh powder and enjoying the great outdoors together. Please note that everyone is responsible for their own gear and access; you’ll need to bring your own equipment and passes, or be prepared to rent gear and purchase a lift ticket upon arrival. If it’s your first time on the snow, don’t sweat it—meet us at the bunny hill at 5p for a quick introductory lesson to get your bearings before you explore the runs at your own pace.

Whether you’re a seasoned pickleball pro or have never even held a paddle, there’s something for everyone! We’ll have courts reserved for all skill levels, so come ready to play, learn, or just cheer on your fellow alumni. This is a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with other alumni, meet new friends, and enjoy a day with your loved ones.
