    COR Retreat Organization and Affiliation

    COR Retreat, Inc. is a Minnesota non-profit corporation and a tax-exempt public charity under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. COR Retreat is operated by a small staff. The daily schedule at COR Retreat is facilitated by its Program Director and faithful volunteers who seek to “pass on” a solution of hope and recovery. The registration fees paid by COR Retreat participants cover only a portion of the cost of each retreat and  ongoing administration. The balance of the expenses are funded by donations from those committed to help others overcome their food addiction.

    COR Retreat is not affiliated with the programs offered by The Retreat. However, COR Retreat is fortunate to be able to utilize the McIver Center and offer The Retreat’s award winning, and healthy, cuisine to its participants. COR Retreat is also not affiliated with and does not represent Overeater’s Anonymous, Inc. or any other recovery program.

    I have hope-and I’ve not had that in a long time. Thank you.

    Kari

    What an awesome experience. This is just the beginning of a healthy relationship with food.

    Amanda

    What an amazing gift, learning how to recover one day at a time. The impossible (recovery) became possible for me here.

    Nicole

    I came here hopeless, ready to give up on life. Today, I leave with hope.  I am ready for anything, you have helped me so much.

    Debi

    This is truly a gift. I needed help and I got it here. I have tried everything including years of 12-Step recovery work. This program is a game changer.

    Katina

    I was at the point of quietly quitting life or deciding to go all in-COR gave me the tools and understanding to go all in-and I’m so grateful.

    JoAnn

    Thank you COR for opening your doors to me and giving me the tools to fight my unhealthy obsession to sugar and food. I am so grateful.

    Stefanie

    I am so deeply grateful for this program. I have gone from thinking “I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired” to “it feels so good to feel so good!”
