We view recovery as a holistic practice and honor each other’s unique paths to recovery with respect. Our success is not determined by a day-count, or any other externally given measurement but by claiming agency over our individual processes. In practice, this looks like: Making small shifts and adding in healthier coping strategies over time; expanding our capacity for healing the whole of who we are; developing awareness around the trap of black-and-white thinking; and approaching setbacks as lessons, not failures.

We approach recovery not as a life sentence but as a path toward liberation. To that end, we recognize that the work of liberating ourselves is incomplete if we are not also working for the liberation of all.

We assert that nobody knows better than we do what we need to recover. While we wholeheartedly welcome people from all walks of recovery, this space resists adhering to the rules of any specific tradition or authority. We develop self-trust, and we regard ourselves with dignity.

We come together to lift our voices, stories, and authentic selves and celebrate each other through this revolutionary work. The journey of recovery is a difficult one; we affirm that joy not only walks alongside the path but is indeed its ultimate aim.

Whether you have a long-term recovery practice or are simply curious or “trying on” sobriety, you are welcome, exactly as you are. We show up to bear witness and to allow ourselves to be seen, to practice active listening, and to be generous and expansive with our minds and hearts as we carry each other through the hard parts and the victories.Item description

We are a visionary community, living into the possibility that transformation—both personal and collective—is inevitable. We stay curious about how we might shift our way of being so that we are sustained and enlivened through the long game of healing, self-discovery, and self-expression.
