Join us for this weekend retreat to embrace a holistic approach to addiction recovery and connect with others who know what it is to have had addiction and share their experience, strenght and hope of recovery from it.
Whether you want to get sober or already are this retreat is to bring us together to explore spiritual ways of keeping us well and bring us together in a beautiful space to share whats going on for us.
This is open to those who have experienced addiction with alcohol, gambling, work, relationships, underearning, debt, substances, loneliness, isolation, codependency, porn, sex, Information Technology, exercise, food and any others you can think of.
The purpose of this retreat is to create a safe space for healing, sharing, connecting, understanding and to create community and immerse ourselves in nature and the elements. We will also be working from a bell tent with a warm fire.
This is not a detox or addiction recovery program.
There is nothing quite like being sat around a fire out in the great outdoors, in community sharing our truths with others who get us because they just get us.
There are just so many amazing offerings here and a unique aspect of this retreat is the merging of recovery principles with spiritual practices such as sacred ceremony and ancient, tribal practices like shamanic drumming which has been found to reduce stress, calm the nervous system and take us into a meditative state.
The whole basis of Down To Earth Rrecovery is to create a recovery community out in this Woodland where you get to explore which ways work for you.
We will work through recovery principles, workshops on Self Enquiry, Sound Healing with crystal bowls and the gong, Sacred Plant Medicine Cacao Ceremony and Kirtan, Shamanic Drumming, creative spaces and alone time. There will be daily meditation sessions, spiritual practices such as mindful walking and if you dont want to take part in any of these things you dont have to either.
