Our Recovery Philosophy
We Believe in Multiple Pathways
There is no 'one right way' to recover. We support and celebrate diverse approaches to healing, including 12-step programs, alternative recovery pathways, therapy, medication-assisted treatment, spiritual practices, and any combination that works for the individual. Your recovery is yours to define. for access to our database of resources and to learn more about different approaches to recovery, click here.
We Focus on Building, Not Just Stopping
Traditional approaches often focus on what you can't do. We flip the script. Recovery isn't just about stopping destructive behaviors - it's about building a life so fulfilling, so connected, so aligned with your values that you don't want to escape from it. We help you create something worth showing up for. To see our upcoming events, click here, or to volunteer, click here.
We Practice Radical Self-Honesty and Accountability
True change requires getting curious about the 'why' behind our behaviors. We support deep self-inquiry, compassionate self-examination, and radical honesty about our patterns, triggers, and needs. Recovery is an inside job, and we're here to support that inner work. For tools you can utilize in your own healing journey, click here.
We Center Community and Connection
Peer support and community are at the heart of lasting recovery. Feeling connected, accepted, and understood are essential to healing. We create safe, welcoming spaces where people can be authentic, vulnerable, and supported. Recovery doesn't happen in isolation - it happens in relationship.

Inclusivity
We embrace diverse recovery paths and individual experiences without judgment. Recovery looks different for everyone, and all paths are valid and worthy of support.
Holistic Wellness
We recognize the interconnected nature of mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual health. True recovery addresses the whole person, not just the behavior.

Accessibility
We provide free, comprehensive mental health and wellness resources to all individuals, meeting people where they are on their journey - whether that's at a music festival, treatment center, recovery house, or community event.
Empowerment
We support individuals in discovering and implementing personalized recovery strategies. We believe in people's capacity to heal, grow, and create lives they love.
Our Approach: Mindfulness Based Recovery (MBR)
Mindfulness Based Recovery (MBR) is our signature approach to healing and transformation. Through MBR meetings and practices, we:
  • Explore the deeper "why" behind addictive behaviors
  • Cultivate present-moment awareness and conscious choice
  • Practice self-compassion and non-judgment
  • Build skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance
  • Re-wire neural pathways through consistent practice
  • Create space for self-discovery and personal truth
MBR recognizes that true recovery requires addressing the root causes of addictive behavior, not just the symptoms. We help people re-cover who they truly are beneath the patterns and defenses. To join our free weekly online meetings, click here.
