These services aim to empower individuals, promote healing and recovery, and foster a community that supports the transition towards a self-sufficient and fulfilling life.
Recovery Meetings
Beginning 9/25/24, every Wednesday at 6:00 PM at The Lavender Ranch
Inclusive Environment
All Recovery Meetings offer a welcoming space that honors all pathways to recovery, acknowledging that each person’s journey is unique. Attendees from any recovery background, whether it’s 12-step programs, holistic approaches, therapy-based recoveries, or any other method, are welcomed and respected.
Group-Led Structure
Each meeting is group-led, meaning there are no formal leaders or facilitators. This structure empowers attendees to take turns sharing their experiences, strengths, and hopes with the group. This peer-led approach fosters a sense of equality and shared responsibility among participants.
Open Discussion
Meetings typically involve open discussions where participants are encouraged to share according to their comfort level. There is no pressure to speak; attendees can also benefit from simply listening to others. Discussions can range from challenges and successes in recovery to practical advice and emotional support.
Supportive Community
The meetings aim to cultivate a supportive community atmosphere where individuals can find mutual understanding and encouragement. It’s a place to connect with others who are facing similar struggles and triumphs, providing a network of support that can be crucial in maintaining recovery.
Confidentiality and Respect
Confidentiality is paramount in All Recovery Meetings. What is shared in the meetings stays in the meetings, creating a safe environment for all participants to express themselves openly without fear of judgment or repercussions.
Empowerment and Growth
By participating in these meetings, individuals are given a platform to voice their experiences and learn from others. This not only helps in personal growth and recovery resilience but also enhances the collective wisdom of the group.
All Recovery Meetings are free to attend and do not require any membership or prior registration, making them easily accessible to all individuals seeking support in their recovery journey.
