In partnership with Esphera, an organization dedicated to the regeneration of people, land, and culture through direct service, sacred activism, and storytelling, we are excited to introduce a unique pilot Art of Addiction facilitator training program. Unlike traditional recovery models, this is a program of discovery, offering an innovative perspective on addiction recovery.

What if addiction is merely the accelerated path for spiritual adventurers who want to know the whole of life and not just the upper echelons? Those who want to learn in practice and experience from the inside out. To be stripped of the pride that would separate and the superiority that would be able to judge? To get their hands dirty and feet wet in the mud of the soul?

This is a roadmap into the practice of addiction. It was written to reclaim a path long forgotten, one where darkness, chaos, and volition are restored and reintegrated. Through this course, a certain unfurling of the psyche and the body takes place. This gives us both permission and a container to let addiction and recovery do their work.

Registration is closed for in-person, BUT we are offering it online with Platform membership.
