Power through Powerlessness: Releasing self-sabotage and reclaiming your power in recovery
With Stephen Earnhart and Andara Christina Michael
September 30 - October 2, 2022
Self-knowledge and intellectualization can only take us so far. At this retreat, we’re offering a different pathway to deep change. Though it may sound counter-intuitive, when we surrender to our powerlessness over our self-destructive patterns, our resistance dissolves so the energy can move.
Using effective modalities such as Kundalini yoga*, sound healing, mantras, community recovery meetings*, and group session work, we release the “power” of the intellectual mind and invite deeper healing in ourselves.
This deeper healing allows us to become:
- Emotionally balanced
- Physically restored and present in our bodies
- Spiritually connected and in the flow
- Mentally strengthened and equipped to manage negative behaviors
- Empowered in our recovery from our addictions
- Loved and seen by our fellow retreat goers, having made life-long community connections
