About Our Addiction Recovery and Life Renewal Workshops
A Journey to Authenticity and Abundance
Do you ever find yourself wondering . . .
- Why can't I escape this chronic cycle of addiction, codependency, depression, and painful, unsatisfying relationships?
- Why do feel so stagnate, "flat," and bored with my life?
- Why can't I find personal fulfillment and contentment?
- Why do I keep making the same poor decisions over and over?
- I have felt joy and spontaneity at times; why can't I find that again?
- Why do I keep sabotaging my own happiness?
- Who is living my life anyway?
What is Life Renewal?
Life Renewal is an awakening. It is a journey to freedom and fulfillment via addiction recovery. It's about looking back so as to move forward in an entirely new way. Life Renewal involves a re-examination of the past, a redefinition of self, and a rebirth of empowerment and passionate self-advocacy.
Life Renewal is designed for women who find themselves stuck in the past, trapped in emotional conflicts and past wounding, dissatisfied by life, lacking joy and spontaneity, and engaged in chronic dysfunctional living. It is for those struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship and intimacy problems, addiction and relapse. It is for those wanting dearly to be set free, to live in the present, and to fully thrive at last.
Life Renewal is a journey home - a journey to authenticity and abundance. We all exist as mind, body, spirit and emotions. Genuine transformation becomes possible as we move from acknowledging adult dysfunction, to identifying and breaking free from its sources, to at last addressing the whole person in recovery.
Using an integrative therapeutic approach that includes psycho-educational presentations and cognitive behavioral, experiential, and family systems therapies workshop participants identify, reframe, and work toward resolution of family-of-origin issues, unresolved trauma, and the emotions accompanying painful past events. At the heart of the process is the pursuit of liberation, restoration and renewed hope for the future. This five-day workshop, designed and facilitated by women, for women, is offered monthly in picturesque Pagosa Springs, Colorado at Tapestry Lodge.
