Purpose:

Through a holistic approach integrating the elements of mind, body and spirit, the Holistic Recovery Project offers opportunities for positive transformation for individuals and their communities.

"If you're alone, you're toast. But if you have a tribe, you're golden."

Community.

Similar to the individual elements of a person, are elements of community. One of our first constructs was the idea of the Circle, a small group of people with a variety of issues, coming together on the common ground of healthy transformation. The circle is merely an artificial reconstruction of somthing which worked so well for us when we were younger, a group of friends getting together, bringing different resources to the whole, all for a common goal. A Circle is a tribe, a safe place where you watch each others backs, validate and challenge and reflect for one another. There, of course, will always be inner conflict, but this will always pale when conflict comes from outside of your personal circle. If you're alone, you're missing out. If you have a tribe, you're golden. Swear.

"We aren't human beings seeking a spiritual experience; we're spiritual beings having a human experience."

Mind, body, spirit.

We promote transformation by education, by physical fitness, by spirituality individually defined. But we also believe and appreciate the many other elements which can comprise a persons transformation plan, everything from therapy, meditation, traditional twelve-step groups, religion, music, meditiation, dancing.. the list is as endless as the possibilities which smile behind the eyes of every newborn.

"If I will it, it is no dream."

Mission.

Nothing banishes the illusion of isolation more than a mission, somthing greater than the individuals situation, doubts and dispair. Believe in yourself. Not only as a worthy individual, but as an important element of somthing grand. Believe.
