If you find yourself feeling frustrated with the struggle of getting clients who struggle with substance abuse issues and process addictions to move from precontemplation to action, perhaps you need a vision of what long term recovery is like. You need "Embodied Recovery: A Roadmap For Thriving Across The Lifetime." This workshop, co-led by Jen Salimbene, Ruth Riddick and myself walks you through the stages of recovery to help you gain an embodied understanding of what long term recovery might be like so that you can plant hope in your clients that long term recovery is not only possible but amazingly fulfilling.

People who came to our last workshop said:

“A deeply moving and informative experience.”

“The integration of recovery work and psychodrama was powerful and deepened my understanding of the nuanced dimensions of healing.“

“The tools I learned were practical and the co-creators renewed my sense of connection to myself, my colleagues, and the work with the wonderful individuals we serve.”

The workshop will be held at Boughton Place in Highland, NY
Saturday, June 13 & Sunday, June 14, 2026 | 9am-4.30pm
