Join those on the recovery path as we learn about, share, discuss and practice tools from yoga and Ayurvedic medicine. These are proving to be the most sought-after, long-term solutions to sustainable emotional sobriety.
Learn from renowned presenters about pioneering systems of care to meet the needs of people in recovery today. Discover the healing power of collaborative care in a global community that is guided by ancient spiritual wisdom systems. Gain holistic knowledge and practical advice for natural and safe solutions for the path of recovery.
Topics covered include integrated engagement for long term recovery, living our values, the power of communication, taking responsibility, and serving others.
