Most people believe addiction is the thing they need to overcome

Often, addiction is the thing that has been helping them survive

Long before the substance, there may have been anxiety, loneliness, pressure, fear, shame, grief, or emotional pain that felt too difficult to carry alone

The addiction changes something

- The mind quietens
- The pressure softens
- The body experiences relief

And that relief gets remembered.
Years later, the addiction may no longer be helping in the way it once did

The suffering grows
The consequences grow

But the search is often still the same

Recovery based - Wood & Water Yoga for June

Our community June calendar is here.

The centerpiece of our entire year is happening next weekend, June 12th through 14th. We are deeply humbled to host the Guruji in Maine Retreat at the Live From Love Center in Bremen. To study with Guruji is a profound gift, and we want to ensure that financial barriers do not keep anyone from this sacred space. Because of this, we are offering sliding scale options for the retreat. If your heart is calling you to be there, please reach out so we can make it work for you.

Here is where we will be gathering to practice throughout the rest of June:

Every Friday at 9:00 AM
Roar Recovery in Skowhegan
Free, all levels!

Every Wednesday
Recovery Yoga and Meditation Keep an eye out for weekly wilderness and trail location updates with Pure Outdoors

Sunday, June 7th and June 21st at 10:00 AM
Outdoor Yoga near the Solon Overlook
Offered in community partnership with Skowhegan Outdoors. This is the third summer of free yoga held out in the open air, using the beautiful Maine landscape, weather permitting

How to join us:
For questions, sliding scale details for the retreat, or to save your spot, please send a direct message here or reach out via email at [email protected].

With deep gratitude, I hope to share space with you this month.
