Chakra Clearing with Cindy Waite Holistic Energy Healer.

Ascend Retreat’s are a time when we get to see what recovery looks like for our alumni. The ultimate goal of Ascend is to live a full life in recovery. When we gather for our retreat, we get to see what has unfolded!!

Life in recovery comes with its ups and downs, its achievements and challenges, and its joys and sadness. When we gather and share our stories we are seen, heard, and understood.

Grateful for our time in Midway, Utah where we got to share our experience, strength, and hope.

🤍💙

“Coming back from my relapse was one of the toughest things I ever had to do. I finally surrendered to getting help and feel grateful everyday that I did. I keep things simple and have established a solid sober community. I discovered running and that has saved my life. The thing I love most about running is constantly wanting to stop and pushing past the discomfort every time. Not giving up. Running has taught me to lean into uncertainty and not fear it. I now have undeniable proof that I can do hard things and I don’t have to go through hard things alone.” - Maia, Ascend Alumni

During the second phase of Ascend clients engage in what we call Personal Development. Each client is challenged to pick a hobby that they are going to actively engage in on a weekly basis.
Personal development is about clients finding something they love and are willing to put time and energy into cultivating. Clients begin to understand the balance of a healthy life learning to organize their time for fun, on going clinical work, 12 step meetings, and work or school. Recovery is about discovering our passions! Finding things that bring us joy! Living a full life!
Proud of you, Maia!
