A Path Toward Recovery

11/07/2025

This was more than just an amazing event - it shifted our collective consciousness. We all felt it. ✨

With gratitude to Liberation Programs, and the incredible author, and journalist, Johann Hari for providing us all with such a beautiful experience.

More than 200 friends, colleagues, and community partners and sponsors came together.

Johann shared his powerful research and stories, bringing us all to that moment in Pigeon Park in Vancouver when he realized: the opposite of addiction isn’t sobriety, the opposite of addiction is connection. After he stepped onto the TEDx global stage in 2015 and uttered those infamous words, they became a clarion call for us all to lead with compassion and to foster community.

As a former Liberation Programs' Board member, I can attest to the fact that this is the work they do every day bringing that same connection and care to everyone they help and serve every day.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this unforgettable afternoon possible — celebrating compassion, connection, and community.

I never planned on getting sober. I just knew I needed to take a break - I was scared I might be an alcoholic. What I've learned and experienced on my 12 step path is that alcoholism is actually a disease whose cure enables you to become a better person. ✨ That's the spiritual alchemy. It has ended up being the greatest gift of all.
