Creativity was on display at our Make & Take craft event during Coffee & Connection!

We made sun catchers, created collages, and painted rocks and mugs while spending time together in a welcoming space.

Everyone got the chance to create something unique and take a little piece of the day home with them. We loved seeing the creativity and connection in the room. Thank you to everyone who joined us!

We’re excited to share that our Mindful Walks are returning from their winter hibernation! As the world begins to thaw and soften into spring, it’s the perfect time to reconnect with nature, with ourselves, and with the recovery journey we’re each walking in our own way.

Our first walk of the season will be:
📅 Monday, March 23rd
🕑 3:00–4:00 PM
📍61 Spring Street, Newton, NJ

*We will gather in the back parking lot on Trinity St. and begin our walk at 3:00 on the dot!

*All walkers will receive a $5 Dunkin' Donuts gift card after every walk

These walks offer a gentle, grounding space to slow down, breathe deeply, and notice the small signs of renewal around us. Every Monday, we’ll explore simple mindfulness practices that support stress reduction, emotional regulation, and recovery resilience — all while enjoying the healing presence of the outdoors.

Whether you’re in recovery, supporting someone who is, or simply seeking a peaceful reset, you are welcome. No experience needed — just comfortable shoes and an open heart.

Same trail, different story every time.

“In yoga a millimeter is a mile.” That was our mantra of the night. A gentle reminder to slow down and take life one movement at a time, in that slow movement we can make transformative shifts in our everyday lives.

As we flowed through poses, we created space to stretch and recharge in a supportive environment. Tonight’s session allowed us to be mindful of our mind, body, and spirit.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and made this session so special. We love seeing our recovery community come together. Thank you Jan for guiding us through this class!💙

The RCC and team had an amazing time at RECO2026: The 7th Annual Recovery Ecosystems Conference- From evidence to action: building a stronger recovery ecosystem at Seton Hall University!

The day involved sessions on capacity building, diversity & inclusion, recovery advocacy, and leadership in recovery.

Connecting with peers, providers, and community leaders was a valuable experience! We’re leaving with new skills, strategies, and the motivation to continue strengthening New Jersey’s recovery ecosystem.

Together, we’re building a recovery-ready future!

Thank you and !
