✨ Recovery Discovery: 2026 Vision Boards ✨
A gentle, creative way to welcome the year ahead—together.

At this potent time of year, as the light slowly returns, we’re invited into reflection rather than resolution. This gathering is not about fixing yourself or setting rigid goals—it’s about slowing down, listening inward, and naming how you want to feel and live in 2026.

Join us for a trauma-informed arts experience led by Angie, where intention is held gently and creativity becomes a form of discovery.

🌿 What to expect:
• A calm arrival and soft landing with music
• A guided meditation focused on intention—not pressure
• Vision board creation using images, color, and words
• Optional sharing in a respectful, reflective circle
• One word or image to carry forward as a guide, not a demand

✨ No advice-giving
✨ Sharing is always optional
✨ Breaks are welcome
✨ Come exactly as you are

This is about nourishment, not accomplishment.
Direction, not perfection.
A gentle step forward—together.

As the year winds down, we’re ending it the way we try to live it — in community. Tonight’s Chill & Grill was simple and meaningful: folks newly sober pulling up a chair next to people with months, years, and many chapters behind them. Food on the grill, conversations at the table, no hierarchy — just people showing up as they are.

That’s the heart of the peer movement. Recovery isn’t something handed down; it’s something we build together, side by side. knowing connection is often the quiet thing that carries us into what’s next.

As we step into a new year, our wish for you is this:
More moments of shared tables.
More honesty without fear.
More reminders that you don’t have to do life — or recovery — alone.

From all of us at EqualSRQ, Happy New Year. May it meet you with warmth, dignity, and room at the table!

✨ Recovery This Time of Year: One Manageable Step, Together.

This season can be beautiful—and it can also be heavy. Expectations rise, calendars fill, and for many, emotions feel closer to the surface. Recovery doesn’t ask us to do everything. It asks us to do what’s manageable, and to do it together.

Last Friday, a small group of our peers, participants, and donors gathered for a simple, shared experience: a walk through Marie Selby Botanical Gardens to see Lights in Bloom®. More than two million lights illuminated the gardens and pathways, but what mattered most wasn’t the scale of the display—it was the pace we set together. No pressure. No agenda. Just moving forward, side by side.

Recovery during the holidays can look like:

Saying yes to something gentle

Choosing connection over isolation

Letting beauty and fresh air do some of the work

Borrowing steadiness from the group when your own feels thin

We’re grateful for moments like these—quiet reminders that healing doesn’t have to be loud or overwhelming. Sometimes it’s just a walk, some lights, and the comfort of not doing it alone. 🌿

🎁 Last-Minute Gift Idea — Happy Girl Bracelets ✨
Looking for something meaningful, affordable, and full of heart? We have a gallery of Happy Girl bracelets available now at EqualSRQ — $20 each.

💛 Lisa’s Story
Lisa got the idea to start making bracelets and selling them while she was visiting Costa Rica. She thought it could be her source of income over there — something that allowed her to express herself and be free. So she ordered a bunch of beads and had them waiting for her at home when she got back (lol).

Her life coach noticed what she was doing and turned it into a therapy exercise. She asked Lisa to make a bracelet for the happy, carefree little girl who lives inside of her — and that’s where the name was born. Since then, it’s taken on a life of its own.

Each bracelet is a small reminder of joy, resilience, and creativity — and a beautiful way to support peer-led recovery work in our community.

🛍️ Available at EqualSRQ
💲 $20 each
🎄 Perfect stocking stuffers, hostess gifts, or something special just for you
