Recovery often asks us to subtract, not add.

Most of us come in full,
full of fear,
full of habits that once helped us cope,
full of ideas about how things should go.

Over time, recovery gently asks us to loosen our grip.
To stop filling every quiet moment.
To let some space exist.
That space can feel scary. Empty even.

But it’s often the first place God can meet us.

Not because we’ve done it right,
but because there’s finally room.

So excited to offer yoga for women in recovery on campus, for our community.

We’re grateful to have a beautiful, peaceful space here at Haven, and to use it for practices that support healing in a gentle, intentional way. This class has been on our hearts for a while, creating room for women in recovery to slow down, reconnect with their bodies, and build inner strength in a supportive environment.

This all-levels yoga class is a supportive space for women in recovery to reconnect with their bodies and inner strength. Through mindful movement, breathwork, and moments of relaxation , we focus on healing, self-compassion, and balance, physically, mentally, and spiritually.

No prior yoga experience is needed; all bodies and abilities are welcome. Come as you are and leave feeling grounded, nourished, and empowered.

We’re grateful to continue expanding what recovery can look like on our campus!

Recovery requires discipline.

Especially discipline over where our attention goes.

Looking into another person’s cup isn’t the issue.

The motive is.

Are we checking to see if help is needed
or deciding what their life means about ours?

We are responsible for what’s in our hands.

That’s where contentment is found.

From the kitchen of Chef Colleen 🍞

Welcome to the world:
Dough Gotti, Clint Yeastwood, Flour Child, Sir Starts A-Lot, The Notorious B.R.E.A.D., Toast Malone, and Bluey.

Tending and nurturing our sourdough starter teaches us something essential:
healing and growth don’t happen all at once. They happen through small, consistent acts of care.

Just like the brain, sourdough comes back to life when it’s fed regularly, given warmth, not rushed or punished, and allowed to change over time.

This mirrors recovery:
• We work with what is already inside us
• We don’t force growth
• We trust the process

Recovery teaches us this truth gently and relentlessly:
there is no version of life without effort.

Sobriety doesn’t remove struggle, it gives us the capacity to stay.
To repair instead of abandon.

To show up instead of escape.

To carry both gratitude and discomfort without running.

We stop asking for a life that never hurts
and start building a life that’s worth the work.

What happens here is a return to the Great Reality.

Recovery teaches us how to live with open eyes and an open heart,
to receive life as it comes, not as we demand it to be.

The joy and the grief.
The unanswered questions.
The quiet grace threaded through ordinary days.

We loosen our grip on control
and begin to trust something greater than ourselves.

Meaning is found not by escaping life,
but by showing up for it
and being grateful for all of it.

Recovery isn’t something we study, it’s something we practice.

Real life is the laboratory. Our own hearts are the workshop.

We learn by showing up, choosing love, and doing the next right thing.

This is how healing happens, one day at a time.

If you’re sober this Christmas, we’re proud of you.

You’re doing the deal.

One day at a time.

Keeping your sobriety first, because everything else depends on it.

Sobriety is a gift, the kind that lets you get on the floor with kids, play with the dog, laugh too loud, and actually remember it all.

Turns out, this is what happiness looks like.

Christmas Cookie Swap at Haven 🎄🍪

One of our favorite traditions of the year.

Alumni come back home to Haven, and our current residents spend the day in the kitchen with Chef Colleen, baking cookies from scratch, learning, laughing, and working side by side.

By the end of the day, the tables are full, the kitchen smells like Christmas.

At the end of the day, we do a cookie swap, and we vote on the best! Friendly competition (mostly 😂)

Everyone leaves with boxes of cookies and full hearts, a beautiful mix of past and present, recovery and tradition, service and joy.

This is what community looks like.

(We can’t share photos of the women for privacy… but the cookies didn’t mind being photographed 😉)

Recovery starts long before the coffee, it starts with surrender. With choosing God’s voice over the old noise.

Because left to our own thinking, most of us end up back in fear, shame, or self-reliance. But when we let God in first, the whole day shifts.

This is what we practice at Haven: humility, willingness, and the quiet courage to start our day with God instead of ourselves.
