    Break Through What’s Holding You Back—Together.

    You’ve done the work. You’ve followed the path. Yet, you still feel stuck. Whether you’re in recovery and have hit a wall, or you’re simply feeling stagnant—personally, professionally, or spiritually—this workshop is designed to help you move forward, alongside others on a similar journey.

    Who This is For:

    Those in recovery who have completed treatment, done sober living, taken the suggestions, but still feel like something is blocking them from deeper peace and progress.

    Anyone feeling stagnant, burnt out, or disconnected—seeking clarity, motivation, and a renewed sense of purpose.

    People looking to break through personal obstacles—whether emotional, mental, or spiritual—within a supportive group setting.

    What to Expect:

    A Shared Experience: Engage in meaningful discussions, guided exercises, and interactive activities with a group of like-minded individuals.

    Clarity & Direction: Identify what’s keeping you stuck and leave with practical, actionable steps to create real change.

    Spiritual & Emotional Deep Dive: Through group reflection, structured 12-step-inspired work, and shared insights, you’ll gain a new level of understanding and growth.

    Holistic Approach: Meditation, breathwork, and experiential exercises designed to help you reconnect with purpose and momentum.

    This workshop provides a safe, supportive environment where you can gain insight, challenge your limits, and move forward—not alone, but together.
