ONLINE: Transforming Addictions – Live life fully & Enjoy the Freedom in Recovery

With Wen-Shwu Lee and Vicky Frederiksen

May 17 - June 28, 2022

Are you in recovery from a substance, behavioural or other addiction?

Do you find yourself

  • Under stress and slipping into unhealthy patterns?
  • Worried about relapse and having reservations?
  • Trouble trusting or being intimate with others?
  • Struggling in destructive relationships?
  • Struggling with self-esteem or believing you’re not “good enough”?
  • Having trouble establishing and keeping healthy boundaries?
  • In long- or short-term recovery and just wanting more out of life?

Many people who answer “Yes” to these questions have found that this Haven Program has offered the “missing link” in their recovery.

In this series we use embodied, experiential learning grounded in proven processes such as Satir, Neurobiology, Somatic Experiencing, Haven Approaches, and much more.

Program Highlights:

  • Communication and clearing for healthy relationships
  • Learning, creating, and practicing healthy boundaries
  • Discovering strength through vulnerability
  • Considering and connecting to your Spirituality
  • Discussing and preventing relapse
  • Incorporating ideas of self-regulating and co-regulating to explore self-caring and asking for support
  • Thriving with purpose, meaning, engagement and creativity

Series Format:

  • This series will be held on Zoom once a week, incorporating experiential exercises, group discussion, breakouts, presentations and more.  In addition to  live online learning, you will receive take-home practices and opportunities to connect with a buddy in the group. If you miss a session, you will be able to access the recordings.

Schedule:

Every Tuesday from 6:00 – 8:30 pm PT, for 7 weeks ~ May 17 – June 28

Investment: 

  • $398: Supported – made possible by our generous supporters
  • $548: Regular – standard tuition price
  • $688: Pay It Forward – helps support another participant to join

Accessibility and inclusion are important to us. Together with the facilitators, we are able to offer tiered pricing on this program. Please select a tier that fits your budget and current context.  Often, employers will sponsor, support, or reimburse for professional development programs like this one.

 

Here’s what past participants have said about the program:

“The Haven has managed to bring their unique, inspiring format and approach to the virtual platform. It’s wonderful to be able to have a slice of Haven in my own home, especially in these challenging times.” – Dr Helen Peel

“The teachers were great, the class was inclusive, the learning was very relevant, and I can apply the tools in my everyday life.” – Chantelle Voisin

 

What Happens if I can’t make a session?

We’ll be sending out a recap following each session. Limited-time access to a recording of the teaching portion of the session will be available to registrants. Audio and video of participants will not be shared outside of this group without consent.

 

Confidentiality:

Transform Addictions Online fosters an environment that allows participants to explore openly and deeply. To create this safe and caring space we ask our participants to keep confidentiality; to not talk about others experiences and stories, and to not record any parts of the session themselves. Breakout rooms cannot be recorded, and our support team can pause the recording at any time in the main session. Recordings will not be shared outside of this group. All exercises are invitations, and we respect each individual’s choice on level of participation.

 

Note: This program is not a replacement for clinical treatment for alcohol, drug, food, and other addictions, but rather a complement or follow-up to protocols like the 12-steps or counseling. By integrating the Haven models based on eastern and western principles and philosophy, you’ll benefit from a holistic approach to your recovery. This program is not for people actively using drugs or alcohol. 

 

Technical requirements:

  • This online program will be hosted on Zoom, a video conferencing software that is free for participants and easy to use on a variety of devices. You will need to have a device (desktop computer or laptop recommended; tablet or smartphone can work too), reliable internet connection, and sound capabilities (headset recommended; built in or external microphone or speaker systems can work too). You can test your device connection and compatibility in advance here: zoom.us/test
  • You will be invited to join the call up to 15 minutes early to receive technical support.
