Recovery is a sacred journey.

Recovery Rituals - Magical Practices For Daily Thriving

Welcome human. You are sacred. You are your own spiritual authority.

You are perfect in your imperfection.
It is an honour to have you with us.

Whether you are currently struggling with your addiction, are new in recovery, love the idea of a sober lifestyle, have long term abstinence, have no relationship with a higher power, are discovering yourself, are suffering from co-dependency, are a fierce workaholic, are a work in progress and everything in between – you are welcome here.

Everything in your life has prepared you for this moment. And the next – we are all on this sacred journey together. This is an opportunity to go deep – to go beyond SURVIVING. A calling to recover the parts of you that have been lost along the way, a chance to rise up and meet yourself – after all, you have been with you all along.

We are grateful to be on this sacred journey with you. We want to witness your transformation from a human DOING to a human BEING. It is our jam, after all.

A guiding force and an unwavering passion for serving others…

Vasalisa has shown me how much she gives to the present moment, she always learns from her struggles and overcomes. Vasalisa is a guiding force and has an unwavering passion and need to do service, give, share and support others. She has taught me to trust my intuition and use it as a tool as a guide in my life. She has helped me remove old belief systems, and improve my relationships. She is wise beyond her years, and so inspiring! Her passion for recovery and creative expression is contagious. I couldn’t be more grateful to have Vasalisa’s support on my path of healing.

I am in Recovery. I Don’t Believe in God and You Don’t Have to Either Part I

Yup. You heard me right. I am in recovery and I don't believe in god (and you don't have to either). You may have arrived here because you are pissed off that I would even say such a thing. Or perhaps you don’t believe in god either and find comfort in knowing you...

Ok. So this has been a long time coming. What I have to say may make some people angry. It may give some people hope. It may bring some of us closer together. It may have some feeling further away - and that’s ok. First of all let me make something clear: ONLY talking...
