  • Group Relations Conference on Authority and Leadership in Recovery from Addiction IL

    01/11/2013 7:30AM - 01/13/2013 5:20PM
    Effective leadership and the meaningful exercise of authority require more than intellectual and technical understanding. The Group Relations model in the Tavistock tradition provides a well-defined context within which to examine group-level forces and dynamics as they occur in the here-and-now. As people work in groups, families and other social systems, their participation takes on many different meanings—influencing thoughts, feelings and action. The confluence of individual meanings powerfully affects the identities, roles and authority we take on in groups, schools, organizations, institutions, communities and society. Members of a group relations conference have the opportunity to directly experience: how people join and engage in group work, delegate and resist authority, and develop roles and reputations; how people contribute to and obstruct getting the group’s work accomplished; how members of a group exercise authority, power and influence in meaningful and appropriate ways—both as leaders and as followers; group collusion in the creation and enabling of maladaptive roles; and group support for recovery from these maladaptive roles.

    85 million people in the U.S. have been affected by addiction and over 20 million are in long-term recovery. Imagine if each of them came forward to share a story of recovery or a message of support. The Hope Share, a new story-sharing portal created by The Partnership at Drugfree.org, is designed to elevate stories of recovery and inspire others to speak out and help break the stigma and discrimination surrounding addiction. We’ve teamed up with proud partners of this project, InTheRooms.com and Faces & Voices of Recovery, to host a unique upcoming virtual experience – The Hope Share: A Live Storytelling Event. Taking place on Wednesday, February 6th at 9 p.m. EST, participants are encouraged to share their video stories of hope using their webcam during this 90-minute LIVE event to help inspire others and spark meaningful conversation around alcohol and other drug problems and addiction. Share your powerful story and help encourage families who are struggling with a young person’s addiction, and let them know that there is hope, and that recovery is possible.

  • Tournament of Champions (Kickball) AZ

    04/12/2013 9:00AM - 3:00PM
    In April 2009, an innovative approach to Behavioral Health took place at Daley Park in Tempe Arizona. Approximately 350 people participated in the First Tournament of Champions Kickball Challenge. On that day, the barriers came down and the spirit of recovery flourished as Service Recipients, Families, and Service Providers joined together for a day of fun, food and friendship. This is healthy way for all of us to engage with one another and bring a humanistic approach to services. The collaboration between all the organizations can be a miracle in its self, but when it all comes down to it health and happiness is all our focus. The event has been such a success we are having our 9th bi annual event Friday April 12, 2013. It is simply amazing seeing so many people from different walks of life join together and experience such fun, laughter and sharing.

    Join Greater Macomb Project VOX for movie night. Bill W., founder of AA Bill W. tells the story of William G. Wilson, co-founder of Alcoholics Anonymous, a man included in TIME Magazine's "100 Persons of the 20th Century." Interviews, recreations, and rare archival material reveal how Bill Wilson, a hopeless drunk near death from his alcoholism, found a way out of his own addiction and then forged a path for countless others to follow. With Bill as its driving force, A.A. grew from a handful of men to a worldwide fellowship of over 2 million men and women – a success that made him an icon within A.A., but also an alcoholic unable to be a member of the very society he had created. A reluctant hero, Bill Wilson lived a life of sacrifice and service, and left a legacy that continues every day, all around the world. Tickets: $9.00 each (Tickets will NOT be mailed, you will check in at the door) Purchase tickets in advance at www.careofsem.com/events.php or by calling 586.541.CARE (2273) Tickets can also be purchased at the door.

  • Yoga of Recovery Retreat VA

    06/20/2013 4:00PM - 06/23/2013 2:00PM
    For those familiar with any 12-Step Program, the most remarkable aspect of these is the fact that only the first of the twelve steps makes any mention of the addictive substance or act. Sobriety/abstinence is described as a “daily reprieve contingent on the maintenance of our spiritual condition”. Our opportunity for genuine spiritual fulfillment is strengthened when we weave together the ancient wisdom of Yoga and Ayurveda with the practical tools of recovery programs. Together they offer us a truly empowering personal program of recovery. 12-Step Programs also recommend an “occasional retreat from the outside world where we can quiet down for an undisturbed day or so of self-overhaul and meditation”. Yoga of Recovery offers retreats in beautiful, peaceful locations where you can relax, recover, and rejuvenate. 12-Step programs propose a spiritual remedy and do not offer much advice for the physical dimension of healing from addiction. One very important aspect of this is Hatha yoga – the asanas and breathing exercises. During the retreat you will practice yogic physical exercises – asanas (suitable for all levels) along with breathing exercises and conscious relaxation

    This workshop, presented by Sharon Melnick, PhD, delves into the development of intergenerational cycles of trauma and recommends methods to help parents with histories of addiction, abuse, and/or HIV break the pattern.

  • Recovery Art Exhibition at UNCW NC

    07/08/2013 9:00AM - 08/15/2013 5:00PM
    Evidence-based studies have shown that when young people feel that drugs and alcohol will harm them, they are less likely to use these drugs. Other studies have shown that when people want recovery, and know that it is possible, they are more likely to seek it. We are pleased tell you about our third annual Recovery Art Exhibition for high school and college students, age 14-29, in New Hanover, Pender, and Brunswick counties whose work is selected to appear in a juried two-dimensional art exhibition on "Drug Addiction and/or Recovery". Drugs include alcohol, tobacco, illegal drugs, or abused prescription drugs. There is no entry fee and artists retain ownership of their original artwork. In previous years, the exhibit was said to be “important”, “incredible”, “amazing”, and “brought tears to my eyes”. The exhibition of selected pieces is held at the Sherman L. Hayes Gallery (1st floor) of the Randall Library at the University of North Carolina Wilmington (UNCW) in July and August. Monetary awards are given for the top three submissions. Forms can be found at www.LCWProductions.com/ART.html. Submissions are due April 15, 2013.
