Similar to the 3-month training, this program is for people who desire to recover from the grips of addiction.
Contemplative prayer helps us to root out the sources of addiction and find recovery. It empowers us to take responsibility for the disorder and brokenness within us, and so to surrender this to God to be healed. Persisting in contemplative prayer fosters the transformation of a broken, passive, and self-absorbed life into an intentional life of authenticity and compassion.
In our contemplative prayer for addiction recovery program, you’ll learn to rectify the will and will gain tools to deal with addiction, strong desires, and overwhelming emotions without succumbing to them. Participants must have been sober for 6 months or longer and be a regular participant in a 12-step or similar program.
The training includes:
- Introductory weekend retreat at Cloud-Bearing Mountain
- Weekly face-to-face meetings and practice sessions
- A schedule of readings and short reflections personalized to your specific needs
- A 3-DAY OR LONGER SILENT RETREAT AT CLOUD-BEARING MOUNTAIN
- Another residential program of your choice
- Availability for phone consultations if necessary
- 3-month duration
