LifeRing Focus Meetings bring together specific communities of individuals with commonalities. In these meetings, you can explore your personal recovery journey with participants who share similar journeys.
LifeRing follows a 3-S philosophy: Sobriety, Secularity, and Self-Empowerment. LifeRing participants come together to connect with other peers in recovery. We offer a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can express yourself and explore your support objectives. We treat everyone with respect, and everything shared is confidential.

"Mosaic" is a topic meeting focusing on the interactions between psychological trauma, addiction and recovery. Meeting time is split between personal shares and discussion of our current scientific understanding of trauma, PTSD and CPTSD, other co-occurring disorders, and therapeutic interventions for the above. Diagnosis with a co-occurring disorder is not necessary to attend!
