This is meant to be a soft place for women to land as they re-evaluate their relationship with alcohol (women being cis and trans inclusive, as well as welcoming of feminine-aligned non-binary folks who feel best supported in female-centred recovery spaces). We are a sober, sober-curious and moderation-friendly community exploring what it means to thrive and flourish in our lives without using alcohol to cope, numb or escape. Many of our community members started their journey with Holly Whitaker’s Hip Sobriety/Tempest community, transitioned over to Monument and are now helping to build the Recovery Garden Collective.
We meet via Zoom multiple times a week on calls designed for peer-processing in compassionate, non-judgemental spaces focused on listening rather than giving advice or offering solutions. We believe in a w/holistic model of recovery and that each person’s path and goals are unique. Our calls are facilitated by experienced moderators with long-term sobriety. Each call begins with a grounding practice or reflection before opening the floor for community sharing and support. While this is a place to share hard and challenging experiences, it is NOT a therapeutic group and members are advised to seek professional support services for addressing deeper issues of trauma and mental health. Check out our call agreements and guiding principles for more information.
It's FREE to check out our group calls. Email our moderator Sarah (srogers.recovering.you @ gmail DOT com) to receive a two-week trial. This gives you a chance to join a few meetings and see if we’re a fit for you and the support you need. If Recovery Garden Collective feels like a good fit and you want to make our community a part of your recovery, click here to learn more how to become a monthly member.
