The opportunity to feel so deeply in community has been healing and re-energizing for me.' —2025 Participant" | “'My soul feels soothed. It’s rare to find a space that holds the truth of the polycrisis with both honesty and care. I felt supported, grounded, and not alone.'—2025 Participant” | “'When I began the 10-Step Program, I was in a state of overwhelm. The issues are massive, incredibly complex, and I felt nearly paralyzed by my anxiety around them... Connecting with the others in the group and listening to their perspectives, all under the caring framework provided by our facilitators, I finally began to organize my own thoughts and process my own feelings. The issues are no smaller, but I feel my ability to face them has been greatly enhanced by this experience. I am very grateful!'—2024 Participant”

Feeling grief? Trauma?

This program is worth it.

I did this program a couple of years ago with a big dose of skepticism. By the end, I knew it was totally worth it.
