WELLNESS RESOURCES

Below is a list of resources that I have either personally experienced or have vetted in another way.  Many of them, utlized by members of the recovery community have been found to be helpful for whatever you are in recovery from.  None of these are paid endorsements.

I read Tommy Rosen's book and have been following Recovery 2.0 since the early 2000's.  I've used his teachings with groups.  I've attended and shared his on-line conferences.  He was a keynote speaker and workshop presenter at the NYS Recovery Conference in 2016. I recently saw him at the CCAR Multiple Pathways conference in 2024.  Tommy is the real deal a man in long term recovery who is authentic and dedicated.

I had the privilege of attending an Ayahuasca retreat at The Temple of the Way of Light, lead by Dr. Gabor Mate in 2019, met him again when he was a keynote speaker at the NYS Recovery Conference in 2021, and attended his on-line compassionate inquiry class in 2023.  His book "In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts" is one of the most compassionate views of addiction I've ever read.

I was introduced to Dr. Dispenza's work many years ago, attended an advanced retreat in Cancun in 2024 and participate in on-line healing meditation groups utilizing his methods. I've read "You are the placebo" and "Breaking the habit of being yourself", both scientific explanations of how changing thoughts and using meditation can be life enhancing.

Rev. Shane Ash, the former spiritual director at St. Joe's in Saranc Lake has created a wellness program for health care workers that includes a weekend retreat in the Adirondak Mountains and a year long follow up with spiritual mentorship and a facilitated group learning collaborative.  To say we are aligned is an understatement!  Check out his blog here.

Somatic Experiencing

Another modality that has been extremely helpful to me is Somatic work.  Understanding my nervous system and learning practical tools to regulate myself has been very helpful as well.  Check out my practitioner: Alison Mewer Cowan in Saratoga Springs, NY
