Workshop Description: Participants of this workshop will be challenged to recognize the intimate qualities of the absence, the emergence, and the living experience of grace in those who are in recovery from process addictions and behavioral health disorders. Often, there is a broad range of opportunities and difficulties in the effort to recover, even after reconciling the idea of choice and having a desire to build a sustained recovery.

Innovative approaches and a variety of interventions will be shared in an experiential setting that will help participants identify the movement behind a collaborative spiritual process. Through the use of movie clips, literature and music, interactive dialogue will enable participants to expand the realm of traditional therapeutic and recovery-based skills.

As a result of this presentation, participants will come to view and utilize therapeutic and spiritual interventions not merely as a sterile interaction to elicit change, but as an emotional and spiritual experience that will empower them to dedicate their efforts to connect with their truth. This path leads us away from our obstacles and struggles, and moves us toward solutions and a place of hope.

Workshop Objectives

  1. To enable participants to recognize the progression of grace in their journey from struggle to serenity. Participants will be challenged to expand their understanding of how grace and truth work their way through an individual’s past, present and future.
  2. To provide participants with tools they can utilize to enhance their spiritual journey. Although no one can predict life’s outcomes, participants will learn techniques to unlock their own ideas that help them remain on the recovery path.
  3. To help participants develop an authentic appreciation for the spiritual journey of recovery, and to uncover some of the mystery behind a spiritual experience.

What Others Are Saying About "The Movement of Grace"

Sierra Tucson Alumni had the pleasure of participating in Jennifer Angier's "The Movement of Grace" at the annual Alumni Retreat (S.T.A.R. 29) in October of 2016. Several attendees asked how they could obtain her CDs/DVDs and/or speaking schedule in order to gain more insight from this incredibly gifted and powerful speaker. Well, Alumni Relations listened to their requests! Jennifer will deliver the same presentation, but take a more in-depth approach. If you missed the Alumni Retreat last year - or if you'd like to hear her dynamic presentation again - you won't want to miss this event!
