After seven years of showing up, creating space, and walking alongside each other in healing, we’ve learned this truth again and again: sustainable recovery requires sustainable support.
That’s why, this summer, we’re choosing to pause our weekly programs — not to step away from our mission, but to step more fully into it. View official statement here.
We’re taking this sacred time to:
Rebuild our internal capacity
Refocus our efforts around what sustains us all — joy, care, and community-led infrastructure
Reignite our collective vision
And yes — that means doing the radical thing: slowing down to replenish, together.
🌱 What Continues
While our weekly offerings pause, our commitment to connection does not.
We’re bringing back our foundational monthly program — the Sober Social — as a space for joy, reconnection, and grassroots fundraising.
Our first UPlifted event will be held July, 27, 2025 with a Family Reunion theme. We’ll celebrate what we’ve built, honor those we’ve lost, and affirm where we’re going — side by side.
You’ll see familiar faces, our updated offerings, and the beginning of our next chapter.
🧭 Where We’re Going
We’re not just regrouping. We’re reimagining recovery as a community ecosystem rooted in restorative hospitality — one that supports healing, housing, work, wellness, and joy.
🏡 A Capital Campaign for Our Forever Home
Our long-term goal is to create a recovery-focused wellness community — a place where rest, ritual, recreation, and reintegration aren’t luxuries, but norms. A place where healing doesn’t end at the meeting — it’s built into the land, the kitchen, the classroom, and the culture.
🧾 A New Membership Model
This summer, we’ll formally launch a member-supported model that aligns with our values:
Service-based and monetary dues
Pathways to peer certification, leadership, and collective care
Earned dividends and access to resources for those contributing to the work
It’s not just a membership — it’s an ecosystem.
🧡 What We Need
If you’ve ever felt held by MRCI — in a circle, at a table, on a walk, in a group — now is a powerful time to give back. You can:
Attend an upcoming social
Make a donation toward our capital campaign
Become a founding member of our new ecosystem
Share your recovery story as part of our summer blog series: Recovery Is Liberation
We’ve always said recovery isn’t a program — it’s a process. And now, more than ever, it’s a process of building something better — together.
We’re so grateful to be on the journey with you.
With grace, mercy, and in solidarity,
The Mindful Recovery Collective | @WeAreMRCI
