Curriculum

The Sober Life is a participatory experience. It’s built for those who have at least one year of consecutive sobriety and are ready to go deeper into recovery. This is not a passive experience or a self-paced course. Expect to be challenged and learn a lot!

Module 1: Personal Leadership (February 3 - March 23)

It’s all about radical responsibility. Learn how your values, simple stories, and beliefs inform how you make sense of the world and how this has shaped your inner and outer life. Examine areas to shift and learn practical tools for application.

Module 2: Emotional Literacy (March 24 - May 4)

Emotions are a powerful language. Gain an understanding of core emotions, learn how to work with them in your body, and process/express them in a functional way.

Module 3: Relational Leadership (May 5 - June 7)

Relationships are the ultimate markers of our health and happiness. Develop critical skills for improving yours, including working with resentments, developing healthy boundaries, and learning non-violent communication.

Integration (June 9 - June 16)

Reflect on course learnings and develop a future vision statement for your recovery.
