The Wellness Sancturary
At BOULDER, COLORADO
SPIRITUAL RESISTANCE & SPIRITUAL AWAKENING
At The Wellness Sanctuary we respect the likelyhood that people who struggle with addiction, abuse issues and PTSD can have difficulty feeling safe connecting to the concept of a Higher Power and often have trouble using the word "God". At The Sanctuary, the sense of a “higher power” is a living reality experienced through individual mystical journey. We make available; ceremonies and spiritual practices drawn from the deepest traditions of human spiritual connections, to help our Participants nurture their own subjective journey to long term advanced recovery.
