Embracing Unity in Recovery: Wisdom from Grandmother Mary Lyons

Human beings are created connected—to ourselves, our higher power, and each other. If we lose awareness of our unity, our spirit sleeps within us and we become isolated, lonely, and susceptible to addiction and other problems. As we learn to walk in the WE, our spirit wakes up! This is one of the beautiful gifts of recovery.
Have you ever felt disconnected from yourself or others, especially on your recovery journey? This episode of 'Spirit of Recovery' offers a refreshing perspective on reclaiming that lost connection. Hosts Rev. Dan Beckett and Rev. Michelle Vargas are joined by the remarkable Grandmother Mary Lyons, an Ojibwe Elder and member of the Grandmothers Council and Women of Wellbriety International.
Together, they dive into the concept of 'walking in the WE'—a powerful idea that emphasizes unity with ourselves, our higher power, and each other. Grandmother Mary brings a wealth of wisdom to the table, sharing teachings that highlight the importance of spiritual connectedness in overcoming addiction. She explains how losing awareness of our unity can lead to feelings of isolation and loneliness, making us more vulnerable to addiction. But there's hope.
By awakening our spirit and embracing the 'WE', we can find strength and support in our recovery journey. This episode isn't just about theory; it's packed with practical advice and spiritual insights that can help you reconnect with your true self and those around you. Grandmother Mary also discusses the broader impact of alcohol on communities and the need to uplift those affected by addiction through empowerment and spiritual growth.
Whether you're in recovery yourself, supporting a loved one, or simply interested in spiritual principles, this episode offers valuable lessons on the power of unity and connection. Tune in to discover how embracing the 'WE' can transform your recovery journey and bring you closer to a life of joy and fulfillment.
