What makes a recovery story truly inspiring? Join Melanie Gulde as she shares the unique approach of Divided Sky, a residential recovery retreat in Vermont. Unlike traditional rehabs, Divided Sky offers a holistic environment where emotional sobriety takes centre stage. Co-founded with musician Trey Anastasio, the retreat focuses on empowering individuals to take charge of their recovery journey.
Melanie talks about how the retreat's foundation is built on the 12-step programme and emotional sobriety principles, helping guests uncover their own potential. The episode also highlights the retreat's innovative methods, such as 'Emotional Sobriety 101', which introduces core concepts to new guests. Melanie emphasises that Divided Sky is not about treating people but empowering them to realise their strengths. The conversation touches on the importance of laughter, community, and personal responsibility in recovery.
If you're curious about how a different approach can make a significant impact, this episode is a must-listen. Could this be the new frontier in addiction recovery?
