Sobriety and the Deeper Life
With Zoë Pawlak
September 27 - 29, 2026
Led by Canadian facilitator and sober lady Zoë Pawlak, this two-day immersive workshop explores the intimate relationship between sobriety and spirituality. Created for individuals with at least three months of sobriety, this course supports participants to embark on a journey toward living a richer, more vibrant life after substances. Together, we will reframe sobriety not merely as abstinence, but as an ongoing, creative, spiritual, and embodied practice.
If you’ve been sober for a while and are feeling stagnant, this weekend is a great opportunity to be restored and enlivened by dynamic programming, spacious landscape and deep care.
“The soul delights when we allow our deeper nature to happen to us.” – John O’Donohue
Starting with daily movement, we will learn what it means to move feelings and lived experience through the body. Zoë will support participants by teaching new ways of breathing and light yoga. We will come to relate to the body as a vessel; capable, safe and whole.
Participants will leave with tools to thrive in areas they’ve learned to tolerate or have been overwhelmed by, by building resiliency. We will gently look at fear and roadblocks and reframe judgments through compassionate inquiry, employing group and inner work.
Through creative and contemplative inquiry, participants are guided to attune more deeply to their bodies, intuition, and the natural rhythms of the land. Reflective writing and facilitated discussions foster meaningful integration and collective understanding, while immersive time in nature cultivates personal insight and profound restoration.
This will also be fun! Come play in this beautiful environment and enjoy the landscape and walks. Be restored by nature and the expansive skies. This weekend is intended to return us to our full aliveness, reminding us that our birthright is joy.
