Facilitator training using creative arts activities, fostering community, deepening connections and strengthening recovery. Recovery is for everyone.This course is designed to introduce multiple pathways for building community in recovery, to anyone working with substance use disorder (SUD) and mental health. The participants will be immersed in a variety of experiential activities that are designed to build community, provide safety/trust and focus on the importance of relationship in recovery. By engaging in expressive arts, music making and mindfulness practices, participants will come to understand how these modalities work to build relationships and community. Participants will gain confidence in facilitating expressive arts, mindfulness and music making activities that are fun and relaxing. These are not therapeutic activities; however, they do produce a therapeutic environment that allows people to grow. Participants will learn evidenced based techniques that are shown to improve engagement and retention.

Where Ancient Healing and Modern Science Meet Our logo is a Triskele with beaming light shinning through. For our purposes, the three spirals represent mind, body and spirit and the light represents hope. The Triskele is the oldest symbol on earth, dating back to 3200 BCE and is found in many cultures. All three spirals are connected in one continuous design. At Authentic Trainings, LLC these are guiding principles: connection, community and spirit.
