Survivorship Ritual Abuse Webinar May 15

OUR NEXT WEBINAR:
Saturday, May 15, noon to 1:30 Pacific time
(Check in at 11:45)
"Riding off into the Sunrise."
Celestial

"Riding Off Into the Sunrise" shares the landscape of long-haul recovery after the first ten years.

When Celestial's first memory came home to roost, she ran out and bought all the right books and a cookie, joined three support groups, and hired a therapist (telling him "Six sessions should be plenty."). She worked hard to rocket through the past and catapult to recovery, a shining state of normal where the streetlights have keys under them and everyone is Over It by now.

Years and cookies later, she is still plodding with determination, one foot (or hand) in front of the other. She's found that the rockiest places hold the deepest lessons about love for herself, for others, and for the whole world. Being normal still sounds appealing; but instead she gets to be Celestial, telling how even dark parts of the journey hold their own special lights and graces.

By day, Celestial works for people who rescue other people. By night, Celestial is a spiritual standup comic who collects recovery stories. Her favorite foods are mac-and-cheese and tollhouse cookies; but mostly she eats a lot of kale.
