We hope this will be a place of home, learning and comfort for those seeking help with recovery and those who love them. We don’t really believe we can call ourselves mystics, but only that we aspire to develop a closer relationship to the Divine and learn to better live a sacred life.
Cathy is only one of many who has vanquished an addiction by the power of prayer and a seeking of assistance with the Divine as well as striving to live a more loving and caring life—loving and caring for the self and others as well as for God.

It all started the day I walked into your kitchen. That was what got the ball rolling, opened the doors, touched my hand, and you said, “Follow me. Trust me. This will all be fine. You are on your way home now.” And indeed I was.

We have come to think of addiction primarily as a physiological process with emotional roots. Yet, most addictions are deeply founded in a sense of spiritual emptiness that conveys a painful awareness that one’s life is not meaningful in some significant way. That the question of meaning arises is fundamentally a spiritual question, having to do with who one is and what one’s connection with life is as a whole.
For those who have struggled with addictive behaviors, tendencies, motivations, and emotional patterns for years without knowing how to change them, the time has arrived to be more hopeful. For the energy of your deeper being is now capable of making itself felt so that the choices you have made in the past no longer need to be the choices you make in the present.
