What happens when sobriety journeys meet cultural practices? The result: a profound transformation that fosters trust, community, and spiritual grounding.
In this episode, Gilbert Isaaca, a certified drug and alcohol counselor, and Mark Foster, a certified Wellbriety Medicine Wheel and 12 Steps facilitator, discuss the importance of culturally sensitive addiction treatment within Native American communities. They highlight practices such as mindful meditation, smudging, talk circles, and sweat lodges - and emphasize how these spiritual and cultural ceremonies foster healing, personal growth, and cultural reconnection.
