A Change in the Weather
Late in October, the weather is changing here at Cirque Lodge. The colors of autumn give way to the snows of winter. The snow provides a quiet serenity to those in alcohol and drug rehab. Experiential activities do some changing when the snow falls. Recovery mountain hikes now require snow shoes. The horses go indoors, and the residents in rehab must dawn winter garb when they get out on the mountain. No matter the weather, inside the Cirque Lodge you find a caring program and an environment conducive to recovery.
The freshness of a winter morning is awing. The cold snow seems to give the mountains clean fresh coat. Those in alcohol or drug rehab can need this in their lives, a clean fresh start. Caring therapies are provided to help in addressing the fears and internal problems. Experiential work helps with making the steps for recovery and restoring the joys of life. There is something to be said about nature and the mountains. It can be a needed release from the struggles of regular life. The spirit of the mountain can be a life changing experience. The ruling forces of alcoholism or drug addiction are replaced with a new set of conceptions and motives; those of recovery.
