Time in the Snow
This time of year, the mountains surrounding Cirque Lodge are pretty covered in the deep snow of winter. Residents in alcohol and drug rehab can still have chances to get our and do some snow shoeing, hiking and on the good days the Cirque Lodge helicopter will still fly residents to private mountain peaks. Our experiential team even will spend hours digging out the fire pit from several feet of snow for our special recovery bonfires we provide on occasion.
The purpose of all these elements, in summer heat and winter snow, is to give individuals who are struggling with addiction a chance for change. At Cirque, we feel this change has got to come from within, and we feel it comes about through vital spiritual experiences. Our experiential team has created a program that is just so dynamic and effective. It does more than provide unique ways for exercise. It teaches skills for recovery and provides individuals an abundance of opportunities to experience internal changes.
This time of year as the snow begins to accumulate, some may complain about cars getting stuck, or how much snow they have to shovel. For the individual in alcohol and drug rehab at Cirque Lodge, the time in the snow can be seen as the moment in their life they left their addictions and problems behind, and found the joys of recovery.
