Family Week Schedule

Dear Family Members, Friends and Colleagues,

We would like to invite you to participate in our Cirque Lodge Family Program. Existing research has shown that addicts and alcoholics whose family members have participated in the treatment process have better outcomes and less recidivism than those who did not have family involvement. In our ever-evolving response to COVID-19, our family program will be offered both in person here at Cirque Lodge, and online, wherein you may watch lectures and participate in group and family counseling sessions via Zoom.

Our family program typically runs from Tuesday through Friday. Dates for these family weeks are listed below.

Family Program Dates 2026

Those who wish to participate in person will have an unparalleled experience of healing and reconciliation. We encourage you to join us here on site if possible and if you’re healthy, though we realize some of you may still choose to join virtually. If you are experiencing any symptoms, we ask that you join virtually or choose to join in person for the next family program.

Family week will begin for those on site at 8:15 am. Breakfast will be served at the studio in the 3rd floor dining hall. Programming begins at 9:00am with a community meeting and is followed by two interactive family only sessions which will be facilitated by our clinical team. These sessions are designed to introduce family members to the principles and ideas that will be expounded upon throughout family week programming. For those joining online, please reserve Tuesday morning from 9:00 am to 12:30 pm (Mountain Time) for this opportunity. (Zoom links provided below)

We have outlined the entirety of family week for you below. Information for those both here on site and for those joining electronically has been included. If you are here on site, you will participate in live lectures, workshops, and groups; and for those joining us via the internet, we have included links for previously recorded live streamed meetings and workshops. These are offered through a private Youtube channel. You may watch these at your own convenience by clicking the links below. As you watch, please keep notes on any questions that you may have and email them to familyweek@cirquelodge.com. We will have a live and interactive Q&A with these questions on Friday morning at 9:15 am (Mountain Time). (Zoom link provided below). If you are at Cirque, you will participate in the Q&A in person.

Individual and group therapy sessions will also take place during the program. Again, if you are at home, you can participate in these sessions via Zoom. Your loved one’s counselor will send links for the Zoom sessions or private family work and the family process group work at the start of the week.
