Recovery, Story, and the Long Work of Becoming Whole
Wind and Raven is beginning a 12-week public introduction to the Healing Pathways Program. Each week, Steve Patterson will release a new video and written reflection exploring one part of the Healing Pathways framework: recovery, illness, survival, dependency, story, identity, meaning, and the long work of rebuilding a life.
Live Healing Pathways groups are planned after this public introduction. Details will be posted here as the series develops.
Healing Pathways is educational and reflective. It is not counseling, psychotherapy, addiction treatment, medical care, or crisis support. Steve Patterson is an inactive counselor. Clinical counseling services are separate and take place through Recovery Café. Wind and Raven hosts Healing Pathways education, reflection, story, and group exploration. Valkyrie Counseling Group publishes clinical and facilitator-facing material but does not provide clinical practice.
Over the summer months, this page will be updated as the video series is released on YouTube.com/@WindandRaven.
How Wind and Raven Connects to Valkyrie
Wind and Raven is the public-facing home for the reflective, personal, and spiritual side of Healing Pathways.
Valkyrie Counseling Group remains the professional and publishing home for the Healing Pathways books, facilitator resources, and ASAM-related group facilitation material.
This separation is intentional. Wind and Raven carries the public conversation. Valkyrie carries the professional framework.
