The root cause of addiction is disconnection from one’s true self. When we do not experience being accepted, loved, understood and mirrored in a way that reflects our authenticity, we often lose connection with ourselves as we adapt to fit into the external environment. This creates internal emptiness and pain, which addictions temporarily help to soothe. The addictive pattern generates negative side effects, and becomes difficult to stop.
It’s often necessary to choose to move away from one thing in order to move towards something different. The Beyond Addiction program supports individuals in moving away from addictive behaviours, as they move towards healthy habits. The program is for anyone who wants to establish beneficial thought patterns and habits to nourish mind, body and spirit and manifest an inspired and fulfilling life. The program can help build healthy, resilient individuals, families and communities.
Beyond Addiction comprises a 16-session recovery program which includes Kundalini Yoga, breathing techniques, meditation, relaxation, self-reflection, lifestyle and dietary guidelines, group support, stress management, hydrotherapy, naturopathic detoxification and nutritional and herbal supplementation for neurotransmitter and glandular balance.
The program was developed by Sat Dharam Kaur ND, and integrates the teachings of Dr. Gabor Maté and other experts in the addiction field.
