“Release and Reclaim” virtual support/therapy group

What do we do? We have monthly conference CALLS for discussing
subjects on our minds and providing support to each other. We also
have an online group site for our FORUM and other features at
http://groups.google.com/group/reclaim.

New members are invited to post profiles, including your religious/
spiritual history and story of recovery to date. The site has
profiles and discussion threads which have been very interesting. The
group members are very supportive and thoughtful. I take an active
role as a therapist in moving discussions forward so that we are
focused on healing and growth rather than simply talking about what we
have been through.

As a member you have access to:
- Profiles of other members
- A forum for discussion. From our phone calls and the topics
suggested so far, we’ve been discussing the following topics:
relationships with friends and family in the “fold,” alternative views
of spirituality, creativity, sexuality, and developing new friends/
social support networks. More topics can be started, and we post
information from our phone talks.
- Current information about upcoming events, such as Release and
Reclaim retreats
- Reports and photos from previous retreats.
- Exercises for healing and growth related to the topics we are
discussing.
- Articles
- Humor
- Information on Resources such as book reviews, films, and
conferences

You are also invited to post creative writing, photos, and art of
your own.

This group is for people who have discussed their situation with me
directly. The reason for this is to have some commonality and trust.
The group is confidential like any therapy group, and I safeguard
everybody’s safety and privacy.

Membership involves a subscription with a sliding scale of $10 - $30/
month, and this is negotiable. You can join the first conference
call for free.

Please email me for more information or call and discuss at no
obligation. 510-292-0509, mwinell@gmail.com. Call soon, since
Sunday is coming soon and spaces do fill up!
