Journey: Healing Together Expands Wellness Weekends with New Recovery Support Group

By Bobbie Fenno

Journey: Healing Together is introducing an exciting new addition to their Wellness Weekends. A new monthly gathering, Journey to Recovery, will be dedicated to individuals in the recovery community. February marks a significant shift, as the organization discontinues its writer's group, Heal. Write. Hear., to make way for Journey to Recovery.

Set to launch on Sunday, February 23, from 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM, at 201 W. 11th Street, Erie, PA, Journey to Recovery will offer a supportive space for those seeking recovery resources, peer connections, and healing opportunities.

Wellness Weekends, hosted by Journey to a Trauma Informed Life and Journey: Healing Together, have become a cornerstone of community engagement, featuring Friday Game Nights, Saturday Crafternoons, and now Journey to Recovery gatherings.

"We are excited to introduce a dedicated space for individuals in the recovery community," said Will Koehler, co-owner of Journey: Healing Together. Creating safe, supportive spaces for healing is at the core of Journey's mission, and this new gathering is a natural extension of their work.

What to Expect at Journey to Recovery:

• The ability to ask anonymous questions in a discussion setting
• The opportunity to give feedback for future events
• Meet people in your community with a similar interest in recovery
• Snacks and drinks will be provided

More details can be found at www.journeyht.org/events, and community organizations interested in printed flyers or collaboration are encouraged to reach out.

For those seeking connection, healing, and support in their recovery journey, this new initiative promises to be a valuable resource.
