I think nature, recovery, adventure, recovery, orca are all key components to meeting different types of students who aren't, aren't looking necessarily for a traditional path.
Imagine finding your path to recovery not in a traditional support group, but out on the open ocean. That's exactly what Kevin Carmignani did. In this episode of the 'Recovery Matters! Podcast', Kevin, the ORCA Project Coordinator, shares his unique story of how surfing became a cornerstone of his recovery and spiritual journey. It all started with short trips to the Appalachian Trail, where Kevin first felt a spiritual connection with nature.
But it was the ocean that truly called to him. Surfing provided not just an escape, but a profound sense of peace and purpose. Kevin explains the spiritual experiences he has while riding the waves and how these moments have helped him stay grounded and focused on his recovery. He also introduces listeners to the ORCA Project, an initiative aimed at building a community alliance for ocean conservation.
Through his story, Kevin highlights the dangers of addiction, the importance of having a supportive network, and the healing power of nature. This episode offers a fresh perspective on recovery, showing that there are many paths to healing, some of which might just surprise you.
