Benjamin M. Eiland, MA, CATC, with Alta Mira, discusses "The Red Road and the Medicine Way"
Benjamin M. Eiland, MA, CATC, with Alta Mira Recovery Programs (www.altamirarecovery.com), discusses "The Red Road and the Medicine Way" A lot of time with people in early recovery, finding a higher power is very important to them. Ben Eiland discusses how the native people who are no longer a part of the land are still walking the land as spirits. Ben laid out a spirit bowl and said that if they were at a traditional Native gathering that they would have said prayers for the Native spirits. Ben goes on to discuss his personal growth with a higher power in a more traditional Native American and Buddhist approach because they are connected to the earth and that's where he finds his higher power. With a serious of pulls through open doors, Ben says that he was finally able to accept a higher power and grow. With 39 years of sobriety, Ben feels that he's able to help people explore where they fit with a higher power by helping them find what's right for them while recovering.
