Let’s Recover Our Humanity — Together
Support, tools, and community for life, work, and civic engagement.
What This Work Offers
Recovery isn’t just for addiction or crisis. It’s a set of human skills that help us move out of survival mode, release old patterns, regulate in uncertainty, build community, and take values-aligned action.
These skills don’t just change individuals. They change how we relate, lead, and participate in the world. And when enough individuals shift, systems begin to shift with them.
The Recovering Human exists at the intersection of recovery and social impact — providing support, tools, and community for personal recovery and meaningful participation in collective change.
How to Engage
Why this matters now
We are living through a reckoning. Long-standing systems are unraveling, and the human cost of their shortcomings is impossible to ignore. At the same time, it’s clear that we’ve lost touch with our humanity. For some, compassion and empathy have been actively abandoned or weaponized. For others, they remain present—but buried under exhaustion, fear, and confusion. We see this erosion show up across civic life, in our workplaces, and in our personal relationships.
In response, many of us have adapted in deeply human ways—through survival behaviors like numbing out, overfunctioning, or checking out altogether. These patterns may offer temporary relief, but they ultimately limit our capacity to connect, to imagine alternatives, and to drive meaningful change, both individually and collectively.
In this moment, we have a choice: to continue business as usual, or to recover.
