Life at Waseskun
At Waseskun, the elements of the Healing Path are organized to enable each Resident to engage in his own healing process by progressing along his Path through different stages. All aspects of the Resident's life are taken into account through the therapy provided in his or her healing plan, adapted according to the progress made throughout his journey along the Pathways.
The process begins as soon as the Resident arrives, with a 48-hour personal retreat called “Lighting the Fire”. During this time, they reflect on their situation, why they have come to the Waseskun Center, and what they need to work on to heal. The Resident remains in his room without interacting with the Community, except for meals, exercise and meetings with staff or peer supports. The Resident develops a personalized recovery plan, which must include the work he is committed to doing during his stay at Waseskun.
Once his plan has been presented at a Community Circle, he enters the “Waiting at the Edge” stage, then progresses through the “Path 1”, “Path 2”, “Path 3” and “Path 4” stages, at his own pace and according to his needs. Each step allows him to deepen your healing and acquire new privileges.
