About this class

Taking a break from alcohol can do wonders for your mental and physical health (and bank account!), but it can feel lonely if others around you aren’t participating. Join this judgement-free, supportive kula—or community—where we gather monthly to discuss the benefits of reducing alcohol, finds ways to manage the time, and celebrate our efforts. 

*PLEASE NOTE: These discussions are for those who are rethinking the role of alcohol in their lives or taking a break from alcohol. While I can talk about my own journey with alcohol and help others as they explore their journeys, I am not professionally trained in substance abuse disorders. If you have been diagnosed Alcohol Use Disorder or suspect you might have a severe addiction, please consult your doctor before joining. You can find more resources and support here:
