A collaborative, non-clinical educational initiative with Valkyrie Counseling Group and Wind & Raven
Recovery Café is pleased to announce that it will provide hosting and administrative support for the January 2027 founding beta of the Healing Pathways Program, developed by Steve R. Patterson through Valkyrie Counseling Group.
The four-week founding beta is planned as a small-group educational experience focused on personal reflection, self-awareness, and meaningful life transitions. The program draws upon twelve interconnected Paths that encourage participants to explore personal narratives, established patterns, values, relationships, and opportunities for change.
The founding beta will provide an opportunity to introduce the revised framework, gather participant feedback, and support continued development of the Healing Pathways materials.
A Collaboration Built on Experience
Steve R. Patterson has worked with Recovery Café since 2015, facilitating recovery-oriented groups and supporting individuals navigating substance-use challenges and significant life transitions.
Healing Pathways grew from his broader experience in recovery education, group facilitation, and personal development. Although informed by that professional experience, Healing Pathways is a separate educational initiative.
Valkyrie Counseling Group develops and publishes the program’s books and facilitator resources. Wind & Raven serves as its public-facing home for personal-development activities.
Recovery Café’s involvement in this founding beta is limited to providing hosting infrastructure, administrative coordination, and support for the scheduled online meetings.
An Important Distinction: This Is Not Clinical Treatment
The Healing Pathways founding beta is a non-clinical educational and personal-development experience.
It is not part of Recovery Café’s clinical outpatient treatment services and does not constitute substance-use disorder treatment, psychotherapy, clinical counseling, diagnosis, or medical care.
Participation does not satisfy ASAM Level 1 outpatient treatment requirements, court-ordered counseling obligations, or any other mandated clinical service.
The Healing Pathways founding beta is not intended to replace professional mental health care, addiction treatment, medical services, or crisis intervention.
Recovery Café’s existing clinical programs remain separate from this collaboration.
