Child Within retreats and conventions. Wake up to the sound of birds, sip coffee on your patio overlooking the sea, watch nature unfold before your very eyes and listen to barking foxes or ships’ horns as they sail along Gibraltar straits on their way to the open sea…this is just the beginning of a memorable ten stage Tarifa Retreat. Calm,Tide and Ripples Contemplation and Reflection. An average contemplation should not take longer than ten minutes.
Now is not the time to let those who are living their addiction nightmare convince you that your recovery in the ten stages aren't true. They are simply living in bondage of the fear that isn't even…
Let us be mindful of our actions.The precursor to action is thought. Sometimes it can be VERY hard to be aware of what we are actually thinking, especially because many of our actions come from our u…
We must have the mind of our child within in order to grasp the deeper meaning of recovery. What is a child like? A child is new, untainted and curious. A child knows nothing of failure, of heartbr…
We have died inwardly before we even become adults. Our childhood emotional traumas overcome us and snuff out our child hidden within. Our material systems convert our minds into deadness. We lose ou…
Recovery is a painful thing to wake up to. To make a decision to connect to our child within. It breaks the rules. It angers the norm. It enrages parents. It puts a target on our back. And it hu…

Our answers to our recovery only lie within. Look there. Follow our heart. Uncover our own self-deception. Trace our motives. Grieve our wounds. Shed a million tears. Shed a billion tears. St…
Promises only block the path to our recovery. They tear us away from our inner connection with our child within and send us looking in the wrong direction. We do not look outside ourself for truth w…
Everything is worth sacrificing on the cause to know our child within: Parents, friends, job, money, sex, relationships, procreation, chemical substances, prestige, fame, reputation, surface comfort…
True recovery lives entirely within ourself: the marriage between the consciousness of our mind and the core of our spirit. It takes full devotion to nurture this marriage. When we divert from our…
We have a true purpose in our RECOVERY, and an enormous potential – we do not squander it in trifling battles with disconnected people who are entrenched in their own miserable dishonesty. We have e…
We ask ourself the deepest questions of our recovery: we shall hear the reply from our intuitive voice. Look within our child: the solution is there. Knock on our inner doors: they will open.Have…
If our life’s priority is not to nurture our own path toward recovery, we are a hypocrites. If we are disconnected from the full truth of our child within we live with a distorted sense of perspecti…
We do not use others’ lack of healing as an excuse for not recovering ourself. It is all too easy to focus on others’ flaws at the expense of our own inward journey. Many who purport to heal others…
Self-deceptive those firmly entrenched in denial genuinely believe that they are healed, when in reality they are only totally fooling themselves. To know themselves would be too painful. To know …
Fellowship Recovery will not protect the self-deceptive from their lies. We will not bolster their insane and pain-avoid-ant defences. We know the stinking rot they hold in check underneath their sur…
