Recovery Conversations Recordings 2022

We are so pleased to share with you the recordings from our Recovery Conversations Weekend (25-26 February 2022), with this inspiring range of very special guest speakers exploring nature connection, creativity and mindfulness in relation to recovery. All in conversation with Caspar Walsh.

These recordings will be freely available to listen to until the end of April 2022, after which time we will be inviting donations to access them.

“From Drug Addiction to Wild Wellbeing”

with Robin Harford - plant-based forager, ethnobotanical researcher and wild food educator and creator of Eat Weeds.

"The Recovery Conversations are a vital space for removing the stigma of 'being in recovery'. Rite to Freedom (R2F) provides a safe and inclusive space for all recovery traditions and this is hugely needed in a world usually dominated by one recovery programme stream. The vital work, connection, community and dedication of the R2F team and supporters is something that needs to be repeated throughout the UK and beyond." - Robin Harford

“The Nature of Recovery”

with Emma Cunis, ‘Dartmoor’s Daughter’, an inspiring walking guide, nature-connection facilitator, health & life coach, author and founder of Dartmoor’s Daughter.

“It was a privilege to be invited and to contribute to the Recovery Conversations weekend. My understanding is that the conversations were helpful, informative, inclusive and open-hearted offerings to support a range of participants. The work of Rite to Freedom is evermore important in an increasingly stressful and disconnected world.” - Emma Cunis

"Emma is an amazing person. Listening to this conversation really inspired me in my recovery process. Amazing words of wisdom!” - Audience Member
