SEMINARS & TRAINING
At New Earth Recovery, one of our core values is building bridges between divergent worlds. We seek to promote dialogue among groups, consult with congregations about how to make churches safe for those struggling with addiction, and equip ministries and agencies to better walk alongside those in recovery.
New Earth Recovery offers recovery seminars to inform, promote healing, raise awareness about how addiction works and its impact on individuals, families, and communities, and reawaken hope. Ask us how your group can host one of our seminars!

Genesis Relapse Prevention Coach Training is a 4-day live class led by Alan and Amy Muia, certified Genesis Relapse Prevention counselors and regional trainers. Those who complete this training will be able to effectively help clients use the Relapse Prevention Workbook to find healing for what drives their addictive behaviors, identify and challenge faulty belief systems, and create an individualized relapse prevention plan for recovery. The training is designed for lay persons, pastors, or agency/ministry workers who want to guide individuals through the Genesis Process.
What to expect: This 4-day intensive, interactive seminar includes individual and partner exercises. The training runs 8 hours per day, with extensive evening homework. Each participant brings a "stuck area" to work on during the week. We are most effective as helpers when we practice vulnerability and are actively seeking healing for ourselves. In the training, you'll learn effective problem-solving techniques around a 10-process client workbook and coach training manual.
We'll tackle questions like: How do addictions and compulsions function in the brain? Why is it so hard to get free, despite our best intentions? How do false beliefs contribute to our stuck behaviors? How can we best help those who are struggling, without enabling?
