Sanctum Recovery Circle
A space for connection, reflection, and healing.
Sanctum Recovery Circle is a welcoming community gathering offering space for reflection, shared experiences, and meaningful connection along the journey of recovery.
Beginning Wednesday, November 11, 2026, Sanctum Recovery Circle will meet every Monday through Friday at 10:00 AM at Sanctum Gallery in Pittsfield, Massachusetts.
Each morning, participants explore a reading from The Book of Awakening by poet and spiritual teacher Mark Nepo. Through thoughtful reflections on life, love, loss, courage, and connection, these gatherings invite participants to consider how the day’s message relates to their personal recovery and everyday experiences.
Every gathering includes a short reading, time for individual reflection, and an opportunity to share thoughts and experiences with others.
All recovery pathways are welcome, including those participating in Twelve Step programs. No religious belief or affiliation is required.
Whether you feel comfortable sharing your story or would simply prefer to listen, you are welcome.
