Human beings need and deserve to be connected to other human beings. And human beings should not have to have "issues" or identify as having them in order to have safe places to connect and support one another.
This was my impetus for starting Love Chaos meetings years ago and they went very well. I had to stop them for a number of reasons, but recently I've made the decision to restart them though call them something else,
Human Recovery.
Human Recovery meetings have no requirements to attend. You do not need to believe in an ideology, philosophy, way of life, you simply just need to show up, either in person or online. But what exactly are these meetings?
