Indigenous Elders who live their spirituality model a way to participate in all of creation. They have had experiences of life that were closer to a time when life was lived more in contact with the natural world. They are our teachers. Peace Valley Healing Centre’s support of elders includes paying their expenses to participate in a variety of forms including supporting the writing, recording, and transcribing their wisdom and their ancestral stories.

Peace Valley Healing Center supports community participants to meet their financial needs for Living in Process® tuition through the ‘kete’ process. The ancient Maori (New Zealand) ‘kete’ process is practiced by the Living in Process® community. Participants learn to share what they have in services and money and take only what they need.

Living in Process is a highly effective way of achieving and sustaining recovery from addictions. While from addictions is a major focus of the work of Peace Valley Healing Center, we also recognise that healing and wholeness are much more than facing our addictions. Healing and wholeness involve living life fully and coming to a paradigm shift in the way we think, live and relate. Living in Process® is the term coined by Anne Wilson Schaef for this way of living

Peace Valley Healing Center supports individuals in the Living in Process® community group who need financial assistance to participate in a residential recovery community at Boulder Hot Springs. Taking responsibility for their own growth and healing, they have the opportunity to participate in 12-step meetings, weekly peer Living in Process® groups, as well as options to serve others and the land. There are no professional staff.
