Art of Community | Filmmaker brings us insights into addiction and recovery

We can learn a lot about helping people heal from addiction if we pay close attention to the wisdom and insights of those who are in recovery, as well as professionals in the recovery community. They can help us discern what works and what doesn’t work to help people heal. Wenatchee-based filmmaker and author Paul Steinbroner, who has devoted his career to understanding and sharing knowledge about addiction and recovery, says people in recovery are the most authentic and self-aware people he knows. He has found a deep sense of kinship and admiration for people on their healing journey. His work has led to deep connections with some great healers, including Father Greg Boyle of Homeboy Industries and Father Richard Rohr of the Center for Action and Contemplation.
