It is our privilege to welcome Jon Ruby from Ashes to Rubies who will be leading a workshop entitled "Answering the Chaos Within":

"What if I told you addiction is not a problem but a solution? Addiction serves as a coping mechanism shielding you from underlying chaos. While society often frames addiction as a simple quest for pleasure the reality is more complex. In this workshop we will reframe addiction as a social disorder rather than just a substance issue."

We will explore misunderstandings, factors of addiction, signs of addiction, common addictive substances, and some of the statistics.
