Our community offers opportunities for creativity, nature connection and meditation, supporting people in addiction recovery to live with meaning, purpose and joy.
See Our Mission page for more details.
We’re delighted to have a presence at this year’s Bloom Festival, May 12th, at Exeter Phoenix.
“A full day of free activities for the community, in partnership with a wide range of local groups and organisations, to promote good mental health and wellbeing. From discussions to workshops and creative performance, Bloom is here to encourage and enable discussion, raise awareness of the wide range of support and services available from local organisations, and to utilise creativity as a toolkit for expression and wellbeing.”
Come find us there!
We’re delighted to have our membership scheme fully up and running! This has been a process of heart and mind and background graft for us for some time and we're so glad to share this with you and invite you to support us in keeping the work that we do as sustainable and long term as we possibly can.
Latest in our online shop is this beautiful Archetypes mini-book, perfect for gifts, alongside our range of T-shirts, greetings cards and posters.
Evaluations and Evidence for the Impact of our Work
100% of participants interviewed state that being part of Rite to Freedom has supported them to make more positive choices and choose healthier directions in their lives.
This artwork below of a Dartmoor landscape was created by Gill Thompson for our ongoing impact evaluation. It is an interactive, multimedia celebration of the work of the charity with click through elements highlighting aspects of our delivery - supporting long term trauma and addiction recovery through nature connection, meditation and creative practice.
