Finding Freedom

Finding Freedom is a community of people who know that real lasting change is possible and we want to give others support in achieving it. We know the power of freedom from trauma, addictions, abuse, mental/emotional illness, and so much more. We know this because we have experienced it. We have walked a therapeutically-informed, cathartic journey towards wholeness and healing. If you are someone in need, we want to invite you to join us in your own journey. This community, and the journey we invite people on, is called Rapha Journey. Rapha is the Hebrew word for healing and wholeness. The journey was developed in England by Dr. Peter Holmes and Dr. Susan Williams, both of whom are specialists in the field of Therapeutic Community. They arrived in Bozeman in 2009 and began teaching people practical tools to use in a journey of healing and wholeness. Using an expert-by-experience support model and a cathartic approach, the Rapha Journey equips people to support each other in working through areas of pain, trauma, and damage in their lives, in order to let them go forever. We are holistically focused. In addition to supporting people to find emotional healing, we encourage life-skills learning. This can include budgeting and financial management, learning healthier lifestyles (including proper nutrition), as well as developing interpersonal and relational skills. We offer a psychometric assessment that informs people of their natural skill set, and gives them direction in education or career development where they are most likely to succeed. Due to the often complicated difficulties in our lives, these practical and future-oriented steps can prove to be incredible redemption.
