The host was Omar Diguez. 

Our guests discussed what it’s like to be in recovery, the sense of desperation, seeking healing though ceremonies. many different forms of recovery through twelve step programs and spiritual practices such as praying at sweat lodges.  

One guest, Eric,  a resident of Salinas, has been in recovery for 14 years. He helps many people in recovery to find a better path in life in both English and Spanish. Our other guest was Sergio, a 17 year old youth who has found recovery after working with his mentor to find a higher power and spirituality to stay clean. Sergio was incarcerated at juvenile hall and started working with Omar through Barrios Unidos turning around his life after learning about recovery and aspects of indigenous teachings.
