Today, we remember Richard Osler, a remarkable poetry therapist whose creative spirit, kind heart, and infectious laughter touched everyone. Richard had a unique gift—a way of inviting even the most guarded clients to open up, guiding them to find solace and healing through poetry and self-expression. His gentle presence and unwavering compassion helped countless individuals discover their own strength and voice. We are deeply grateful for the time we shared with Richard, whose legacy will continue to inspire healing and hope. His absence will be profoundly felt, but his impact remains with us always. Thank you, Richard, for your words, wisdom, and warmth. You will be greatly missed. #InMemory #RichardOsler #PoetryHealing #TheHealingInstitute
This weekend we lost one of a kind. Angela Lynn and I are sad to post that Richard Osler, the poet, has passed away. This picture taken at his last poetry session at The Healing Institute at Forbidden Plateau. Richard was amazing, thoughtful, passionate and full of life. He came with me to all 3 treatment centres I have been a part of and he changed many many lives, including both of ours. His laugh, oh my god how I will miss his laugh. In the early days of THI he would stay with me at the centre. Supporting me to continue through the challenges of starting a new center. I will miss our chats and the sight of big burly addicts reading their poems and crying. We are sad tonight, we grieve his passing, but also are grateful for our time with him. We love you Richard!

🌟 Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day-in and day-out. 🌟 Recovery is not a single moment or a sudden transformation. It’s a journey—a series of small, everyday steps that lead to something greater. Each day in recovery is a victory, whether it’s saying “no” when temptation calls, reaching out for support when things feel heavy, or simply getting through another day with a little more hope. Perseverance is the key. It’s in the moments when we feel like giving up but decide to push forward anyway. It’s in the setbacks we face but refuse to let define us. Real change doesn’t come overnight—it comes from showing up every day, even when it’s hard, even when it feels like progress is slow. Keep going. Every small effort adds up. Each day you choose to stay on the path, you’re building something stronger, more resilient, and more beautiful. You are capable of greatness, one step at a time. 💪✨ #RecoveryJourney #Perseverance #OneDayAtATime #SmallStepsBigImpact #NeverGiveUp #HealingPath #THICommunity #SoberLiving
