The Spirit Recovery Story

Why Spirit Recovery Exists


Recovery journeys often come with a great deal of labeling—there are strict rules, guidelines, and beliefs you must subscribe to in order to heal. Many are seeking what recovery has to offer, but without the judgements of being in recovery. Spirit Recovery exists to fill the gap, offering experiences that don’t require submission to any particular belief system to participate. Spirit Recovery offers space to come to terms with life’s challenges without conforming to a book of rules—because people don’t heal in environments where they are not respected. 

Why Journeys Exist


Journeys provide seekers like you the opportunity to deprogram, and reconnect to Nature, to Spirit, and to the wholeness of Life. They combine the power of natural landscapes in places like Peru and Mexico with guided medicine—opening the door to step outside of structured society and reclaim your authentic state as a joyful, spiritual being.

About Lee McCormick


Lee McCormick, a Florida native, grew up visiting his family’s ranch in Wyoming—an experience that shaped his future. He began pursuing his undergraduate degree at Fort Lewis College in Colorado, before finishing at Belmont University in Nashville. After his own recovery experience, his interest in behavioral health led him to found several residential-based treatment experiences, including The Ranch Recovery Center in Nunnelly, Tennessee, and The Canyon Treatment Center in Malibu, California.


Throughout the 20+ years that Lee has worked in spiritual-based recovery, he’s written several books and produced a documentary called Dreaming Heaven. His passion led him to host workshops and trainings, and facilitate groups for mental health and addictions treatment centers around the country. He co-founded the Integrative Life Center in 2010, a place where people could come to receive individualized treatment rooted in the real world. His entire life’s work has been devoted to empowering people to harness the power of self-discovery and the natural world. 


Lee McCormick went on journeys for his own seeking, growth, and healing, spending years learning and co-teaching before leading journeys of his own. Through Spirit Recovery, Lee takes seekers on journeys to recover their authenticity—teaching them how to expand beyond their limiting beliefs, and how to “de-program,” returning to a state of true freedom, love, and happiness. Spirit Recovery journeys are the first step in coming back to a simpler, deeper way of living. 



Testimonials

This journey was and experiential exploration that helped me drop old messages and unhealthy ways of coping. Using energy and the teachings launched me into a deeper embodiment of mystery and reality. Simply put, it made space for me to know myself in a more soulful and authentic way.


—Monnie

I have traveled to TEO with Lee twice and both times the trips elevated me to new level of awareness I never thought possible. I love these trips and am now off to Peru with Lee.

He is a rock solid human being that joyfully shares his love of Toltec philosophy coupled with his deep knowledge and love for Mayan history . All I can say is GO! You’ll come back a more evolved person!


—Jane Mintz

I went to Teotihuacan with Lee McCormick once on the advice of a good friend over 10 years ago. As of now, I have completed 14 trips and have no plans to discontinue going.

Aside from the superb setting of the Dreaming House, I have become a member of a vast community of Spiritual Adventurers and Warriors. No two trips have ever been the same and each one is deeper, richer and more transforming than the ones before.

When I lived in Mexico, I could go 3-4 times per year since it was only an hours flight away. I am 76 yrs old now and I have experienced healings I could not have imagined and phenomena that defy explanation in the modern world.

There is no possible way for you to regret giving yourself the gift of this experience!


—Thomas Hedlund, psychotherapist
