About this title

Synopsis

Discover a deeper, more visual way to work the 12 Steps—one that blends ancient Elder wisdom with practical recovery principles.

Sitting in Pictures: Vision Meditations for Addiction Recovery draws from the Hopi tradition of "sitting in pictures," a powerful practice of creating healing visions in the mind. Each page pairs a core 12-Step principle with the grounded insight of an Elder, offering 280 visual meditations drawn from the spiritual traditions of many peoples of the Earth.

Perfect for:
• AA and other 12-Step sponsors guiding sponsees
• Treatment professionals supporting Indigenous and tribal communities
• Anyone seeking recovery that honors both spiritual depth and cultural roots

Unlike ordinary meditation books, this one is organized by the seasons—Summer Solstice, Harvest Time, Winter Solstice, and Spring Equinox—following the natural rhythms of the Maya Tzolkin rather than the Gregorian calendar. There are no page numbers. Let Spirit guide you: open to any meditation, or journey through all 280 days and begin again.

Illustrated by Christine Sundly of the Menominee Nation, these meditations invite you to visualize sobriety, balance, and connection in a way that feels respectful, inclusive, and profoundly healing—whether you walk the Red Road, the 12 Steps, or both.

A trusted tool for recovery that goes beyond reading… and into seeing and living the principles every day.

About the Author

This recovery meditation book was years in its creation and put together by many indigenous peoples from around the globe. We paired a 12 Step Principle to a tribal adage or quoted the wisdom of our Elders. This work truly is the product of many people's and there is no one author of the spiritual principles inherited from our ancestors.The illustrtor is a lovely youn Menominee Nation woman who studies the sacred meaning of symbols and incorporates them into her art. Christine Sndly is not only talented and dedicated in the ways of her nation, but a fabulous mother and wife now living in Alaska.
