Wrecked America

Wrecked America is where the latent powerful characters found in 12 Step Recovery rooms come to life and share stories of how they navigate this thing called life and tackle their everyday issues and struggles. Wrecked America is where characters affirm: 

“…All of us…have been formed by experiences that still inhabit us. Memory is not only a trip but also a structure. Recollections are not only stories retold but also aspects of present feelings. Our hopes at any given moment are fashioned by our previous disappointments. Our need to share pain is as strong as our quest for pleasure. Every pain that is not purely physical is also retrospective. Our need to make sense of our lives has continually to take account of all this…” – John Berger 

Wrecked America is where fallible badass characters pursue ‘In-Spite-of-Dreams’ and seek to transform themselves and the world with the heroic stories they live and tell. Wrecked America is where these characters throw off the shackles of seeing themselves as bad people trying to become good or sick people trying to get well. Wrecked America is where these characters Embrace the Gift of their Faults and boldly proclaim to the world, We are Better for Having Been Broken BadAsses. 

Your business with the Moving the World Cooperative supports this foundational transformation and character development work. To hear some of these stories, listen to our podcast interviews with the Hunter.
