LET IT GO: A WINTER PARTY

December 20 • Recovery Works • Drexel Hill, PA

Free parking & Childcare!

This winter, we’re creating a space where everyone can take a deep breath, shake off the year, and enjoy a cozy, judgment-free night of connection, fun, and fresh starts. Whether you’re in recovery, supporting someone who is, surviving a tough season, or just needing a place to be yourself for a couple hours — you’re welcome here.

This isn’t a heavy, formal workshop.

This is a party-meets-wellness-night-meets-winter-fest designed to help us all unwind, laugh, create, and let go of whatever we don’t want to carry into the new year.

Enjoy a fun mix of meaningful and lighthearted activities, including a “Let It Go” station to release the stress of 2025, winter crafts, a cozy cocoa bar, a community snowfall wall with uplifting prompts, a good-vibes photo booth, and a quiet corner to unwind. We will also have a space for children to watch Frozen!

WHO THIS IS FOR?

• People in recovery

• People who support someone in recovery

• People who’ve had a rough year

• People who are proud of getting through 2025

• People who feel lonely during the holidays

• People who want community

• People who love a good winter vibe

• People who want to laugh, create, sip cocoa, and relax

• People who just want to be themselves

No requirements. No judgment. No expectations.
Just show up.

Join us for A Winter Reset, a free after-school event for teens 14 and up with cozy vibes, creative activities, and cocoa, where everyone can relax, connect, create, and be themselves before winter break.
