Recovery coaching architecture

Lived experience is the starting qualification.

U-ACT trains people who have been through it to become recovery coaches, then deploys them as LEROs. Ubuntu and the Collins Window are the method. WhatsApp is how a person steps in.

Five lenses, in order.

Somatic first — safety in the body — then story, then the resources around a person, then the we, then purpose. Architecture is not a slogan. It is the order of the work.

  • 01 · Somatic

    Nervous system first. Breath, body, safety, co-regulation — before talk.

  • 02 · Cognitive

    Meaning, story, and choice. What the mind does once the body is online.

  • 03 · Recovery capital

    The resources around a person: housing, work, family, community, money, time.

  • 04 · Ubuntu

    I am because we are. Recovery is relational, not a solo sport.

  • 05 · Purpose

    Kokorozashi — the reason the work matters. Lived experience becoming vocation.
