European Scientology participate to the Faith and Freedom Summit IV in the Parliament of Latin America

Published

Brussels, Brussels, Belgium, 3rd Oct 2024 – The European Office of the Church of Scientology for Public Affairs and Human Rights co-organized and participated to the Faith and Freedom Summit IV, in Panama, in the Parliament of Latin America. 

On September 24 and 25, the Parliament of Latin America hosted the fourth Faith and Freedom Summit, after the European Parliament hosted the first three summits. The Faith & Freedom Summit is an initiative that gathers high-level thought-leaders to highlight the importance of freedom of religion or belief (FoRB).

The purpose of the initiative is to create a space where to exchange good practices to further protect FoRB for all, to highlight the importance of States respecting, protecting, defending, and promoting FoRB to fight inequality and thus help the construction of stable and strong democracies, to create awareness of FoRB violations and discrimination based on religious beliefs around the world, to assess areas that need to be improved regarding religious freedom protection worldwide, to develop a force of proposal to outline policies toward a greater respect of religious diversity and to further promote and engage participants with the motto of the Summit “Practicing what we preach.”

In Panama, the opening ceremony was made UN Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Religion or Belief Dr Nazila Ghanea (who participated online), His Excellency Ruben Farje, Representative to Panama for the Organization of American States (OAS), His Excellency Juan Francisco Borrell Cal, Vice-minister of Government Republic of Panama, and Rev. Giselle Lima, Co-Chair of the International Religious Freedom Roundtable in Panama.

Then for two days, some forty speakers from Latin America, the USA and Europe took to the stage to cover several topics around freedom of religion or belief, including Nazila Ghanea, UN Special Rapporteur of Freedom of Religion or Belief, Mrs. Maureen Ferguson, Commissioner of USCIRF, Dr Thomas Schirrmacher, co-President of Religions for Peace, and many others. The panelists represented a wide variety of diplomats, politicians, religious scholars, journalists and representatives of many faiths, including indigenous spirituality, the Catholic Church, Evangelicals, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Say Saints, Judaism, Islam, Sikhs, Shiva Hindus, etc.

The President of the European Office of the Church of Scientology for Public Affairs and Human Rights, Mr. Ivan Arjona-Pelado, was the moderator of a panel dedicated to explore the role of diplomacy to achieve a greater FoRB in the world, presented the booklet www.whatisfreedomofreligion.org and stressed the need of an informed diplomacy and a strong advocacy for FoRB to increase the respect of this crucial human right in a world that sees restrictions to religious freedom in the rise. He was accompanied by several diplomats who themselves engage in advocacy for FoRB throughout their mission, and gave their expertise to the attendees.

Rev. Eric Roux, Vice-President of the same office, was a speaker in a panel tackling the media responsibility on the promotion and respect of FoRB, along with journalists, media executives, human rights advocates and scholars. He insisted on the important role of media to report accurately and with a deep knowledge of the religious sphere, to avoid stigmatization and mischaracterization of religious groups around the world. 

The European Office of the Church of Scientology for Public Affairs and Human Rights is part of the Faith and Freedom Summit NGO coalition and a co-founder of the Summit. 

Freedom of religion and belief is a core value and commitment for Scientologists, and is explicitly articulated in Scientology scriptures. Church ministers must study other religions and become familiar with them, but moreover, the code of a Scientologist contains a pledge “to support freedom of religion” for all. The Church of Scientology’s commitment to religious freedom upholds the belief that true religious liberty includes the acceptance of others’ right to either maintain their faith or choose a new one.

For Scientologists, true freedom cannot exist without responsibility. Therefore, the Church believes that religious institutions have both the right and the obligation to contribute positively to society. In fact, Mr. L. Ron Hubbard, the Founder of the Scientology religion, asserted that a reduction in religious influence signals a decline in the cultural standards of a civilization.

That is why the European Office of the Church of Scientology for Public Affairs and Human Rights was very proud to co-organize this summit, and to participate to it, with the explicit purpose of advancing the cause of freedom of religion or belief for all, along with experts, policymakers, and people of faith from around the world.

Awkward Recovery Highlights the Importance of Trauma Therapy in Addiction Recovery

Published

on

Awkward Recovery, an Intensive Outpatient Program in Austin, Texas, is highlighting the importance of trauma therapy in addiction recovery. By addressing the root causes of addiction through trauma-informed care, Awkward Recovery empowers individuals to heal from past traumas and break free from destructive patterns. The program utilizes evidence-based therapies like EMDR and CBT, ensuring comprehensive support for sustainable recovery. Awkward Recovery’s mission is to provide a safe, compassionate environment where individuals can rebuild their lives. Contact Awkward Recovery at 512-872-4605 for more information.

Awkward Recovery, a leading Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) in Austin, is taking a bold and necessary step in the battle against addiction by incorporating trauma therapy as a central pillar of its recovery program. As research continues to highlight the deep connection between trauma and substance use disorders, Awkward Recovery recognizes the need for comprehensive treatment approaches that address trauma at its core, ensuring long-lasting sobriety and mental well-being.

The Link Between Trauma and Addiction

Trauma, whether experienced during childhood or adulthood, is a significant driving factor for many individuals struggling with addiction. Awkward Recovery’s trauma therapy is designed to help clients safely confront and process past traumas, allowing for more effective healing and recovery. Through this approach, clients are empowered to break free from the destructive patterns of substance abuse that are often rooted in unresolved emotional pain.

Rachel Stein, Clinical Director at Awkward Recovery, emphasizes the importance of this therapeutic method: “For many individuals, trauma is the unseen force fueling their addiction. Without addressing the root causes of substance use, recovery efforts can feel like trying to treat the symptoms without curing the disease. Trauma therapy provides our clients with the tools they need to heal from the inside out.”

How Trauma Therapy Works

Awkward Recovery utilizes a combination of evidence-based therapies such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to address trauma. These methods allow clients to process traumatic memories in a safe, controlled environment, reducing the emotional intensity associated with those memories. By helping individuals gain a new perspective on their past, trauma therapy encourages healthier coping mechanisms and a renewed sense of self-worth.

Awkward Recovery’s Mission

At the heart of Awkward Recovery’s mission is the belief that true recovery involves more than just abstaining from substances; it involves healing the whole person. The program is committed to providing trauma-informed care that not only addresses the physical aspects of addiction but also the emotional and psychological components. Awkward Recovery’s vision is to create a supportive environment where individuals can recover from addiction while developing resilience against future triggers.

A Program Built on Community and Compassion

Awkward Recovery is deeply embedded in the Austin community, offering tailored treatment programs that focus on the individual’s unique journey to recovery. The center’s approach is centered around creating a supportive space where clients feel safe to explore their past traumas, share their stories, and find strength in the collective healing process. Community, compassion, and comprehensive care are the cornerstones of Awkward Recovery’s IOP model.

Impact on the Austin Community

As Austin continues to battle the rise of substance abuse, Awkward Recovery’s trauma-informed approach offers a lifeline to those in need. The program’s commitment to addressing trauma is not just transformative for individuals but for the community as a whole. By helping clients achieve sustainable sobriety, Awkward Recovery is actively contributing to the broader effort to reduce addiction rates in the city.

“Trauma therapy is not just a treatment option—it’s a necessary component of the recovery journey for so many people. At Awkward Recovery, we’re passionate about providing the kind of care that addresses the full scope of addiction. We’re not just treating the symptoms; we’re addressing the root causes to create real, lasting change.”
