CONNECTION IS THE CURE :
HOLISTIC ADDICTION SUPPORT
Karin Burns created The Six Step System after seeing the need for holistic and proactive support for those concerned about their drinking, screentime, and other harmful habits but aren't interested in using the traditional Twelve Step System.
For years Karin, a former technology professional, used alcohol, work, travel and dating apps to escape the pain following her traumatic divorce.
Since she didn’t meet the criteria for an alcoholic or addict, sobriety was never suggested until she started seeing a holistic therapist in 2016.
Karin tried and failed to stop drinking with the help of her therapist and the traditional Twelve Step system. She made the difficult decision to enter in-patient treatment in early 2017.
At the non-12 step holistic treatment center she was finally able to access the therapeutic interventions she had needed many years earlier.
Karin has spent the past seven years researching addiction, recovery options and used her professional skillset in solution consulting to design The Six Step System as an alternative to the traditional approach.
FREE TRIAL AVAILABLE NOW
The Six Step System offers an elevated experience that feels more like a luxury wellness retreat than a traditional addiction meeting.
Members of The Six Step System enjoy weekly crystal sound baths, wellness circles and breathwork experiences that focus on healing to the cellular level.
Unlike the traditional system, The Six Steps do not require anyone to identify as an addict or alcoholic and the system is not anonymous. Karin believes the time has come to move recovery out of secrecy and shame and into the modern world.
Instead of focusing only on a spiritual awakening the Six Step system is focused on total transformation of mind, body and soul. Additionally it connects the dots between trauma and addiction by sharing the latest findings and research on the topic.
The environment is not one of tough love, negativity or hopelessness. Instead it's upbeat, joyful and full of laughter and connection.
During the seven years between leaving rehab and releasing the The Six Steps, Karin extensively researched various types of therapy and interventions, including the traditional Twelve Steps.
She was most impressed with the power of sound, especially crystal sound baths, as they are able to provide immediate relief for cravings, anxiety, and stress compared to the traditional talk-focused meetings that often can feel hopeless, confusing and invasive.
After she personally experienced dramatic results from sound baths Karin became a certified sound healer in 2019 to share the power of sound with friends and family.
In late 2023 Karin created SOUNDBAR, a sober curious in-person sound bath pop-up that provides a much needed opportunity to recharge and reconnect with other members while tasting alcohol-free wines, beers and spirits from around the world.
Since the technology we use everyday is created to be addictive, we can no longer see addiction as something only people with drug and alcohol problems need to be conferenced about. Digital addiction awareness and prevention is something we all need to be taking action on.
Our primary purpose is to end the stigma attached to seeking professional help for addiction and to normalize speaking openly about addiction instead of keeping our struggles and success anonymous.
