ESN EDUCATION
Today with our contemporary society with so much going on and so many areas we could delve into, it is easy to be overwhelmed. That often causes us not to be able to do anything. We may become stuck. Time just ticks by and we may feel a bothersome resistance even to just move our selves. We can strive to remedy this condition.
What does that have to do with education? There is a portion of education where we prepare ourselves intellectually for a better life. We at Emerald Star Network stress a path to find peace and solace after tragedy from substance abuse. That pursuit betters our life. We endeavor to live free from turmoil.

“With self-improvement and learning, if I am not moving forward, I am really going backward”- Richard Luthmann, Founder
The Emerald Star Path: to Find Peace and Solace After Tragedy from Substance Abuse.
Education at the Emerald Star Network is an exploration of some key elements of the human condition. The fatal loss of a loved one or friend is the most obvious matter to attend to and we extend a helping hand to guide you. The strength of our approach is the valued input of many people with varying backgrounds and vast experiences telling their unique story. Many ancient cultures used stories to perpetuate knowledge, customs, morality and to entertain their people. Seems that this method has worked for the millennium and has functioned very well for our purposes thus far.
By assisting you, we at Emerald Star Network also assist ourselves. Pride and accomplishment along with the therapeutic value of sharing such a heartfelt narrative is a joyous phenomenon for our members. Showing growth and overcoming difficult obstacles is also conveyed which aids in our growth and understanding. In this way we also honor our loved ones and friends by explaining how we truly feel about their life and their importance to our lives.
We are fortunate to have vast avenues of knowledge to explore with many formats. Without getting into specific programs, websites, or podcasts, we can say that many are helpful and very appropriate and would advise exploring these outlets.
It is important to be sure you give yourself a break and have ample time for relaxation and recuperation. “Moving toward our own peace and solace” is a key element of the Emerald Star Network Path. Please, at times give yourself permission to decompress from what you view as burdens in your life. With time we have found joy will seep in more and more. When it does give yourself permission to embrace it.
Life is so valued and time is so swift, we at times lose grip of its unforgiving march forward. This may be a good time to pay attention to our lives and our surroundings with a new appreciation. With a few changes and encouragement, we can move further on the path to peace and solace.
