True Path Healing Center

A residential aftercare and transitional healing program supporting long-term recovery, integration, and successful life re-entry after intensive treatment.

True Path is a residential aftercare and integrative healing center supporting people during the vulnerable transition after intensive treatment, illness, or major life disruption. This period, when formal support ends but full independence may not yet be steady, is often overlooked. True Path exists to provide structure, continuity, and space, bridging the gap between intensive care and a confident return to daily life.

True Path operates on a two-layer model:

1. Core Daily Rhythm

The core program provides the foundations for genuine
wellbeing and long-term recovery. It establishes safety,
consistency, confidence and nervous system regulation
through…”

A consistent daily schedule
Gentle somatic and mindfulness-based practices
Light group connection without emotional pressure
Time for rest, reflection, and embodied integration
Structured independence (practice living, not avoidance)

This rhythm creates a stable baseline from which real-life skills can re-emerge.

2. Individualized Health & Support Track

Alongside the core rhythm, each resident follows a personalized health track, designed collaboratively based on their history, needs, and capacity and drawing on a comprehensive group of healing modalities.

Individual tracks may include:

Retreats

True Path offers immersive, ND-led retreats and thoughtfully curated partnership retreats, all held within a clinically grounded, integrative environment. Each experience blends medical oversight with restorative and experiential practices, creating a safe, inspiring space for deep renewal, learning, and meaningful integration.

The Land Matters

True Path is nestled in Northern Arizona near the Sedona Red Rocks, close to Sedona’s beauty, yet grounded in the quieter, greener calm of Camp Verde. Wide skies, ancient cottonwoods, and a slower pace invite a natural exhale, creating space to rest, reflect, and reset. For generations, people have been drawn to this region by something they cannot quite name, a feeling of openness, perspective, and connection that seems woven into the land itself. Whether it is the landscape, the silence, or simply the chance to step away from the noise of everyday life, many discover that healing feels a little more accessible here. This is more than a beautiful setting; it is a place where transformation is gently invited.

Our Team

True Path is led by B. Forrest Shenkman, NMD, a licensed Naturopathic Medical Doctor with extensive experience in integrative medicine, lifestyle-based healing, and whole-person care. As Medical Director, he provides clinical oversight and helps guide each guest’s healing journey through a thoughtful blend of evidence-informed medicine, natural therapeutics, and individualized support.

Surrounding him is a diverse, collaborative team of practitioners, guides, and support staff, each bringing their own expertise, curiosity, and personality to the healing process. From medical and integrative care to movement, body-based work, and day-to-day support, our team works together with ease, humor, and genuine care. You’ll feel it right away: this is a place where professionalism and warmth coexist, and where people truly enjoy showing up for the work, and for each other.
