AwareNow Presents 'ALIGN' w/Damkianna Featuring Justin Gurland in 'Uncompromising Connection'

In a city that never sleeps, where networking often happens over cocktails and connection is filtered through loud bars, something radically different is rising. The Maze is not just an alcohol-free private members club in New York City. It is a cultural shift.So what happens when sobriety evolves beyond abstinence and becomes a movement rooted in connection, creativity, and conscious community?At the center of it is Justin Gurland.Justin’s sobriety journey began at 25, at a time when he believed life without substances would feel small, empty, or maybe even unbearable. What he discovered instead was expansion. After years in recovery, he had a breakthrough that changed everything. The opposite of addiction is not just sobriety, it is connection.That realization shaped his life’s work.With over 15 years as a licensed master social worker specializing in substance abuse, and 16 years of lived sobriety, Justin has helped countless individuals rebuild their lives through meaningful relationships and community. The Maze is the embodiment of that philosophy. A high-design, high-vibration private members club redefining social life without alcohol. A new American restaurant, elevated coffee, weekly events, curated gatherings, and monthly cornerstone groups where entrepreneurs, parents, creatives, and leaders meet in intentional community.It is for the sober, the sober curious, the wellness focused, the high performers who want clarity, the founders who want depth, and the humans who are done pretending that connection requires a drink in their hand.The Maze is proof that sobriety is not an ending. It is a powerful beginning. And in the heart of New York City, it is building something unforgettable.Featured in 'The Fearless Edition' of AwareNow Magazine: www.awarenowmagazine.comGuest: Justin GurlandHost: DamkiannaMusic by: DamkiannaProduced by: AwareNow MediaSponsored by: Truth & Justice League
