Foundations of Recovery

Geremy Johnson is an author, visionary builder, and justice-informed creative whose work stands at the intersection of recovery, reentry, and radical transformation. As the Founder and Creative Lead of Turning 365, Inc., and the Founder of Turning Around LLC, he designs sustainable, trauma-informed systems that empower returning citizens, recovery communities, and individuals navigating adversity. His leadership is rooted in lived experience, legal rigor, and a deep commitment to building pathways where healing becomes a lifestyle and transformation becomes an expectation.

A prolific writer, Geremy is the author of REVEAL (Realistic, Elegant, Vibrant, Exceptional, Astonishing & Loving), Becoming Dawn, I Built You in Silence, Foundation of Recovery, and eight additional works that explore astronomy, history, love, identity, resilience, and the architecture of becoming. His books blend poetic testimony with practical insight, offering readers both a mirror and a map. Across his catalog, Geremy writes with the conviction that every person carries a story powerful enough to rebuild their world.

In the Behavioral Health and Peer Recovery field, Geremy is recognized as a Peer Supervisor, Forensic Peer Trainer, and systems-level strategist with more than two decades of experience. Since entering long-term recovery in 2001 and beginning his professional peer journey in 2008, he has shaped training spaces across Virginia and beyond. His work champions P.E.E.R. (Providing Experience of an Everyday Reality), a philosophy that grounds recovery in authenticity, shared humanity, and lived truth.

Born in New York City and rooted in Virginia since the 1990s, Geremy has become a respected voice in trauma-informed education, reentry innovation, and community-centered advocacy. He is known for creating accessible learning tools, cinematic messaging, and testimony-driven content that resonates with youth, adults, and justice-impacted audiences. His creative process is collaborative, iterative, and deeply intentional, always pushing toward clarity, impact, and generational change.

Approaching 50, Geremy sees life as a sacred assignment. He honors it through reading, reflection, exercise, and the ongoing work of becoming. Whether he is building curriculum, writing poetry, or designing systems for transformation, his mission remains constant: to create spaces, stories, and structures where people can rise fully, freely, and without apology.
