Buddhist mindfulness practices can support recovering addicts, alcoholics and anyone else dealing with addictive behaviors. We will connect the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path with Twelve Step recovery using meditation, lecture, dialogue and interactive exercises. We will explore how Buddhist teachings on wisdom and compassion can deepen our spiritual lives and reinforce the sacred state of sobriety. This extended retreat will also allow for deepening our meditation practice. All are welcome—those new to recovery and oldtimers. Introductory meditation instruction will be offered.
