The Four Noble Truths of Recovery: A Buddhist Approach to Healing Addiction with Kevin Griffin

Draw on the wisdom of the Buddhist tradition and mindfulness meditation to support the path of recovery.

Buddhist teachings focus on letting go of what causes suffering, our ego-centered cravings. The Four Noble Truths are the fundamental tool for this work. During this retreat, we will look deeply into each stage of this process, linking the Buddhist path to the path of recovery. Mindfulness meditation will anchor our exploration, giving those at every stage of recovery vital tools for dealing with the challenges of a clean and sober life. This workshop is ideal for anyone familiar with 12-Step programs, whether a “newcomer,” an “old-timer” or someone “in between.”

Kevin Griffin was trained as a Community Dharma Leader at Spirit Rock Meditation Center, in Woodacre, California, and is co-founder of the Buddhist Recovery Network. He is the author of One Breath at a Time: Buddhism and the Twelve Steps and A Burning Desire: Dharma, God and the Path of Recovery.
