A weekly gathering bringing together Buddhist meditation practice and recovery. Open to all – meditation practitioners from all traditions and Twelve Step practitioners from all programs.
We use the principles of Council (a talking stick) practice and The Twelve Step traditions (no cross talk & anonymity) to:
~ Meditate with others who are in recovery or exploring recovery
~ Offer contemplations which inspire our recovery and support our practices
~ Share our personal experience, strength and courage
~ Integrate the basic goodness of meditation with our commitment to recovery
‘Sobriety is finding a new way of living that involves engagement where there was withdrawal; generosity where there was self-centeredness; community where there was isolation; joy where there was bitterness; trust where there was cynicism.’
~ Kevin Griffin, One Breath at a Time: Buddhism and the Twelve Steps
