“La sobrietà è trovare un nuovo modo di vivere che implichi l’impegno laddove c’era ritiro; generosità dove c’era egocentrismo; comunità dove c’era isolamento; gioia dove c'era amarezza; trust where there was cynicism.”

– Kevin Griffin, Un respiro alla volta: Buddismo e i Dodici Passi

The Heart of Recovery is a meditation and discussion group with the purpose of bringing together the practice of meditation, the Shambhala and Buddhist teachings, e il 12 Steps of recovery. We focus on sharing our experience while bringing together meditation practice with our individual paths of recovery from addiction.

The meeting is open to all, Compreso:

• Anyone interested in exploring the relationship of meditation to the recovery from addictive behaviors
• Praticanti buddisti di qualsiasi tradizione
• 12 Step practitioners from any program

We welcome all individuals who are committed to working with their addictive and compulsive behaviors. This group is open to anyone who is interested in exploring how the path of meditation and the path of recovery intersect.

No meditation experience is necessary, and brief meditation instruction is given at the start of each meeting. I nuovi arrivati ​​impareranno le tecniche di meditazione di base per migliorare, non sostituire, their own recovery program. Experienced meditators will discover new ways to deepen their current practice while supporting the group.

Meeting format includes:

• Sitting meditation instruction and practice
• A topic offering in the form of a brief share or reading by the facilitator
• Discussione ed esplorazione da parte dei membri del gruppo
• Condividendo la nostra esperienza personale, forza, e speranza
