“Sobriedade é encontrar uma nova forma de viver que envolve engajamento onde havia retraimento; generosidade onde havia egocentrismo; comunidade onde havia isolamento; alegria onde havia amargura; confiança onde havia cinismo.”

– Kevin Griffin, Uma respiração de cada vez: Budismo e os Doze Passos

The Heart of Recovery is a meditation and discussion group with the purpose of bringing together the practice of meditation, os ensinamentos de Shambhala e budistas, e a 12 Etapas de recuperação. 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, Incluindo:

• Anyone interested in exploring the relationship of meditation to the recovery from addictive behaviors
• Praticantes budistas de qualquer tradição
• 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. Os recém-chegados aprenderão técnicas básicas de meditação para melhorar, não substituir, 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
• Discussão e exploração pelos membros do grupo
• Compartilhando nossa experiência pessoal, força, e esperança

No need to register and there is no charge for the meetings, but donations to the operating costs of the Center are welcome.
