Recovery Dharma, a peer-led group that uses Buddhist practices and principles to find freedom from the suffering of addiction. The program uses The Four Noble Truths and The Eightfold Path as a guide for recovery. Meetings are a chance to come together to support recovery through mindfulness, self-inquiry, meditation, study of the Dharma, listening, and building community.
Each meeting offers short readings, a 15-20 minute meditation, and group sharing in a compassionate, non-judgmental space. Attendees are asked to respect the anonymity and confidentiality of all participants.
Who is it for?
Recovery Dharma welcomes anyone seeking to heal from addiction and addictive behavior, including substance use or process addictions such as gambling, compulsive use of sex or relationships, technology, codependency, eating disorders, self-harm, or other habitual patterns causing suffering.
You do not have to identify as a Buddhist or have prior meditation experience to attend.
