The Practice of Recovery:Buddhism and the 12-StepsKevin Griffin

Buddhist mindfulness practices can support recovering addicts,

alcoholics and anyone dealing with addictive behaviors. We will connect

the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path with the principles of

Twelve Step recovery using meditation, lecture, dialogue and interactive

exercises. We will explore how Buddhist teachings on wisdom and

compassion can deepen our spiritual lives and reinforce the sacred state

of sobriety. All are welcome, those new to recovery and those with long

experience. Introductory meditation instruction will be offered.

Tuition $210 + 8 nights
