You are welcome here
You don't need to be Buddhist, or know how to meditate.
What to expect
Open, honest sharing. Mindful meditation. Practical tools. A supportive community. We open with introductions and short readings, sit in a guided meditation of about ten minutes, then hear a topic and open the floor for sharing.
Who it's for
Anyone recovering from addiction of any kind, including alcohol, drugs, food, gambling, relationships, screens and more. Many of us also attend other meetings or work with a therapist. All of that is welcome.
Our approach
We draw from Buddhist teachings like mindfulness, compassion and wisdom, and apply them to everyday life. Nobody here is a teacher or an expert. We are people in recovery who meet to practice together.
Recovery is possible.
“The path to recovery is not about perfection, but about showing up with an open heart, again and again.”
A few things that help
- You never have to share. Saying "I'll pass" is always fine.
- We don't comment on or give advice about anyone else's share.
- What is said here, and who was here, stays here.
- If something comes up during meditation, open your eyes, shift, or step out. Take care of yourself.
- There is no cost. A basket is passed for dana, the practice of generosity. Give only if and what you can.
The Path
Twelve weeks, one step at a time.
Each Wednesday has a topic that builds self-compassion and stability before the harder work. Tap a week to see its meditation and reflection questions. Come to one, or come to all twelve.
