SUMMARY:Online: A Verified Kind of Faith – Buddhism & Addiction Recovery with Walt Opie
DESCRIPTION:Online: A Verified Kind of Faith – Buddhism & Addiction Recovery\nwith Walt Opie \nThursday\, June 5\, 2025 | 6:30pm – 8:30pm ET (via Zoom) \nFor many of us in recovery from addiction\, the word “faith” can conjure up memories of being forced to participate in organized religion or it can feel related to a so-called “higher power.” \nWhen Buddhist teachings refer to faith\, it’s different. The Buddha himself discouraged people from acting out of blind faith. Instead\, Buddhism describes three ways that faith\, or confidence\, can manifest or build over time\, including: bright faith\, verified faith\, and unshakeable faith. \nAccording to the well-known teacher Gil Fronsdal\, faith in Buddhism is not a belief system but a faculty or a capacity we have that we can develop further. In fact\, faith\, just like recovery\, can be a kind of empowerment. With support from the teachings and others on similar journeys\, we learn how to trust our inner wisdom. We gain a new kind of inner confidence. \nDuring this program\, we will explore the three different types of faith\, as well as how faith in the Buddhist teachings and practices can help keep us on the path of recovery. There will be guided meditation\, a dharma talk\, and time for sharing and discussion. \nPlease join us for this special evening of learning to strengthen our inner resources through the Buddhist teachings.

SUMMARY:Building a Foundation for Freedom
DESCRIPTION:When we are caught in addictive behaviors\, we’re often acting from habits that have been strengthened over the years\, and which can be difficult to break. The Buddha’s teaching on liberation and awakening\, the Eightfold Path\, also offers us a path to freedom from these habits.  When we intentionally use this path as a roadmap for how we move through the world\, we are building a foundation that is strong and serves us in all aspects of our lives. It’s a foundation that offers freedom from addiction. \n

SUMMARY:Walking the Path of Recovery: Buddhism & the 12 Steps
DESCRIPTION:with Margaret Jones Callahan and Brian Callahan\nThe path of Dharma and the path of recovery complement each other and work together to support and deepen sobriety. Buddhism and the 12 Steps each offer a template or method for one’s personal\, spiritual journey. Both Buddhism and the 12 Steps begin with looking at life on its own terms: either acknowledging life’s unmanageability (as in Step 1) or acknowledging the truth of suffering. Both paths lead to the discovery of joy\, compassion\, and a deeper spiritual relationship to the world. Both Buddhism and the 12 Steps shine a light onto the path towards freedom. \nRegistration and more information

SUMMARY:Joys & Sorrows of Addictions & Recovery with Shannon Smith
DESCRIPTION:Life can be challenging for all of us and finding the resources to live well isn’t always obvious . Our inability to do so often manifests in some form of addictive behavior; attempts to avoid\, change\, or control our painful experiences that we encounter haunt too many women. Various forms of addiction recovery have been developed to meet this crisis\, pointing to solutions ranging from spirituality\, community\, therapy\, prayer and meditation. Those who have found a lasting and meaningful form of recovery acknowledge the long journey from suffering to happiness. \nDuring this retreat we will explore and uncover the many sorrows and joys of addiction and recovery. Utilizing a simple approach\, we will develop\, discuss\, and practice Mindfulness and various contemplative exercises. The program will provide teaching sessions\, interactive dialog\, Q&A and time for solo practice on the land at Ghost Ranch. \nAs women we will embrace the opportunity to practice together and engage in dialogue about our experience of addiction and recovery

SUMMARY:Returning to Our Luminosity: The Aggañña Sutta & Breaking Free from Binding Ways
DESCRIPTION:Meditation and Dharma Talk with time for Q & A \nThe Aggañña Sutta offers a striking lens through which we can understand how systems of power\, craving\, and division take root—both in the world and within ourselves. This teaching traces the movement from a time of luminosity and ease into a world shaped by grasping\, hierarchy\, and suffering. How does this sutta help us better understand the forces of capitalism\, oppression\, and instability that reinforce patterns of craving? And more importantly\, how can we break free from the binding ways that keep us caught in cycles of suffering? Through this teaching\, we will examine how recognizing the constructed nature of the world and our conditioned responses allows us to loosen the grip of craving and move toward a truer liberation.
