Meditation for people in all forms of recovery (alcohol, food, drugs, shopping, TV, internet, gambling, depression, sex and love addiction and other compulsive addictive behaviours).

​

This virtual meditation evening is for people in recovery.  The sessions will be an opportunity to explore Buddhist meditation as a tool to help cultivate sobriety of mind.  Meditation for people with addiction issues or compulsive behaviours can help calm the mind and heal the heart.

Guided by Dharmacharini Vimalasara with a team of people who are in recovery. 

​Eight Step Recovery is an alternative recovery program to the 12 step program of Alcoholic Anonymous. It uses the Buddhist Teachings to overcome addiction. This Eight Step program  is a set of mindfulness teachings outlining a suggested course of action for recovery from addiction, stinking thinking, negative mental states, and  compulsive and obsessive behaviours.

This program was cofounded by Dr Valerie Mason-John M.A (hon.doc) and Dr Paramabandhu Groves Ph.D. in 2013, and published in their book: “Eight Step Recovery - Using the Buddha's teachings to overcome addiction”.

Times: 6:30pm to 8:00pm
