    Buddhism and the 12-steps of Recovery
    We are firmly protected from inside. That is our spirit. We are protected from inside, always, incessantly. – “Not Always So”— Shunryu Suzuki Roshi

    Ordinary Recovery, an ongoing class and discussion group exploring the relationship between Buddhist meditation and the 12-steps of recovery, is held Saturdays at 9 AM at the Carl Cherry Center for the Arts. Through talks, discussions and meditation, we investigate the many points of convergence between the 12-steps and the teaching and practice of Buddhism. Meditation can be a powerful tool in relapse prevention and can become a “positive addiction” that provides a healthy alternative to addictive behaviors.
