SUMMARY:Starting Over: Recovery and the Courage to Begin Again
DESCRIPTION:Recovery is not about perfection. It’s about beginning again—again and again. In this month’s BRN Academy talk Silasiri explores the courage and compassion it takes to let go of the past\, return to the present\, and choose a new way forward. The Buddha’s teachings remind us that each moment is a fresh start. With beginner’s mind and self-compassion\, we can create a healing environment that supports growth\, resilience\, and recovery.  \n\nSilasiri engaged with the Buddhist Recovery Network in early 2018 as it launched its maiden year of Academy talks\, and greatly enjoyed co-hosting this monthly program through 2021. By way of meditation\, Dharma study and a beautiful and supportive Sangha\, she moved into recovery from childhood trauma\, substance abuse\, and self-loathing\, and continues to deepen her understanding of compassionate healing as taught by the Buddha and shared by the recovery community. A long-time peace and environmental activist and animal lover\, Silasiri was ordained into the Triratna Buddhist Movement in May 2021.  She’s an accounting manager for nonprofits\, and currently serves as the BRN’s Board President and Interim Treasurer. She supports Dharma study\, anti-racism work\, and Eco-Sattva training within her Sangha and in the community at large\, and embraces the dana economy for all the freely given resources that it circulates among us.

SUMMARY:A Place Between: What's Along the Middle Way?
DESCRIPTION:The Buddha revealed to us an eight-fold path as a way to work with and move beyond suffering\, a way to be in recovery from the three poisons in all their many forms.  How do we embrace this middle way of being with curiosity\, awareness and engagement\, and what does it reveal to us along the way?  Let’s notice the qualities of the change that comes as a result of our efforts.  Let’s practice widening our view to see the distances we’ve traveled\, how we’re becoming\, what energizes our practice and gives life to our regular steps along the way.
