Dharma and Recovery

Second Thursdays, October 15
12:00 – 1:00 p.m. PDT
In Center Only

This group is a peer-led Buddhist recovery Sangha exploring Buddhist practices and principles in recovery from addiction, including 12-Step and other paths.We draw from these wisdom traditions, while particularly exploring how the Dharma and Buddhist practice can deepen and support recovery. Each gathering includes 15–20 minutes of sitting meditation, a brief offering or reading by the facilitator, and open discussion and exploration, with members sharing their experience, strength, and hope.

Whether you are new to meditation or recovery, or have been on this path for many years, you are welcome. This is a space for practice, study, connection, and mutual support. We consider confidentiality essential for creating a safe and supportive space. Facilitated by Ann Peruzzi.
