The Practice of Recovery: A Buddhist Approach to Living Free from Addiction

On this daylong retreat we will explore the connections between Buddhist teachings and the path of recovery. Our focus will be mindfulness practices that can support recovering addicts, alcoholics, and anyone else dealing with addictive behaviors. We will connect the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path with Twelve Step and other recovery tools, using meditation, lecture, dialog, and interactive exercises.  

Kevin Griffin is the author of a series of books on Dharma and recovery, including One Breath at a Time: Buddhism and the Twelve Steps and his latest, Buddhism and the Twelve Steps Daily Reflections. A longtime Buddhist practitioner and 12 Step participant, he is a leader in the mindful recovery movement and one of the founders of the Buddhist Recovery Network. Kevin teaches internationally in Buddhist centers, treatment centers, professional conferences, and academic settings.
