Heart of Recovery: 12 Step Meeting

Heart of Recovery is in person only. In person participants must follow the current pandemic safety measures.

Mondays, 7:30-9:00 pm
See the 2024 program schedule here

A weekly gathering bringing together Buddhist meditation practice and recovery. Open to all – meditation practitioners from all traditions and Twelve Step practitioners from all programs.

We use the principles of Council (a talking stick) practice and The Twelve Step traditions (no cross talk & anonymity) to:

~ Meditate with others who are in recovery or exploring recovery

~ Offer contemplations which inspire our recovery and support our practices

~ Share our personal experience, strength and courage

~ Integrate the basic goodness of meditation with our commitment to recovery

‘Sobriety is finding a new way of living that involves engagement where there was withdrawal; generosity where there was self-centeredness; community where there was isolation; joy where there was bitterness; trust where there was cynicism.’
~ Kevin Griffin, One Breath at a Time: Buddhism and the Twelve Steps
