SUMMARY:ONLINE: 8 Step Buddhist Recovery Deep Refuge
DESCRIPTION:Every Saturday from 10AM – 11:30AM PST / PDT ONLINE \nCompassionate Dharma Deep Refuge Buddhist meetings focus on ways to heal addiction. Based on the Eight Steps to Recovery developed by Dr. Mason-John M.A (hon.doc) and Dr Groves\, we believe this inclusive approach can build a solid foundation for those at any level of recovery and for those who have yet to seek help. \nThrough these practices we hope you gain a practice that can sustain you in your recovery. \nWe are a multi-recovery space. Whether you are navigating addiction to substances like drugs and alcohol\, or process addictions\, such as disordered eating\, codependency\, or sex and love addiction–you are welcome here. \nAdvance Registration is not required. \nFor additional information\, please contact: ebmcrecovery at gmail dot com.
