Craving and the End of Craving: A Buddhist Approach to Working with Addiction

September 30, 2018 @ 10:00 am - 4:00 pm

with Shahara Godfrey and Walt Opie

Open to all in recovery

During this daylong, we will explore craving and the end of craving—offering ways to help heal addiction inspired by Buddhist teachings. We will incorporate Eight Step Recovery as developed by Dr. Valerie Mason-John, which offers a Buddhist approach for working with addiction and obsessive thinking. We will practice specific meditation techniques to help you overcome addiction. Through these practices we hope you gain a practice that can sustain you in your recovery.

We ask that you attend this daylong sober for the mutual respect of others who may be actively in recovery.
