Exploring Addictions Through the Lens of the Buddhist and Wisdom Teachings

March 4, 2017 @ 10:00 am - 4:00 pm

Open to all in recovery

with Shahara Godfrey and Vimalasara (Valerie) Mason-John

During this one-day retreat we will explore, from a cross-cultural approach, ways to heal addiction. We will introduce you to the eight steps to recovery by Dr. Mason-John and practice specific meditation and wisdom teachings to work with our addiction. 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. Through these practices we hope you gain a practice that can sustain you in your recovery.

We ask that you attend this daylong sober with respect for others that may be actively in recovery.
