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.

SUMMARY:IN-PERSON: Gather & Ground: Compassionate Community Building
DESCRIPTION:Gather & Ground: Compassionate Community Building \nTuesdays\, Thursdays\, and Fridays \n5-7 PM PT \nIn person only \n  \nJanuary 2026 note: Dear Sangha\, coming together is a form of resistance. Let’s ground and regroup in community with meditation and in solidarity. After which we will gather and discuss  ways to respond.  Art supplies to make signs of resistance are available. We can brainstorm ways to use our voices. Or provide a shoulder to cry on.  \n  \nWe now have the center open every Tuesday\, Thursday and Friday from 5-7pm. The first hour (5-6pm) will be for meditation in our temple or compassion room space or to peruse our library offerings. The second hour (6-6:45pm) will be for a fun social potluck in the kitchen space. Everyone is encouraged to bring something to share with the group. We hope this effort will build some momentum and energy for EBMC and bring more people in our community together in-person. \n  \nGenerally\, you can also expect to see: art on Tuesdays\, movement on Thursdays\, and occasional open mics on Fridays! \n  \nThese new community building hours are the same evenings as our Alphabet (Tuesdays 7pm)\, BIPOC (Thursdays 7pm) and Maha Sanghas (Fridays 7pm) so we hope this effort will also encourage people to join those groups with a hope to generate enough attendance to bring them back to in-person every week! This was also based on feedback from the survey. See more info about our Practice Groups here.  \n  \nThere are so many reasons to be in community right now and EBMC wants to support this by opening our space during these times to anyone who needs it. We are stronger when we are in solidarity together to meet the moment we are in. We hope to see you soon! Come practice. Come snack. Come as you are. Feel free to bring a friend!

SUMMARY:IN-PERSON: Gather & Ground: Compassionate Community Building
DESCRIPTION:Gather & Ground: Compassionate Community Building \nTuesdays\, Thursdays\, and Fridays \n5-7 PM PT \nIn person only \n  \nJanuary 2026 note: Dear Sangha\, coming together is a form of resistance. Let’s ground and regroup in community with meditation and in solidarity. After which we will gather and discuss  ways to respond.  Art supplies to make signs of resistance are available. We can brainstorm ways to use our voices. Or provide a shoulder to cry on.  \n  \nWe now have the center open every Tuesday\, Thursday and Friday from 5-7pm. The first hour (5-6pm) will be for meditation in our temple or compassion room space or to peruse our library offerings. The second hour (6-6:45pm) will be for a fun social potluck in the kitchen space. Everyone is encouraged to bring something to share with the group. We hope this effort will build some momentum and energy for EBMC and bring more people in our community together in-person. \n  \nGenerally\, you can also expect to see: art on Tuesdays\, movement on Thursdays\, and occasional open mics on Fridays! \n  \nThese new community building hours are the same evenings as our Alphabet (Tuesdays 7pm)\, BIPOC (Thursdays 7pm) and Maha Sanghas (Fridays 7pm) so we hope this effort will also encourage people to join those groups with a hope to generate enough attendance to bring them back to in-person every week! This was also based on feedback from the survey. See more info about our Practice Groups here.  \n  \nThere are so many reasons to be in community right now and EBMC wants to support this by opening our space during these times to anyone who needs it. We are stronger when we are in solidarity together to meet the moment we are in. We hope to see you soon! Come practice. Come snack. Come as you are. Feel free to bring a friend!

SUMMARY:IN-PERSON: Gather & Ground: Compassionate Community Building
DESCRIPTION:Gather & Ground: Compassionate Community Building \nTuesdays\, Thursdays\, and Fridays \n5-7 PM PT \nIn person only \n  \nJanuary 2026 note: Dear Sangha\, coming together is a form of resistance. Let’s ground and regroup in community with meditation and in solidarity. After which we will gather and discuss  ways to respond.  Art supplies to make signs of resistance are available. We can brainstorm ways to use our voices. Or provide a shoulder to cry on.  \n  \nWe now have the center open every Tuesday\, Thursday and Friday from 5-7pm. The first hour (5-6pm) will be for meditation in our temple or compassion room space or to peruse our library offerings. The second hour (6-6:45pm) will be for a fun social potluck in the kitchen space. Everyone is encouraged to bring something to share with the group. We hope this effort will build some momentum and energy for EBMC and bring more people in our community together in-person. \n  \nGenerally\, you can also expect to see: art on Tuesdays\, movement on Thursdays\, and occasional open mics on Fridays! \n  \nThese new community building hours are the same evenings as our Alphabet (Tuesdays 7pm)\, BIPOC (Thursdays 7pm) and Maha Sanghas (Fridays 7pm) so we hope this effort will also encourage people to join those groups with a hope to generate enough attendance to bring them back to in-person every week! This was also based on feedback from the survey. See more info about our Practice Groups here.  \n  \nThere are so many reasons to be in community right now and EBMC wants to support this by opening our space during these times to anyone who needs it. We are stronger when we are in solidarity together to meet the moment we are in. We hope to see you soon! Come practice. Come snack. Come as you are. Feel free to bring a friend!

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.
