Exploring Addictions . . . Through the Lens of Buddhist and Indigenous Wisdom Teachings

February 21, 2016 @ 9:30 am - 5:30 pm

Open to all in recovery

with Carol Cano 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 techniques to will help you overcome addiction. We believe this inclusive approach can bridge a solid foundation at any level of recovery or for those whom 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 day long sober for the mutual respect for others that may be actively in recovery.

We are excited to bring this daylong to the EBMC community and we hope that a regular group can emerge from this daylong. Please, spread the word to others in your community that may be interested in seeking a recovery group.
