The Dharma of recovery

with Jenna Hollenstein

“When we protect ourselves so we won't feel pain, that protection becomes like armor, like armor that imprisons the softness of the heart.”
― Pema Chödrön, When Things Fall Apart: Heart Advice for Difficult Times

cultivating healing, self-discovery, & alignment with our true path

Are you ready to integrate more mindfulness and presence into your recovery, allowing each moment to guide you toward deeper self-understanding, self-love and transformation?

Does your current recovery journey reflect your deeper sense of purpose?

Do you feel open to release old beliefs and patterns and thought processes in order to create space for greater healing and self-discovery?

In the Dharma of Recovery, we begin with a reading and a meditation practice, followed by a short talk and open discussion. This gathering is for anyone in recovery or wishing to change their relationship with a substance or behavior. You will both begin to develop a meditation practice that sharpens self-awareness and find a community of others working toward a more honest, open-hearted, and joyful approach to life.
