Recovery Dharma is a peer-led movement and community that is unified by our trust in the potential of each of us to recover and find freedom from the suffering of addiction. We believe that the traditional Buddhist teachings, often referred to as the Dharma, offer a powerful approach to healing from addiction and living a life of true freedom.
We believe that recovery means empowerment, and we support each other as partners walking the path together. 
 
In our Recovery Dharma meetings, we practice meditation and explore the Four Noble Truths (There is suffering, There is a cause of suffering, There is an end to suffering, and There is a path that leads to the end of suffering.) and Eightfold Path (Wise Understanding, Wise Intention, Wise Speech, Wise Action, Wise Livelihood, Wise Effort, Wise Mindfulness, and Wise Concentration.) in a group discussion format. 


Self Managment and Recovery Training (SMART)

SMART Recovery is an evidenced-informed recovery method grounded in Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), that supports people with substance dependencies or problem behaviors to:

1.Build and maintain motivation
2.Cope with urges and cravings
3.Manage thoughts, feelings and behaviors
4.Live a balanced life
 
SMART meetings encourage individuals to take responsibility for their own choices and behaviors and do not ask anyone to admit powerlessness nor rely on a higher power. Crosstalk and open conversation are encouraged, as we learn and grow from the support of our recovery community. 


Your Recovery

This Multiple Pathway group will focus on how to change the way we talk about ourselves and our perspective on life.

 

We focus on providing support, sharing/listening to experiences, build our recovery capital and build our community.

 


Women in Recovery

Come join our new Women’s Recovery Meeting, where we focus on supporting all women – warmly including moms and moms-to-be. 


We’ll talk about harm reduction during and after pregnancy, share helpful resources, and offer real-life coping skills for ALL women. It’s a space to connect, learn, and feel empowered together in recovery.


Children are welcome to attend with their parent.

 

Topics of discussion: PTSD, Grounding, When Substances control you, Self-care, Compassion, Honesty, Red and Green Flags, Recovery thinking , Commitment, Boundaries, Healing from Anger.

 

This group addresses both our Substance misuse and PTSD in a present focused model, which means the focus is on headlines of our lives. We do not go into the past in detail. The four content areas we focus on is cognitive, behavioral, interpersonal, and community resources. Learning new ways to detach from emotional pain. Focusing on how to manage triggers and strong feelings.
