Buddhist Recovery Network
Sunday support meeting for people recovering from addictive behaviours
Buddhist Recovery Network meetings are held at the Auckland Buddhist Centre:
every Sunday from 6:00 to 7:30 pm
This meeting includes explorations of how mindfulness and other Buddhist tools can help with maintaining mental health in general and abstinence from drugs and alcohol in particular. We also meditate every time we meet, usually for 20-30 minutes. We give plenty of guidance on how to meditate and can also help with posture.
On this evening we will have Vimalasara, a visiting Order member from Canada, joining us. Vimalasara is the co-founder of Eight Step Recovery – Using The Buddha’s Teaching to Overcome Addiction, an alternative to the 12 steps programs for addiction.
She also is also one of the leading African Descent voices in the field of Mindfulness and Addiction, and trains professionals to working in the field of addiction all over the world.
Please visit our Buddhist Recovery Network page for more detailed information and some useful resources.
