The Heart of Recovery is a weekly meeting that brings together Buddhist meditation and spiritual step work to engage in a commitment to recovery from our addiction and the everyday addictive behaviors and patterns in our lives. Anyone is invited to participate. This program is based on the principle that we are are full, complete, and worthy people. As we come to recognize the innate goodness, joy, and wisdom we are all capable of experiencing, we promote and celebrate those qualities together. We recognize that the anonymity and confidentiality of those present are essential principles to respect. This gathering is not associated with any 12-step program and is not intended to replace a 12-step program.

Our format begins with meditation instruction, followed by 15 minutes of sitting meditation. The group will then share a reading, and then the floor will be open for discussion. We end with a closing dedication.
