This session will use both presentation and practice to explore the concepts and practices of Recovery Dharma.
The Recovery Dharma path is a Buddhist-inspired approach to recovery from substance abuse, process addictions, and codependency. One does not need to identify as a Buddhist to participate. This path is harmonious and compatible with other spiritual practices, including higher power(s). Our fellowship leans into the traditional tools of meetings, service, renunciation, the study of principles, amends, and virtuous behavior. Our practice of finding refuge and meditation uses gentle and supportive language that encourages self-compassion and strength-based exploration.
Recovery Dharma is a reliable option for individuals seeking a recovery path. Some of our members practice it as a stand-alone fellowship. Others use it as a harmonious and compatible supplement to other paths, such as 12 Step programs. This relatively new and growing community has an active and vibrant core of 300 meetings and about 10,000 members worldwide. This includes groups across the US, Europe, Australia, and Online. A significant portion of our membership includes those who have found our fellowship after having it presented as an option by their treatment program.
