Heart of Recovery The Awakened Heart Weekend

Recovery, Mindfulness and Spiritual Growth
Grounded in the principles of meditation and select Buddhist teachings, this program provides tools to gain insight into the connection between body, mind, and breath while working with difficult emotions. Participants are invited to explore these practices within a compassionate community, fostering a sense of connection and mutual support.
Guided by the lens of the Shambhala path, the program integrates themes from Eric's book, Recovery Lojong, which bridges recovery with mindfulness and spiritual growth. Together, we’ll explore how the principles of recovery align with meditation and Buddhist fundamentals, empowering participants to cultivate greater clarity, resilience, and joy in their lives.
This program is ideal for those ready to explore the intersection of recovery and spirituality with curiosity and an open heart. The fruition of recovery is a sense of connection and opening of our hearts to help others. Over the course of the weekend we will discuss the journey from self-centered to other-centered as we continue to develop the bravery of living a life free from our addictions.

Note: For those who wish to go further, this weekend program extends into a weeklong version with additional teachings and practices.
Heart of Recovery begins with the weekend program that covers the above fundamentals. The weeklong program continues from there and deepens our practice and understanding of the journey of awakening our hearts. Participants in the weeklong program will be given the opportunity to explore additional ideas from the practice of Lojong.
The practice of lojong is a traditional training system designed to provide an opening of the heart (i.e. spiritual awakening) so that we can be of service to the world around us. These practices can help us traverse the challenges of addiction and recovery.
