We'll address topics related to the Twelve Steps like Powerlessness, Higher Power, and Inventory. We'll see how the Noble Eightfold Path guides our process. Through mindfulness and loving kindness practices, lecture, discussion and interactive exercises we will touch into the tender places with care and wisdom. Introductory meditation instruction will be included. All recovery paths are welcome, whether Twelve Step, Recovery Dharma, substance, process, or relationship-oriented.
