Sobriety and Meditation
How might the wisdom of sobriety communities and meditation communities aide one another? What can communities that rely on rotating leadership, group agreements, personal transformation, and self-support teach dharma and meditation communities? Conversely, how might traditions rooted in fearlessness, gentleness, doing no harm, and wakefulness assist recovery communities?
This talk will address my own personal experience as a person in recovery who came to meditation through my recovery community; and how having both has provided me with an unshakable foundation for living life. The talk will also address the importance of “fellowship” in recovery and “sangha” in meditation.
