Heart of Recovery (On-site and online)

Every Monday evening from 7-8 pm at The Austin Shambhala Meditation Center, 1702 S. 5^th Street.  Meeting is in the Alaya Shrine Room behind the main building; ADA accessible; #5 Bus.  You are also welcome to participate virtually using Zoom.

We welcome all Twelve Step participants (AA, NA, Al-Anon, OA, SLAA, etc.) who have an interest in combining the principles of their program of recovery with Buddhist teachings and practices. This is a peer support group. We begin with a 20 minute meditation followed by open sharing.

'Sobriety is finding a new way of living that involves engagement where there was withdrawal; generosity where there was self-centeredness; community where there was isolation; joy where there was bitterness; trust where there was cynicism.'
       ~ Kevin Griffin, One Breath at a Time: Buddhism and the Twelve Steps

Open to all — Buddhist practitioners from all traditions and Twelve Step practitioners from all programs.
