A Mindfulness Retreat led by Cheri Maples & David Haskin
Mindfulness and meditation are tools that can help us maintain and enjoy sobriety, transform our anger and resentment, and improve our relationships with others. We come to understand deeply how our powerlessness over addiction, people, places and things can lead to transformation.
At this non-residential retreat, we will explore how mindfulness and meditation help us heal and recover. We will practice sitting and walking meditation as well as have group discussions, talks by teachers, and question-and-answer sessions. This retreat is appropriate both for beginners and more experienced practitioners, and is for those who consider themselves “recovering” in any way from addiction and/or relationships with active or recovering addicts.
