Course Starts August 5
Mindfulness
Based Addiction Recovery (MBAR) is a secular approach to working with
addiction and obsessive thinking.
It
is an 8 week course where participants learn practical skills to add to
their tool kit for recovery. They learn how to become aware of the subtle
triggers, and facilitative thoughts that often lead to relapse. They also
become aware of how blame, self pity and distraction can be habitual
behaviors of turning away from unpleasant, pleasant and neutral
experiences, which in turn sabotage their recovery.
Participants
learn how to cultivate recovery by breaking their vicious cycles of
addiction. In MBAR participants learn to simply breathe again.
Please
note that this course, since it's taught by an outside teacher, is not
available as part of Wildmind's Community-Based Meditation Initiative
