A
Mindfulness Approach For Working With Addiction (Online course, Apr
20–May 17)
Mindfulness
Based Addiction Recovery (MBAR) is a 28-day, secular, mindfulness-based
approach to promoting recovery from addiction and understanding relapse.
MBAR
is an online course for anyone who has addictive behavior that is
substance-related or not, where one acts out of craving and is unable to
stop despite negative consequences.
This
course is also for professionals working in the field of addiction, and
who would like to understand addiction through the mindfulness lens, and
may want to go on to do a train-the-trainer course that is delivered
internationally.
Every
day starting from April 20, there will be a pre-recorded talk, a
meditation, or suggested exercises to do at home. Vimalasara will conduct
two Zoom call webinars at times to be announced.
There
will also be a Facebook Group where you can interact with each other ask
questions and Valerie Mason-John, aka Vimalasara, will do her best to
answer.
