Description

Sunday, March 1, 10 am–4:30 pm

In this all-day retreat, we will explore teachings and practices from Laura Burges' book The Zen Way of Recovery: An Illuminated Path Out of the Darkness of Addiction. Some of us are on the path of recovery from addictive behaviors, but we are all recovering from something! How can we enlist Buddhist teachings that will help us turn towards wholesome thoughts, words, and deeds? How can we transform our lives through simple everyday practices and the principles of recovery?

For this retreat, it will be helpful to bring writing materials and a copy of the book, which is widely available at libraries and the SFZC Store. Please wear comfortable clothes and shoes for sitting and walking meditation. Lunch in the dining room will be offered to participants.
