Much of the recovery path seems to focus on struggle: breaking free of painful habits, facing inner demons, and cleaning up past karma. In all of this, we may lose sight of the ultimate purpose of recovery: finding happiness in our lives. This talk will look at the ways that Buddhist teachings and practices can help us to make a shift towards a more positive experience of recovery and working with the 12 Steps.

The talk begins at 7 pm at the Solstice Center at 302 Pearl Street, Boulder, CO 80302.

Kevin Griffin will also be leading a retreat with Greg Pergament on December 6-8th at the Shambhala Mountain Center: The Joy of Recovery: Buddhism, Chi Kung & 12 Steps.
