| BRN #47. Vimalasara, H Whitaker, S Morris, R Schwartz, J Hoppe, & K Griffin ❖ Is Racism An Addiction?, Codependency of Racism, Compounded BIPOC Challenges in Predominantly White Recovery Spaces | 28 Sep 2020 | 02:16:17 | |
This topic is so incredibly important for us in recovery. Doing anti racist work is an integral part of our healing, especially in Buddhist Recovery where we aim to cause less harm. How can we do that without exploring how to be an anti racist and by learning how to not perpetuate the racism inherent in our society? AntiRacism work IS recovery work, and if you don't realize that, you are practicing spiritual bypassing and spiritual materialism. You’re holding yourself back from reaching the next step in your recovery journey. This episode is long, but that's because the topic needs that much time to explore.

| BRN #40. Martine Batchelor ❖ Breaking Free of Habits, Dissolving Repetitive Habits through Anchoring & Mindfulness | 11 May 2020 | 00:33:40 | |
https://www.patreon.com/buddhistrecoverynetworkDuring this talk Martine will look at the habits that bind us and stop our potential for wisdom and compassion manifesting fully. She will explore the meditative tools found in the Vipassana tradition like mindfulness of the breath, sounds and feeling tones to show how we can engage creatively with our habits and transform them into positive functions.

Dr. Maté believes that the source of addictions is not to be found in genes but in the early childhood environment. In The Realm Of Hungry Ghosts, his most recent best-selling book, draws on cutting-edge science and real-life stories to show that all addictions originate in trauma and emotional loss. _____________________________________ 🗺️Need a Meeting? 👉buddhistrecovery.org/meetings Thelargest, up-to-date, comprehensiveBuddhist recovery meeting list.Hundreds of meetings across various Buddhist programs.

| BRN #31. Eddie LeShure ❖ Shifting Perception, Self-Care & Self-Compassion in Recovery, Somatic Awareness | 28 Oct 2019 | 00:48:13 | |
There is a correlation between our inner state of being and our outer circumstances. By noticing our inner sensations and thoughts, tracking them to witness their changes, we make the unconscious conscious and can hold the inner and the outer experiences in an attitude of expanded focus. Observing our own continuously evolving experience centers us in reality and allows us to nourish whatever arises with less fear and more love. Developing an increased capacity for resiliency allows for a shift in perception toward a more loving state of being in which to create our reality. In this webinar we will discover our own organic wisdom to notice patterns, track changes and transform limited perceptions. Rather than a constant search for that elusive something out there, we turn attention within to feel for what wants to emerge. Noticing thoughts, stories and sensations and tracking them to observe positive changes as they happen can shift our perception, and create greater clarity and meaning in life. http://www.vancouverbuddhistcentre.com/programs/retreats/ _____________________________________ 🗺️Need a Meeting? 👉buddhistrecovery.org/meetings Thelargest, up-to-date, comprehensiveBuddhist recovery meeting list.Hundreds of meetings across various Buddhist programs.

| BRN #26. Kara Haney ❖ A Quivering of the Heart, Working with Pain, Boundaries in Conflict | 02 Sep 2019 | 00:47:44 | |
Compassion: A Quivering of the Heart w/ Kara Haney Compassion (Karuna) is one of the primary heart teachings. It is the felt experience in response to a being’s pain. When we understand this through practice, we are able to cultivate compassion for our own pain and the pain of others. Thus compassion becomes a vehicle of connection, further dissolving the myth of separateness and isolation. This felt sense of separateness, the identification of being separate from, not included, or abandoned; perpetuates our pain and often is a reason why we use substances and process addictions. By developing this practice of compassion, we can begin to turn towards and see the pain, not run from or suppress it, but to recognize, open to and acknowledge that pain and sorrow exists and is a common experience with all beings. Let’s care about pain together and see what arises in seeing the true nature of suffering in the world. Kara Haney has practiced meditation and studied Buddhism since 1993. With over twenty years in recovery, her background includes both Buddhist practice in the understanding of craving and twelve-step recovery. Since 2013 she has assisted in starting Buddhist recovery groups within communities, addiction treatment facilities, and jails; and continues to be a foundational member and mentor for the Buddhist recovery community. Kara was empowered to teach by Bob Stahl and was also trained to facilitate Mindfulness and Buddhist meditation by JoAnna Hardy and Vinny Ferraro of the former Against the Stream Meditation Society. She teaches weekly Dharma groups, daylong retreats, and offers Dharma courses such as "A Year to Live" and "Eightfold Path." Kara completed a twenty-year career as a dental surgical assistant and currently enjoys living in Santa Cruz while working towards a Masters degree in Social Work. _____________________________________ 🗺️Need a Meeting? 👉buddhistrecovery.org/meetings Thelargest, up-to-date, comprehensiveBuddhist recovery meeting list.Hundreds of meetings across various Buddhist programs.

| BRN #24. Joan Tollifson ❖ Awareness vs. Willpower, Mindfulness of Urges, Compassion for Imperfections | 12 Aug 2019 | 00:38:12 | |
Joan has had personal experience with alcohol addiction, a fingerbiting compulsion (classified as an impulse-control disorder), compulsive thinking, and depression. She does not believe there is one recovery model that fits everyone, and she encourages people to find what works for them. What she offers is an approach rooted in open awareness – giving nonjudgmental attention to the whole happening that we call ‘addiction’ or ‘compulsion’ or ‘depression,’ without trying to change it, but simply shedding light on it. She also stresses the liberating recognition that both our apparent imperfections and the stormy weather in life are often essential to evolutionary growth and transformation, and that the light and the dark go together and cannot be pulled apart. Joan does not consider herself a Buddhist and does not belong to any tradition, but she has spent time with a number of Buddhist teachers, including Charlotte Joko Beck, Steve Hagen, Anam Thubten and Mel Weitsman, and her main teacher, Toni Packer, was a former Zen teacher who left the tradition behind to work in a more open way.

| BRN #23. Amy Reed & Vimalasara ❖ The Roots of Recovery Dharma, Trauma-Informed, Inclusive Spaces | 05 Aug 2019 | 00:56:25 | |
Amy Reed is an Asheville, NC based writer. She got sober in Oakland, CA in 2008 in the rooms of Alcoholics Anonymous and dabbled a little in Buddhism via Kevin Griffin and Spirit Rock. When she moved to Asheville with her family in 2014, she found herself drifting away from 12-steps and struggled to find a recovery community in her new town. Then she saw a flyer for Refuge Recovery in a café, went to her first meeting in the summer of 2016, and found exactly what she was looking for. She soon started a dedicated meditation practice, became active in her local and regional Refuge community, and was elected Asheville’s inter-sangha treasurer. In 2018, she was invited to join the Refuge Recovery Literature Committee and became part of the team that co-wrote what would eventually become The Dharma of Recovery, the first literature offering of the Recovery Dharma program. In February 2019, she joined the Refuge Recovery Board of Directors. On July 13, 2019, Amy represented the newly formed organization Recovery Dharma at the State of the State Address at the Refuge Recovery 5th Annual Conference in Chicago, joining Noah Levine in outlining the two new organizations that have been born from the dissolving of Refuge Recovery. She is currently on the core transition team of Recovery Dharma and has been busy behind the scenes helping to build this new grassroots movement using Buddhist practice and principles to end the suffering of addiction.

| BRN #22. Angyu Devin Ashwood ❖ Living an Authentic Life, Longterm Recovery | 22 Jul 2019 | 00:49:38 | |
Living an Authentic Life A life free from craving, addictions and compulsions isn’t just about avoiding intoxicants, it invites the opportunity to live a full and authentic life with creativity and joy. This isn’t just a possibility. Research suggests that although people in recovery from substance misuse often suffer more in the first year, in the longer term they are on average happier than the general population. Could this be because recovery demands effort, self-reflection and a willingness to change? We will explore how we can use these qualities on the Buddha’s path as a self-study and training programme that shines a light on the mistakes we make so that we can give them up and live life on life’s terms. Living an authentic life, in harmony with the Dharma is a life of peace and joy. Please join me as we explore this together. _____________________________________ 🗺️Need a Meeting? 👉buddhistrecovery.org/meetings Thelargest, up-to-date, comprehensiveBuddhist recovery meeting list.Hundreds of meetings across various Buddhist programs.

| BRN #21. Pablo Das ❖ Trauma, Self-Regulation, 54321 (Five Senses Grounding Technique) | 08 Jul 2019 | 01:08:56 | |
Trauma, whether connected to early childhood, an event as an adult or to social oppression, changes our nervous system, our physiological responses to life and impacts our self image, relational capacities, perception and self regulatory abilities. It is, in my view, a core underlying cause for the arising of addiction patterns. Looking through the trauma lense, addiction could be viewed as a means of regulating the underlying pervasive dis-regulation associated with addiction. Therefore “recovery” involves “recovering” or more likely developing self regulatory capacities. What we learn in Meditation is that where we direct or attention has a profound impact on the way we feel. In this session I’ll give an overview of trauma and how it functions and offer a few simple attention based or reflective exercises that support regulation of the nervous system. Trauma, self regulatory capacities are lost or never developed. And it is, in my view one of the core causal factors in addiction Often people with a history of trauma will have extra challenges that require additional tools and a different framework for how to think about what it means to be present without overwhelm. _____________________________________ 🗺️Need a Meeting? 👉buddhistrecovery.org/meetings Thelargest, up-to-date, comprehensiveBuddhist recovery meeting list.Hundreds of meetings across various Buddhist programs.

| BRN #14. Steven Tierney, Ed.D. ❖ Suffering & Happiness (Both Present, Embrace Them ), Toxic Shame, Acceptance | 13 May 2019 | 00:20:23 | |
Suffering and Happiness – Both are Present, Embrace Them “Living Happily with things as they are (Drishta dharma sukha viharin) encourages an ancient Buddhist teaching. Those of us who have lived with addiction, struggled with recovery and found our common bonds: trauma and toxic shame, may find that teaching simplistic or even dismissive.As Buddhists, we know that suffering is part of life. We accept that. Then, right in the center of the Big Book of alcoholics anonymous (p 132) is a wonderful sentence: “We absolutely insist on enjoying life... we are not a glum lot”!How do we create a life that includes both suffering and happiness? Letting go!Gil Fronsdal writes: “Renunciation is one of the most beneficial, empowering, and freeing practices of Buddhism. As its purpose is to heighten the best qualities of our hearts and minds, renunciation is not meant to diminish our lives but rather to enhance them. Abstaining from intoxicating drinks and drugs—the fifth ethical precept—is an important Buddhist practice.So, we welcome suffering and delusion when they arise, we notice them, but we do not cling. We let them go and we acknowledge that happiness is also present.Not one, not two.” _____________________________________ 🗺️Need a Meeting? 👉buddhistrecovery.org/meetings Thelargest, up-to-date, comprehensiveBuddhist recovery meeting list.Hundreds of meetings across various Buddhist programs.
