Sign up for the Meditation x Addiction Workshop on June 21st - ⁠⁠click here.⁠

You’ll learn about the Meditation x Addiction approach to substance use disorders. It’s an effective strategy for relapse prevention and we’ll introduce you to how students address addiction through the attachment lens. You’ll learn about the four modules that are the next step in this journey: craving and urging; stress, anger and depression; persistent negative emotions; and difficult interpersonal relationships.

You’ll understand how this evidence-based system combines ongoing meditation practice, the relapse pattern theory of G. Alan Marlatt, PhD and John Bowlby’s psychological model of Attachment Theory.

We continue our conversation on the organization of practice and begin to discuss how that can evolve into the insight way of practicing using the Theravāda map.
