Establish a deep understanding of how Buddhist wisdom illuminates the roots of addiction and the nature of suffering.
Through guided meditation practices, you'll learn to observe suffering with new clarity, while somatic movement helps you reconnect with your body's inherent wisdom.
Expressive arts offer a powerful way to explore and map your personal relationship with powerlessness, creating a foundation for genuine transformation.
Module 2: Craving, Attachment, and Connection to a Higher Power
Learn to understand and work with the fundamental dynamics of craving and attachment through the lens of both Buddhism and recovery principles.

Cultivate the essential practices of self-compassion and forgiveness as central tools for healing.
Through guided meditation, you'll develop genuine self-compassion, while somatic movements help release shame and old patterns held in the body.
