Sitting in Recovery
If addiction can be thought of as a means to escape our perceived reality (our feelings, emotions, and the situations we find ourselves in), then meditation can be thought of as deeply connecting with reality as it actually is. In this way, meditation, as a practice, is an antidote to our perpetual need to escape. By delving into it, we see the world and ourselves as we truly are; and find less and less need to escape it.
Meditation is often used to support stress reduction, nervous system regulation, focus, and emotional awareness, making it a valuable practice for individuals interested in recovery, wellness, or personal development.
Participants can join the sitting at any point in the four week series.
Week 1: Types of meditation, what it is and isn’t, and why we would want to do it.
Week 2: How we do it: from posture to anchoring to our breath to working with thoughts and feelings.
Week 3: How meditation can support our recovery.
Week 4: How we can step more deeply into living life on life’s terms.
Join us as we learn about meditation, how we practice it in our lives, and explore its connection with addiction recovery.
Learn more on our blog: Sitting in Recovery
Date: As scheduled in the NEXUS App
Time: 5 PM - 6 PM
Location: EPIC Recovery Centre – 743 Wellington Road, London, ON. Entrance 2.
