Hazelden Renewal Retreat with Bill Alexander

Mindful Recovery: Moving Beyond the Addiction to Self.

Hazelden Listing and Registration

Twelve Step literature says that selfishness and self-centeredness are at the root of our addictions. Buddhist teachings show how clinging to an illusory self causes stress, agitation, and frustration. In this retreat, we will learn ways to loosen our ties to this destructive grasping while gaining tools for self-care.
Over the past decade, mindfulness teachings and practices have transformed the landscape of the recovery world. Guided by two of the seminal figures in the mindful recovery movement, this workshop includes meditation instruction, storytelling, Twelve Step teachings, and a diverse array of insights from across the Buddhist tradition.
