New Mindfulness in Recovery Program Launched – February, 2016

We are very excited to launch our new Mindfulness in Recovery program!  This has been a vision of our co-founder, John Bruna, for many years and it has come to fruition. Drawing upon his 31 years in recovery, experience as a substance abuse counselor, educator, Buddhist monastic, and mindfulness teacher, we have integrated the tools and resources of our mindfulness community with specific meditations and resources for people in recovery.

We are already working on our vision to grow our Mindfulness in Recovery component to be integrated into treatment programs, aftercare, and continued support. Soon, we’ll be offering a workbook and encourage weekly support groups in communities. Currently we have our first weekly group that meets on Thursday evenings at our center in Carbondale.

The Mindfulness in Recovery group is an inclusive recovery support program, open to anyone with a sincere desire for recovery. Our goal is to provide daily mindfulness activities and support that enhance our members current 12 Step program and to provide mindfulness tools and resources for those not in 12 Step programs. This is part of our Mindful Life Community. Members join the Community, receiving all of the members’ resources, and have access additionally to meditations and support materials specific to recovery. So far the results have been wonderful. Members with years of recovery have found new inspiration and a burst of inner growth.
