Workshop: Embracing the Present Moment with No Escape

9am to 4pm

Portland Dharma Center

We will help make the translation from the mainly Christian-based language of the 12-Step programs to the non-theistic language of Buddhism. In sharing our experience and strength with each other we can:

  • learn how to dismantle old destructive behaviors
  • get support from sangha/community
  • deepen our meditation and mindfulness practices

Using silent meditation, interactive exercises, talks, and discussion, the emphasis will be on bringing mindfulness to all our activities, whether in meditation, walking, speaking, listening, or eating. Participants will practice Noble Silence outside of the interactive exercises and discussion periods.
