MINDFULNESS BASED RELAPSE PREVENTION

An 8 week group
~For people in recovery from addiction to drugs, alcohol, compulsive eating,
or for those who simply want to change harmful habits~

Thursdays, 6-8pm
Beginning July 8th, 2010 and going through Aug. 26th, 2010

Mindfulness is moment-to-moment non-judgmental awareness. It is about being fully present in the moment, and being with ourselves and our experience in a new way. With mindfulness we learn to stay present with and respond differently to all experience (stress, anxiety, depression, sadness, anger, craving) rather than react in harmful ways, creating a more balanced and livable life. Mindfulness also includes cultivating a non-judgmental attitude toward oneself.

Mindfulness Based Relapse Prevention

Integrates mindfulness meditation and cognitive behavioral techniques to prevent relapse for people in recovery and/or struggling with any type of addiction.

Facilitators:
