Recovery Dharma: A Buddhist-Inspired Mutual Aid Approach to Addiction Recovery (Live stream)
Thursday May 22, 2025 10:15am - 11:15am EDT
In this presentation, we introduce Recovery Dharma (RD), a Buddhist-inspired mutual-aid program for addiction recovery,  highlighting its relevance and potential application in collegiate recovery settings. Based on a research study with 209 RD members, the session will delve into the core aspects of RD, including its focus on mindfulness, meditation, and emotional regulation.  Attendees will learn about RD's unique approach to addiction recovery, catering to a diverse range of addictions and not limited to specific substances like traditional mutual help organizations (MHOs; e.g., AA or NA). We will discuss RD's demographics, with significant representation from the LGBTQ2S+ community, and its practices encompassing meditation, mindfulness, and emotion regulation. In this session, we aim to equip students, educators, counselors, and program facilitators with comprehensive knowledge about RD, empowering them to consider it as a support option for individuals navigating recovery.
