SUMMARY:21st Israeli-Palestinian Joint Memorial Ceremony

Together\, we will see that there is another way – and that despite it all\, hope is still alive. \nThere will be no noon sit on this day. \nDonations to this cause may be made here.

SUMMARY:Recovery Dharma Bozeman
DESCRIPTION:Recovery Dharma Bozeman\nMondays\, 5:30-6:30 PM\nIn Person\n \nRecovery Dharma Bozeman is a peer-led movement and community welcoming anyone looking to heal from addiction and addictive behavior. Our program uses Buddhist practices and principles of meditation\, self-inquiry\, wisdom\, compassion\, and community as tools for recovery and healing. \nOur meetings are open to anyone interested in recovery from addiction of all kinds\, whether caused by substance use or process addictions like codependency\, gambling\, eating disorders\, work\, relationships\, technology\, or any obsessive or habitual pattern that creates suffering. No meditation experience is necessary\, and there is no requirement to believe in anything other than our own potential to change and heal. \nWe understand that this is not the only path to recovery\, and many may choose to combine these practices with traditional recovery programs. We support each other as partners walking the path of recovery together. \nMore information on Recovery Dharma Global\, the peer-led community of which this Bozeman in-person meeting is a part\, can be found here: recoverydharma.org. For questions specific to this Bozeman meeting\, please contact us at recoverydharmabozeman@gmail.com. \n \nFacilitators bios\nWhile our Sangha is peer-led\, the following individuals are responsible for organizing and conducting our meetings\, and ensuring our group’s accountability to the Bozeman Dharma Center (BDC) Board of Directors and other BDC leadership. These individuals regard their service to this Sangha to be an integral part of their own recovery from addiction. \nChris Hansen got sober in 1998 in the rooms of AA and Al-Anon\, and credits working the 12 steps and the fellowship of the program for his sobriety. Subsequent cultivation of a regular yoga practice in conjunction with a daily seated meditation practice has also been integral to maintaining his sobriety. For the past 10 years he has been interested in the various forms of Buddhist practice and Buddhist psychology in general. He has been sitting regularly with the Joining Rivers Sangha\, and enjoys participating in many of the wide array of practice opportunities offered at the Bozeman Dharma Center. He is excited to be helping to bring the Recovery Dharma program to those suffering from addiction. \nCarolyn Swed began turning to the dharma some 10 years ago\, to help her manage internal stress and interpersonal relationships. As her practice grew\, she began to look more clearly into her struggles with alcohol addiction and other compulsive behaviors. She began attending Recovery Dharma meetings online in 2022\, and regards it as an integral part of her recovery\, and growing Buddhist practice. Carolyn is a regular participant and occasional facilitator of the Bozeman Dharma Center’s Joining Rivers Sangha\, and is grateful for the ability to help bring the program of Recovery Dharma to others suffering from addiction. \nAmy Kinman is a lifelong meditator and has been meditating regularly since 2012. She found comfort with Buddhist Dharma in 2022 when healing from PTSD and dependence on various behaviors and substances. Mindfulness\, meditation\, and the Dharma have played key roles in helping her with the challenges of friends and family who are burdened by addiction. Amy learns from many Buddhist traditions and regularly attends meditation retreats as well as special events. She has taught Intro to Meditation at Bozeman Dharma Center and helps facilitate Recovery Dharma meetings.

SUMMARY:Intro to Meditation
DESCRIPTION:Intro to Meditation\nSaturday\, May 2\n9 AM – 12:30 PM\n“To begin to meditate is to look into our lives with interest in kindness and discover how to be wakeful and free.” – Jack Kornfield \n  \nMeditation is a simple but powerful tool that can help us cope when we feel overwhelmed\, anxious\, and stressed. Meditation is a useful tool at other times too with known health benefits. If you’re interested in starting a meditation practice and aren’t sure how to start\, this class is for you! We’ll discuss and practice different styles of meditation including practicing with the breath\, body scans\, working with a question\, Metta practice and Tonglen. You’ll leave with an understanding of meditation fundamentals such as different postures that work well\, how to work with attention\, and ways to support your meditation practice.

SUMMARY:Recovery Dharma Bozeman
DESCRIPTION:Recovery Dharma Bozeman\nMondays\, 5:30-6:30 PM\nIn Person\n \nRecovery Dharma Bozeman is a peer-led movement and community welcoming anyone looking to heal from addiction and addictive behavior. Our program uses Buddhist practices and principles of meditation\, self-inquiry\, wisdom\, compassion\, and community as tools for recovery and healing. \nOur meetings are open to anyone interested in recovery from addiction of all kinds\, whether caused by substance use or process addictions like codependency\, gambling\, eating disorders\, work\, relationships\, technology\, or any obsessive or habitual pattern that creates suffering. No meditation experience is necessary\, and there is no requirement to believe in anything other than our own potential to change and heal. \nWe understand that this is not the only path to recovery\, and many may choose to combine these practices with traditional recovery programs. We support each other as partners walking the path of recovery together. \nMore information on Recovery Dharma Global\, the peer-led community of which this Bozeman in-person meeting is a part\, can be found here: recoverydharma.org. For questions specific to this Bozeman meeting\, please contact us at recoverydharmabozeman@gmail.com. \n \nFacilitators bios\nWhile our Sangha is peer-led\, the following individuals are responsible for organizing and conducting our meetings\, and ensuring our group’s accountability to the Bozeman Dharma Center (BDC) Board of Directors and other BDC leadership. These individuals regard their service to this Sangha to be an integral part of their own recovery from addiction. \nChris Hansen got sober in 1998 in the rooms of AA and Al-Anon\, and credits working the 12 steps and the fellowship of the program for his sobriety. Subsequent cultivation of a regular yoga practice in conjunction with a daily seated meditation practice has also been integral to maintaining his sobriety. For the past 10 years he has been interested in the various forms of Buddhist practice and Buddhist psychology in general. He has been sitting regularly with the Joining Rivers Sangha\, and enjoys participating in many of the wide array of practice opportunities offered at the Bozeman Dharma Center. He is excited to be helping to bring the Recovery Dharma program to those suffering from addiction. \nCarolyn Swed began turning to the dharma some 10 years ago\, to help her manage internal stress and interpersonal relationships. As her practice grew\, she began to look more clearly into her struggles with alcohol addiction and other compulsive behaviors. She began attending Recovery Dharma meetings online in 2022\, and regards it as an integral part of her recovery\, and growing Buddhist practice. Carolyn is a regular participant and occasional facilitator of the Bozeman Dharma Center’s Joining Rivers Sangha\, and is grateful for the ability to help bring the program of Recovery Dharma to others suffering from addiction. \nAmy Kinman is a lifelong meditator and has been meditating regularly since 2012. She found comfort with Buddhist Dharma in 2022 when healing from PTSD and dependence on various behaviors and substances. Mindfulness\, meditation\, and the Dharma have played key roles in helping her with the challenges of friends and family who are burdened by addiction. Amy learns from many Buddhist traditions and regularly attends meditation retreats as well as special events. She has taught Intro to Meditation at Bozeman Dharma Center and helps facilitate Recovery Dharma meetings.
