The Mindful Path in Recovery
The Mindful Path In Recovery consists of eight weekly group meetings of approximately 2 1/2 hours each. Highly participatory, supportive, and structured, this program will provide:
- Guided instruction in mindfulness mediation practices
- Group dialogue and mindful exercises to enhance awareness in your recovery
- Integrated mind-body strategies to reduce stress, depression, and anxiety
- Daily home practice assignments and materials including a mindfulness practice CD and workbook
The program is challenging and life-affirming. Scott is accomplished and skilled at creating a safe, supportive, and deeply engaging experiential learning environment. He will assist you in learning these methods, providing both group and individualized instructions and directions for how to learn, practice, and integrate mindfulness into your recovery.
Participants in The Mindful Path In Recovery should be prepared to make an ongoing commitment to themselves. You will be asked to attend all classes, and to practice daily home assignments for 30 to 60 minutes per day. Prior experience with meditation is not necessary.
