Recovery Dharma is a peer-led group and community that is unified by our trust in the potential of each of us to recover and find freedom from the suffering of addiction.
This recovery group is founded on the traditional Buddhist teachings, often referred to as the Dharma, to offer a powerful approach to healing from addiction and living a life of true freedom. We believe that recovery means empowerment, and this group will support all participants as partners walking the path together in finding their own inner wisdom and individual journeys.

Full moons have to do with creation, manifestation, birth, and rebirth. Because the full moon completes the cycle, it is the symbol of a time of death or change. It is also a time for gathering your wits and tying up loose ends. Basically, the full moon symbolizes the end of a chapter, shedding light on the things that we no longer need to hold on to. It’s a beautiful time for breathwork to support such purge and release.
Breathwork during a full moon is a beautiful time for your body and mind to release and let go. Full moons are associated with the processes of creation, manifestation, birth, and rebirth. Because the full moon completes the cycle, it is associated with death or change. It’s also a good time to gather your wits and tie up loose ends. Essentially, the full moon represents the end of a chapter, shedding light on the things we no longer need to cling to. Come join us in community to experience the ritual of ceremony of self love and care for purging and releasing through breathwork during this months full moon.
This Breathwork technique is done lying down on your back in a comfortable position. Music will play in the background to help motivate, relax and release anything that’s stuck. This will break you out of your same old cycle and clear out stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and just about any other unwanted negative emotion. You will know it’s working the first time you do it because how you’ll feel afterwards is undeniable

TO ALL MEN - Have you ever thought to yourself:
“I want to be a better man.”
“I don’t know why I do this!”
“I need to better manage my anger.”
“I have to learn how to communicate better.”
Now is your opportunity to do just that in shared space with other men who are seeking to achieve the same goals. In this 6-week series, using Connor Beaton’s book “Men’s Work” as a guide, we will explore how to:
• Discover and live with clear purpose and direction
• Build skills to be successful in all of your relationships
• Gain better control and understanding of your anger
• Understand your relationship with sexuality and intimacy
• Learn how to regulate your mind, body, and emotions, even under stress and conflict
• Become fearless and at peace with your journey and personal history
We will do this through discussion, inquiry, and exploration of our answers to the hard, scary, and sometimes intimidating questions all while being in a shared space with other men who “get it.”
“Men’s Work” by Connor Beaton focuses on the unique challenges that men with emotional wounds so often grapple with—while giving you the tools to heal and return to our relationships in a way that is both empowering personally and beneficial for everyone in your life.
“The goal of this work is not only to become a better man,” says Beaton, “but a better participant in the collective enterprise of living. True freedom awaits.”
RSVP by Sept 19th in order to reserve your spot for this group.
Book not included. Highly recommended to purchase prior to first class. Can be purchased on Amazon.

The word ‘Kirtan’ literally means praise — which makes Kirtan music the sound of praise. Many Kirtans have a call-and-response style, where one person sings a line, and another repeats it back. This makes it perfect for singing as a group because it means you don’t need to know the words, or be a musician, or even have any musical instruments on hand.
Kirtan music is an ancient practice in Yoga that can bring powerful spiritual effects, and is part of a practice known as Bhakti Yoga. Kirtan songs are made up of sacred sounds that can be sung by anyone, anywhere — it’s less about sounding pitch-perfect, and more about the feeling of lovingness, community and celebration that happens when you join together to sing songs of devotion.
Join us for an intimate evening of devotional chanting, a call and response tradition passed down through the saints of India. Sing outward and bath in the nectar of the divine. Connect to our true nature in a heart opening, throat opening practice that heals the divide of our truth.
A practice of breath, sound & mantra. Join Matthew Dwyer, yoga teacher and kirtan singer, to learn how to use your breath and body to gain inner access to the devotional power of your unique voice. In this workshop you will be guided through simple exercises that start to cultivate a relationship with your pure voice, the voice that connects us to our spiritual heart and longs to call out to the Beloved.
Bhakti yoga, the yoga of devotion, encourages us to explore the many flavors of the divine through practices like chanting. In this workshop we will learn breath techniques that bring us inward with the intention of expressing outward. We will use ancient mantras in Sanskrit that have deep healing vibrational qualities which help us foster the dance of our relationship both with our own voice and our connection to the divine. There is absolutely no experience necessary nor do you have to have any background in music. Everyone is welcome.
Limited to 10 people.

Join our village for a one-day grief ritual event where we create space for anyone who has experienced loss of any kind (loved one, job, relationship, addiction). We come together to grieve, to be witnessed, and to let our hearts be held in sacred community.
While holding sacred space, we will… combine writing, story telling, group sharing and participate in bhakti yoga. There will also be a focus on somatic awareness practices that guide us through our physical and emotional body in order to identify, process, and move with the emotionality of our grief. The event is for anyone feeling like they want to explore their grief and work towards healing.
During this event, you will have an opportunity to:
-Understand about your soul mates and soul companions
-Harness the power of love to transform your life
-Practice guided visualization and meditation
-Release old phobias and fears from prior lifetimes
-Discover extraordinary details about your past

Have you ever had that feeling like you have known them “a million years?” Have you ever visited a place that seems SO very familiar to you, but you are sure that you have never been there before? Have you ever had that “deja-vu” kind of feeling?
Take a journey to explore the limitless boundaries of the mind and soul via guided visualization and the latest in hypnotic regression. This will be a fun, SAFE and educational experience for us all.

Facilitated by Jim Ready: a Kripalu-certified Yoga Teacher, iRest Yoga Nidra Teacher, Holistic Health Instructor, as well as Thai Massage Practitioner, and Mindful Improv Comedy Instructor.
The blended practices of Mindfulness and Improv Comedy are a natural fit.
They form a powerful, integrated tool for insight, transformation, and creativity. Improv consists of various games and exercises designed to draw us to the present, and tap into our creative and intuitive energies. When practiced mindfully, improv helps us become more intimate with, and utilize, our emotional power.
Mindful improvisation also teaches us nonattachment, beginner's mind, and authentic action, and reignites our inner child's sense of wonder. Sometimes there's belly laughter, sometimes poignant insight -- and sometimes there's both. Just like life.
