In-person: Breaking the Spell: Disenchantment and the End of Craving with Vince Cullen & Kevin Griffin

30 July 2022 10:00 am - 5:00 pm

EVENT DESCRIPTION

We sometimes live our lives as if we are under a spell, an enchantment. We are captivated by the craving, aversion, biases and distortions of the mind. As addicts, this enchantment manifests as destructive habit patterns.

When we cultivate Mindfulness, Serenity, Insight and Ethics, we open up new ways of seeing ourselves, new ways of seeing the world, and new ways of living. We break the spell and become disenchanted.

This daylong retreat will include mindfulness and loving-kindness meditations, interactive exercises, lecture, and discussion focused on breaking out of destructive internal and external habit patterns, the spells that bind us.

The event is primarily intended for people in or exploring recovery from any kind of addiction or destructive habit. This includes the spectrum from substances to relationships and other behaviours.
