“It is temporary pleasure obtained from the contact of your senses with objects or people in the world. The fountain of lasting bliss flows from Atma, the True Self within.”

- Krishna

When you feel uncomfortable inside, do you find yourself seeking comfort outside yourself? Do you turn to alcohol, drugs, smoking, sex, food, gambling, work, shopping, caretaking, or sugar? Although chemicals and behaviors may provide temporary relief, they are only illusions of relief. By not knowing how to find lasting comfort from within, you may reach for temporary external solutions that lead to dependency.

In this workshop people with addictions or dependencies come together to explore ways to find balance in their lives from within themselves. You will examine your family-of-origin to uncover what you learned to believe about yourself, and how you project those beliefs onto other people and the world around you. You will discover what you think and feel, how you mask your feelings, and learn ways to express your feelings clearly, directly, and lovingly. You will learn how to love yourself, receive love from within, and find balance.

In addition to psychodrama and experiential techniques this workshop includes daily meditation, and one sweat lodge ceremony.
