Mindfulness in Recovery

Would your staff/clients benefit from a free, no-obligation presentation on how the ancient practice of meditation is being used as a powerful tool for increased self-awareness?

Abstract : I would like to visit your facility to show the ground-breaking video "Changing From Inside" of an intensive pilot meditation program for inmate’s inside the North Rehabilitation Facility of the King County jail in Seattle, Washington. Following the 40 minute video there will be time for discussion about the video, and about opportunities for integrating mindfulness as a powerful tool in recovery.

Mindfulness meditation is the practice of self-observation – of being aware of one’s thoughts, actions, and motivations in the present moment – without judgment or aversion toward the constantly changing nature of life.

Biography : Terry Orr is a recovering alcoholic, who during the course of over thirty years of chronic alcoholism experienced numerous conventional residential and out-patient treatment programs as well as participation in 12-step groups in the attempt to achieve sobriety. It was only after attending intensive meditation retreats that he finally found the inner strength to pull out of the vicious cycle of addiction. Terry has written articles on meditation in recovery which have been well received by prominent leaders in the field of addiction research. Terry is a practitioner of Vipassana (Mindfulness) meditation.
