SUNSET SANGHA – Continuing the Outdoors experience

This Tuesday we’ll continue meeting on the outdoor patio at the Unitarian Universalist church, as we embrace the meditation experience in the cooler air and softer light, with maybe a bird or two chiming in. Join us for this opportunity to re-connect with the natural world around us.

This Tuesday we again welcome Kevin Griffin back to NVIM for a second Tuesday in a row. Kevin is best known as the author of One Breath at a Time: Buddhism and the Twelve Steps (Rodale Press 2004). He has published four other books: A Burning Desire: Dharma God and the Path of Recovery (Hay House 2010), Buddhism & The Twelve Steps Workbook (One Breath Books 2014), Recovering Joy: A Mindful Life after Addiction (Sounds True 2015), and Living Kindness: Metta Practice for the Whole of Our Lives (Shambhala Press, 2022). An audio version of One Breath at a Time was released in 2017.

A longtime Buddhist practitioner and 12 Step participant, he is a leader in the mindful recovery movement and one of the founders of the Buddhist Recovery Network. Kevin has trained with the leading Western Vipassana teachers, among them Jack Kornfield, Joseph Goldstein, and Ajahn Amaro. His teacher training was as a Community Dharma Leader at Spirit Rock Meditation Center in Marin County, CA.
