ABOUT

THE RECOVERY BUDDHA GROUP

Within the name Recovery Buddha, manifests our ‘Recovery Awakening’; the magnificence of self-awakening in recovery; realigning with our ‘Buddha nature’ - returning to the love and goodness that has always been within ourselves.

​

Our women’s Recovery Buddha Facebook group is a safe, closed community inclusive of all women in Recovery and those working towards it. Members of the group aim to provide connection, healing, and encourage each other to practice self-compassion & loving-kindness in our daily lives. In this safe space, we share what’s in our hearts, on our minds, our joys, our challenges, and individual gifts & messages. Surrounded by like-minded women, we are all here to connect, heal & love each other along our recovery journey. We honour all pathways to recovery and our message is “Through Connection We Heal”.
