Finding Support in Recovery: The Role of Sangha

To protect our commitments, to develop and strengthen our commitment to the path, we would be more helpful to ourselves if we find other like-minded souls to take shelter with.
Imagine navigating the rocky path of recovery with a supportive community by your side. That's the essence of this episode of 'The 12-Step Buddhist Podcast'. Darren Littlejohn dives into the idea of 'taking refuge in the sangha' – a Buddhist concept that emphasizes seeking safety and support from a group of like-minded individuals. But who exactly makes up our sangha? And how do we choose them wisely?
Littlejohn tackles these questions head-on, urging listeners to consider the impact their energy has on others and the importance of surrounding themselves with people who share their values and goals. He shares insights from Tibetan Buddhist teachings, yoga practices, and his own book, 'Compassionate Recovery: Mindful Healing for Trauma and Addictions'. This episode isn't just about theory; it’s packed with practical advice on building a supportive network and developing a strong commitment to the recovery path.
Littlejohn also touches on the significance of practice sessions in maintaining focus and achieving personal growth. Tune in to learn how to find your own refuge and strengthen your journey to healing.
