Join us for a transformative one-day workshop designed to support individuals on their journey of alcohol addiction recovery. This immersive experience introduces MAUM Practice, a mindfulness-based approach that empowers participants to cultivate inner strength and resilience. Through five thoughtfully designed modules, participants will explore the tools and practices necessary for sustained recovery and personal growth.

Session 1: Courage to Change
This session emphasizes the concept of being inherently free from certain conditions. Rather than embracing the notion of being naturally predisposed to alcoholism, it highlights the transformative power of present actions in shaping the future.

Session 2: Power of Awareness
In this session, we will delve into the workings of the mind, focusing on the concept of the "mind ground" (the true essence of the mind), which is naturally calm and undisturbed. By understanding the influence of "sensory conditions," we can see that the thoughts that arise within us do not define our true self. It is crucial, therefore, to reconnect with the original state of calmness that exists before these thoughts emerge and to observe them with clarity—highlighting the importance of awareness. Throughout this session, we will stress that awareness is the key to transformation. To help grasp this concept, we will explore the idea of awareness as the opposite of living on autopilot.

Session 3: Power of Pausing
This module highlights the power of taking a pause. Pausing allows us to see things more clearly, breaking free from the autopilot mode that keeps us stuck in old habits and addiction. By giving ourselves the space to pause, we create the opportunity to think more clearly and make better decisions that lead to positive actions. In this module, you'll learn techniques to pause and observe when the urge to drink arises, helping you build the strength to resist alcohol and move forward in your recovery journey.

Session 4: Power of Choice
This module goes beyond basic mindfulness by introducing the Won Buddhist practice of mindfulness/unmindfulness, which transforms mindfulness into practical actions. You'll get a thorough introduction to this practice, along with real-life examples of how to apply it in your daily routine, particularly when it comes to overcoming alcohol addiction. We'll also look at how this practice ties in with the mindfulness technique of keeping a diary.

Session 5: Power of Gratitude
This module centers on the power of gratitude, reminding us that recovery is not something we do alone but a journey we share with a supportive community. It emphasizes the importance of being grateful for everyday moments, for ourselves, and for the people around us—even for small things and minor changes. Gratitude helps create a positive mindset, boosting self-esteem and leading to even more gratitude. Participants are encouraged to appreciate the small daily progress made during recovery, rather than expecting to overcome addiction all at once, and to keep moving forward with courage and gratitude.

Through guided meditations, interactive exercises, and group reflections, this workshop provides a safe and supportive environment for individuals in recovery to rediscover their potential and build a foundation for lasting change. Whether you are new to mindfulness or seeking to deepen your practice, this workshop offers an invaluable opportunity to grow and thrive.
