Yoga of Recovery Symposium
with Durga Leela, E-RYT 500 and Reverend Jan M. Brown, MSc, B.A.
June 26 - 28, 2020
This symposium offers something to everyone affected by addiction in our communities. Join us and contribute to this movement to make a change and raise awareness about all issues surrounding addiction and how we, our families and communities, can heal from these issues.
Empower • Equip • Resource • Resilience
Part of the sacred journey of modern life is to move from a life filled with stress and distraction to a life of healing and wholeness. Each person adds value as we overcome not just Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) but also Adverse Community and Climate Experiences. Addiction and self-destructive behaviors can no longer be seen as the problem on purely an individual level, we must rally to create recovery supported systems of care throughout our communities
Immediately following the annual Yoga of Recovery® program, we are delighted to host this Recovery Symposium at Yogaville.
Recovery is a voluntarily maintained lifestyle characterized by sobriety, personal health, and citizenship—participation in the rights, roles, and responsibilities of society. It is a journey and how people experience it will change over time. Recovery is both a personal quality and a lived experience. It happens in the community, not in the clinic (treatment is only the start of the recovery journey, and will not be needed by everyone who seeks recovery). And recovery does not happen in isolation—it is generally learned from other people who have gone down the same road and who ‘mentor’ or model the methods and principles of recovery
Both Jan and Durga are presenters at the Annual National Recovery Conference. They have each developed programs/organizations, over decades of work and research, to address recovery and healing from all issues related to addictions, eating disorders, dysfunctional families, intergenerational trauma, institutionalized racism, and suicide.
