Thanissara

2017-11-06 The Buddha & Bill W. - November 6th 2017 1:22:57
George Haas
New York Insight Mediation Center welcomes Mettagroup founder George Haas as a guest teacher for the November 6 meeting of the Buddha and Bill W. group. Viewing addiction as being in essence an attachment disorder, George has created the Meditation Interventions for the Addiction Process program. Combining traditional meditation approaches, the relapse pattern theories from the work of G. Alan Marlatt, PhD., and John Bowlby’s Attachment Theory, the techniques and strategies covered in Meditation Interventions for the Addiction Process (MIAP) are specifically designed to support healing for people dealing with addiction and addiction-related issues. As evidenced by George’s own personal path, mindfulness meditation-based skills training can offer a truly effective behavioral change in the realm of addiction.
