Online Mindfulness In Recovery® course

Along with the many challenges and hardships that came with the pandemic, some opportunities also arose. One of them is the innovation of online courses and resources to connect people that otherwise would not have access. Now you don’t need to live near a group or center to receive a wide range of support, education, and resources to cultivate your highest potentials and live a life you find truly meaningful. Our core program is an 8-week online course that is now accessible to everyone, no matter where you live.

This course supports:

  • People in recovery (all pathways, including 12-step)
  • Family and friends affected by addiction (receive the Family and Friends Guidebook to MIR) 
  • Clinicians, therapists, and addiction treatment professionals (receive 36 CEUs and serves as a prerequisite for the certification course)
  • Incorporates the latest evidence-based treatment modalities

“This was an amazing course to be a part of. It is a perfect fit for the work we do as clinicians in substance abuse. I hope to continue to use the tools gained in this course to help others.”
Carrie Cook
As I am sure you know, this program benefits all people, as someone who is not necessarily in “recovery” but is sober- I was concerned that this would be an issue however, it was absolutely not. This program is for all people regardless of stage of recovery or in recovery at all. I am grateful that I was given the opportunity to take this course and I believe that my work/employer only gains from giving me this for myself and in helping our clients as they go through the program! So much gratitude!

One of the wonderful and empowering gifts of this course is the essential understanding we gain of our own recovery.

Before this course I did not know you could practice and live mindfully, I never knew how much my life would change once I learned how to do this. John Bruna, you created a wonderful program that has changed my life and Dan, you facilitated the whole experience wonderfully.
