Frequently Asked Questions

General Information

What is the Recovery Dharma Summit?

Since the beginning, Recovery Dharma has held an annual Summit over the summer. While we offer online events throughout the year, this is the one time of year we are able to gather in-person, share our experiences, hear each other’s stories, and deepen our recovery. It is a weekend full of bringing together members, facilitators, mentors, and friends from all walks of life to share in the joy that is Recovery Dharma.

Who can attend the Summit?

The Summit is open to all members of the Recovery Dharma community. This is both for those we are well-acquainted with our program and those who are curious or just beginning. Whether you’re new to the practice or have been involved for years, you are welcome!

Registration & Costs

What is included in the cost?

The costs for in-person include access to all programming, light refreshments, coffee, and tea. This does not include lodging or any other meals.

Are there scholarships available?

We offer a limited number of scholarships to attend the Summit every year. Our application window is typically February 1 to April 1, with awards granted in early May.

Conference Schedule & Activities

What can I expect at the conference?

The weekend will include guided meditations, Dharma talks, breakout workshops, panel discussions, and opportunities to connect with the global Recovery Dharma community. There will be ample time for self and group reflection, bonding, and sharing space with one another. We also will have fun and entertaining evening activities at night, as well as RD meetings throughout the weekend.

What should I bring to the conference?

We recommend bringing comfortable clothing, a journal, a refillable water bottle, and anything you need for meditation (like a cushion or small blanket). We also will be providing daily yoga/movement, so a yoga mat is encouraged, but not necessary. There will be ones to use if you don’t feel like traveling with one. Please keep in mind that attendees are responsible for their own food options. Please plan accordingly. Most importantly, bring an open heart and a willingness to connect!
