Art for Self Discovery Thursday, October 3⋅5:15 – 6:45pm | Weekly on Thursday Description:This program is founded on the belief that self-expression through artistic creation has therapeutic value for those who are seeking deeper understanding of themselves and their emotions. In this art therapy form we use our inborn desire to create. Providing space for our feelings to show up in our artworks. These sessions will mostly use fine art based techniques, such as drawing and painting, but we will also explore other forms of artistic expressions, like writing, singing and dancing. The instructor will gently guide the group with various exercises and questions, giving enough time for the individuals to explore and experience their own creative process as well as share with others in the group. The benefits of this practice include reducing stress and anxiety, self-discovery, releasing emotions, as well as building strength and confidence.    Group will lead by Rita Bolla, MFA Artist and practitioner of Expressive Art Therapy. https://samadhiny.org/calendar

Parents in Recovery Friday, October 4⋅5:00 – 6:00pm | Weekly on Friday Description:A support group for parents fighting addiction of any kind. Any stage of recovery is welcome. Adults in recovery face many day-to-day challenges, and for those who are parents, maintaining good relationships with children can be both rewarding and daunting at the same time. Addressing parenting issues during various stages of recovery can lead to enhanced quality of the parent-child relationship, especially during adolescence. Research has shown that effective parenting is one of the most critical influences on healthy adolescent development—and for parents in recovery, parenting might be an even more critical factor given children's heightened risk for problems with substance use. All parents find it difficult to balance warm and supportive parenting with having to hold a child responsible for his/her behavior. But parents must realize that age appropriate rule-setting and positive discipline are necessary and will most likely lead to better child outcomes in the long-term.  Please notify Samadhi within 24 hours of group if childcare is needed. https://samadhiny.org/calendar




The Samadhi Recovery Community Outreach Center is a non-profit organization grounded in the belief that Mindfulness based principles and practices create a strong foundation for a path to freedom from addiction. These are evidenced based practices with extensive body of research behind them. This is an approach to recovery that understands: All individuals have the power and potential to free themselves from the suffering that is caused by addiction. We feel confident in the power of mindfulness and compassion to relieve suffering of all kinds, including the suffering of addiction. This is a process that cultivates a path of awakening, the path of recovering from the addictions and delusions that have created so much suffering in our lives and in this world.
