The Buddhist Recovery Network promotes the use of Buddhist teachings and practices to help people recover from the suffering caused by addictive behaviors and is open to people of all backgrounds, and respectful of all recovery paths.

990-EZ for the year ended December 31, 2023

Program accomplishments

  • Core Events: In 2023, we hosted 12 monthly Academy teachings taught by established Buddhist teachers and attended by 50 to 100 participants per online event. These Dharma teachings were offered through the lens of recovery and shared practices that helped participants establish and maintain healthy recovery from addictive behaviors. In 2023, we offered weekly Buddhist Recovery sampler meetings hosted by various Buddhist Recovery groups, including a recurring BIPOC affinity 8-Step Recovery group. Through these sampler meetings, community members connected with others for support, with intention to find the right Buddhist Recovery group with whom they could sustain regular meetings on a long-term basis. Recovery meeting participants may have come once or returned week after week. Each peer-led meeting had 5-10 participants on average.
    Expenses $1,800
  • Web Resources: In 2023, we began redesigning our website to make it more user-friendly, equitable and accessible, as well as to make it easier to create and maintain content for. On our existing website, we maintained a current Buddhist Recovery meetings locator for both national and international online and in-person meetings of all participating Buddhist Recovery groups. Our meetings roster was used by hundreds of people worldwide in 2023. We began creating new content for new members, existing members, families in recovery and those who support others in recovery. We planned our Safer Sanghas web section, to be publicly released in 2024. We began recording a new series of podcasts featuring sober voices and Buddhist Recovery community members to be edited for release in 2024.
    Expenses $2,168
  • Safer Sanghas: In 2023, we held internal and community discussions of what makes a Buddhist Recovery meeting or group a safe space to practice in. Using the core intentions of healing, growth, compassion, interconnectedness and contemplative practices, we envisioned what would make Buddhist Recovery community meetings, events and other gatherings more diverse, equitable, inclusive, accessible and safe from bias and misconduct. We hired a Program Consultant who documented our work, we researched existing trainings we could connect community members to, and created resource lists to be shared on our new website. We began the first year of planning for our biannual Summit, establishing its date, location and early programming ideas. We planned for sharing these Safer Sanghas materials at the upcoming Summit, to offer a Safer Sanghas workshop there, as well as to offer them as an online resource.
