Our Philosophy on Addiction Recovery

[music] The magic of what the living room has to offer is in the clinical [music] experience so that people have a reason to come. It's a voluntary program and that's something [music] I learned in private practice is, you know, you have to offer people extraordinary experiences to have them want to come back. And so that was our goal. I quickly began [music] to realize that what it ultimately could be and is is just an extension of my practice. That I've been studying Buddhism [music] for 35 years. I've been sober for over 25. So, I figured if I built a business that invited [music] me into my practice on a daily basis, could be a win-win situation. And that's really what the living room is for the people who work here. [music] It's an opportunity to continue on this path of developing the skill sets necessary to connect with the elements of our here and now experience [music] so that we can see them authentically, respond to them at worst with neutrality and at best [music] with loving kindness. And if we do that on a daily basis, if we get some critical mass of people in this building doing exactly that [music] moment by moment, it affords everyone else not yet willing or capable of doing that into a space where they they suddenly can. It's an invitation [music] into accepting, caring for, and seeing the love that lives behind every element of our here and now experience. [music]
