The Refuge Recovery podcast episode titled 'Group Rep/Q&A Meeting- May 2025' offers a fascinating look into the inner workings of a Buddhist-oriented recovery programme. Led by Vanessa, a volunteer from Refuge Recovery World Services, this meeting isn't your typical peer-led gathering. Instead, it's a unique platform where Group Representatives from both online and in-person meetings come together to bridge the gap between their groups and World Services.
It's like a support group on steroids, where members can ask questions, share resources, and even bring forward new ideas. During this meeting, the focus is on democratic processes and ensuring that every voice is heard. The discussion covers everything from how to run a business meeting to the development of an Outreach Handbook by the H&I workgroup, which aims to bring Refuge Recovery meetings into hospitals and institutions.
There's even talk about how to handle emergency business meetings and fill service positions when volunteers are scarce. The episode also touches on the importance of maintaining structure within meetings, using scripts and guidelines to ensure everything runs smoothly. Vanessa shares her experiences with using these scripts, highlighting how they bring continuity and organisation to the meetings. It's clear that Refuge Recovery is committed to creating a supportive environment where recovery is not just possible but sustainable.
For anyone involved in Refuge Recovery or curious about its approach, this episode is a treasure trove of information and practical advice. Whether you're a Group Rep or simply interested in the democratic processes within recovery groups, there's something here for you. So, why not give it a listen and see how this innovative programme is making waves in addiction recovery?
