Adult Children of Alcoholics (ACA)/Dysfunctional Families is a Twelve Step, Twelve Tradition program of people who grew up in dysfunctional homes.

We meet to share our experience of growing up in an environment where abuse, neglect and trauma infected us. This affects us today and influences how we deal with all aspects of our lives.

Meditation

Mondays from 6 PM – 7 PM
Love Offering

We gather to listen to a chapter of an inspirational book and then take what we learned into a meditation with music. We start with setting our intention with the lighting of candles and speaking our intention aloud.

Recovery Dharma

Fridays at 5:30 PM
Love Offering

At First City Teaching Chapter, we are proud to offer Recovery Dharma, a peer-led program combining Buddhist principles and practices to support individuals in recovery from addiction. This non-theistic approach focuses on personal empowerment, community support, and spiritual growth through meditation, self-inquiry, and the Noble Eightfold Path.

Recovery Dharma helps participants cultivate mindfulness, emotional balance, and deeper self-awareness while fostering a supportive community through regular meetings. It emphasizes the importance of renouncing addictive behaviors, building relationships with wise friends and mentors, and embracing a lifelong journey of healing and awakening.

Open to individuals of all backgrounds, Recovery Dharma offers an inclusive, accessible recovery path grounded in wisdom, compassion, and personal growth without requiring adherence to any specific religious belief.

For more information on how Recovery Dharma can support your recovery journey, visit Recovery Dharma’s official website.

Community Acupuncture

Every 2nd & 4th Wednesday

Where ancient healing meets deep rest.

Join us every 2nd & 4th Wednesday at 93D Orange St. for a unique community wellness experience that blends the therapeutic power of acupuncture with the guided, deep relaxation of Yoga Nidra.

While you rest comfortably in a chair, gentle acupuncture points are activated to stimulate the body’s natural healing energy, relieve stress, and restore balance. At the same time, a soothing Yoga Nidra meditation will lead you into a peaceful, dreamlike state between sleep and wakefulness—where deep restoration and emotional clarity can unfold.

No prior experience needed
