The primary purpose of the Mud and Lotus Collective is to offer a Buddhist-inspired path to recovery from addiction of all kinds. We gather together every week to do meditation, read from Buddhist recovery books, and have a discussion. Currently meeting at the UU Church of Bloomington on Thursdays at 6:30 pm. Open to all.

Women Taking the Steps meets every Friday in our Library. It is an in-person, closed discussion group for women. Closed meetings are for A.A. members only; for those who have a drinking problem and “have a desire to stop drinking.” Learn more and find other area Alcoholics Anonymous meetings at area23aa.org/meetings.

For this campaign, we are hosting a small group information session to share details about the seed fund, the process of hiring a second minister, answer questions, and ask for your financial support. 

Snacks and refreshments will be provided. Childcare will be provided for the June 27th event at the church. 

We look forward to being together in person!
