Online Mindfulness In Recovery® course

Along with the many challenges and hardships that came with the pandemic, some opportunities also arose. One of them is the innovation of online courses and resources to connect people that otherwise would not have access. Now you don’t need to live near a group or center to receive a wide range of support, education, and resources to cultivate your highest potentials and live a life you find truly meaningful. Our core program is now online and accessible to everyone around the world.

The online Mindfulness in Recovery® (MIR) course has been specifically designed to support people from all walks of life, whether you are in recovery of any kind, a family member or friend, or a professional working in the treatment field, to develop the skills to reduce stress, increase resiliency, and more fully engage in their lives with more connection and joy.

Our Course Supports

This was an amazing course to be a part of. It is a perfect fit for the work we do as clinicians in substance abuse. I hope to continue to use the tools gained in this course to help others.
-Carrie Cook

One of the wonderful and empowering gifts of this course is the essential understanding we gain in our own recovery.
Margo B

Taking this course I have experienced lasting and profound changes that are not only beneficial to me but others as well.
Lynn M

As I am sure you know, this program benefits all people, as someone who is not necessarily in “recovery” but is sober- I was concerned that this would be an issue however, it was absolutely not. This program is for all people regardless of stage of recovery or in recovery at all. I am grateful that I was given the opportunity to take this course and I believe that my work/employer only gains from giving me this for myself and in helping our clients as they go through the program! So much gratitude!

Before this course I did not know you could practice and live mindfully, I never knew how much my life would change once I learned how to do this. John Bruna, you created a wonderful program that has changed my life and Dan, you facilitated the whole experience wonderfully.

“I have thoroughly enjoyed this course. It is thought-provoking, interesting, and provides relevant, useful tools both for self-growth and in practice with others. John is so knowledgeable, supportive, and engaging in his delivery and feedback – highly recommend the course.”

People in recovery (all pathways, including 12-step)
Family and friends affected by people struggling with substances or other mental health issues (receive the Family and Friends Guidebook to MIR)
Clinicians, therapists, and addiction treatment professionals (receive 30 NAADAC CEUs and serves as a prerequisite for the certification course)

Develop more inner peace, resiliency, and joy in your recovery
Reduce stress and anxiety
Improve attention, mental stability, and focus
Acquire more emotional balance
Live with more meaning and purpose

Mindfulness In Recovery® Course details

You can enroll and begin at any time. It is experiential and focused on helping participants cultivate a daily mindfulness practice that integrates the MIR skills into daily life.

The course is interactive with live weekly sessions, daily activities, and exercises from either the Essential Guidebook to Mindfulness in Recovery or the Family and Friends edition. Lessons include videos, instruction with John Bruna, and interaction with others in the course in our live sessions.

If you enroll in the 8-week program, you will have 10 weeks to complete the course. If you enroll in the self-paced program, you have 6 months. There are different live sessions to choose from per week to fit your schedule.

Everyone in the United States receives a copy of the Essential Guidebook to Mindfulness in Recovery or the Family and Friends edition, and access to the private online course platform accessible by computer, tablet, or mobile phone. You are able to interact with others in the course on that platform and in the course sessions.
