Wise Friends Suggested Guidelines<\/span><\/h4>\n

The Recovery Dharma YYC Practice Committee, along with long standing members of the sangha, have developed some guidelines that may be useful to reference while connecting with wise friends.<\/p>\n

\n

 <\/p>\n

    \n
  • It is helpful but not necessary to\u00a0get together for coffee\/tea the first time you meet. This is a good way to get to know each other and begin to see if this will be the right fit.<\/li>\n
  • Come up with a general timeline together (meetings, meditations, emails with instructions, etc).<\/li>\n
  • Explain generally what each e-mail will consist of.<\/li>\n
  • Start\u00a0a meditation\u00a0practice right away\u00a0with a text check-in.<\/li>\n
  • If it feels right, have them do a voicemail check-in each night.<\/li>\n
  • This\u00a0is their journey, slow down, speed up, add things in that will support them where they are at.<\/li>\n
  • You\u00a0should not feel like you are doing more work than they are.<\/li>\n
  • Set\u00a0clear boundaries (eg: no middle of the night calls, I am not a counsellor, etc.)<\/li>\n
  • Set\u00a0clear expectations (eg: commit to the work on the timeline agreed upon, daily mediation practice, etc.)<\/li>\n
  • Everyone\u00a0is different and will have a different mentoring style. Knowing your own and the other options helps to assess\u00a0who the\u00a0best\u00a0match may be.<\/li>\n
  • Keep it focused on the practice and recovery.<\/li>\n
  • Encourage outside support and therapy.<\/li>\n
  • Insight Timer is a great, free mediation app.<\/li>\n
  • They are responsible for their own relationships with Sangha members.\u00a0As a wise friend we do not get involved unless the health and safety of the group is being affected.<\/li>\n
  • Ensure there is a serious attempt at\u00a0abstinence from all substances and that they are actively working on\u00a0 identified process addictions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
