Our Program

Raft Recovery was founded by people in recovery who discovered that working a 12‑Step program alongside a secular Buddhist practice created a powerful foundation for change. The accountability and community of the 12 Steps, combined with the Buddha’s teachings — the Four Noble Truths, the Eightfold Path, and the Brahmavihāras (the heart practices) — offer a practical, grounded way to deepen our recovery.

Together, these traditions help us reduce suffering, increase our usefulness to others, and cultivate a more satisfying and meaningful life.
