Recovering with Mindfulness is inclusive, welcoming individuals at any stage of recovery—whether you’re new to sobriety, following a 12-step program, or exploring other recovery pathways. The program’s action-oriented approach ensures participants leave with practical tools to sustain their growth and healing long after the program ends.

Guided by Expertise and Compassion

TALÁ is led by Nganthoi Tongbram, a certified facilitator trained in the Mindfulness in Recovery® (MIR) program. Developed by John Bruna, MIR is a globally recognized, evidence-based approach that has transformed lives across the United States and the United Kingdom. Participants consistently praise MIR as “life-changing,” with no recorded negative course evaluations—a testament to its profound impact.

In addition to MIR, Nganthoi is trained in Trauma Incident Reduction (TIR), an evidence-based psychotherapy technique that supports individuals in processing and resolving trauma effectively. For those whose recovery journey involves past trauma, TALÁ offers compassionate, proven methods to foster deep healing and lasting transformation.
