My name is Paul Hedderman. I have been involved with the recovery community since 1988, and have been leading workshops and holding talks for 18 years. Many of the talks are available here for you to listen to and download. If by finding them valuable in any way, and you are moved to donate to the upkeep of my lavish lifestyle, that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Paul.

The Trip to What's Not Happening

In a while, if you don’t get engaged in the contents, you may become engaged in the CONTEXT — in the consciousness of what’s WITNESSING everything showing up — the station — instead of getting on the trains of thoughts and trains of feelings coming by, for them to carry you away . . .
