15 minute silent meditation followed by the Spiritual Principle a Day reading and sharing. This meeting gathers in a facility that is usually closed on holidays. This is a literature study group. This meeting encourages its participants to engage in quiet meditation.
This midday Narcotics Anonymous group meets every Tuesday at the Community Centre on Apsley Street, just off Donegall Pass in south Belfast. Sessions start at 12:00 and run for an hour and a quarter. The format is distinctive: fifteen minutes of silent meditation, followed by a reading from Spiritual Principle a Day and shared discussion. As a literature study group, it draws on NA texts to open up conversation, and it welcomes those who value a quieter, reflective space in the middle of the day. This is a members' meeting, for anyone with a desire to stop using drugs. Worth noting that the venue is usually closed on public holidays, so plan around bank holiday dates when checking whether the group is running.
Who can attend this meeting?
This is a closed NA meeting, which means it is for people who have a desire to stop using drugs. If that is you, you are welcome to come along. Closed simply refers to who attends, not to the venue being shut.
Do I need to book, and is there a cost?
No booking is needed and there is no charge to attend. NA meetings are free and self-supporting through members' own contributions. Just turn up before 12:00 on the day.
What happens in a meditation and SPAD meeting?
The session opens with fifteen minutes of silent meditation, then moves to a reading from the Spiritual Principle a Day book, followed by members sharing. It is a reflective, literature-focused format rather than a general share.
