About Us

Recovery Dharma PDX Intersangha

The PDX Intersangha consists of all participants in Recovery Dharma in the Greater Portland Area and beyond. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, our community has grown to include people from all over the world thanks to the magic of the internet! Zoom meetings supported by Recovery Dharma PDX include hosts and participants from across the globe.

Quarterly Intersangha Meetings

The Intersangha meets quarterly on the third Saturday of January, April, July and October at 10:30 a.m. on zoom.

The primary purpose of the Quarterly Intersangha meeting is for each meeting in the Intersangha to provide an update on their meeting. The meeting agenda may also include consideration of and voting on proposals regarding actions related to the Intersangha or the expenditure of Intersangha funds. We ask that a sangha member representing each meeting attend the quarterly Intersangha meeting to provide updates on their meeting and to vote on behalf of the sangha.

All Recovery Dharma PDX participants are invited to attend the quarterly Intersangha meetings, however, only one representative of a meeting may vote on behalf of the sangha.

60 percent of all existing meetings must have a representative present at the Intersangha meeting for a vote to be taken on any proposal.

Monthly Working Group Meetings

Intersangha officers and committee chairs meet every month (except August and December) on the second Saturday at 2:00 p.m. on zoom to stay informed regarding meeting needs and committee plans and to track emerging issues.

All Recovery Dharma PDX participants are invited to attend the monthly working group meetings.

Intersangha Officers and Committees

Intersangha officers and committee members, all of whom are volunteers, support existing meetings, assist with the establishment of new meetings, organize and assist with half-day recovery workshops, and nurture fellowship among Recovery Dharma members.

Intersangha officers are elected once a year, typically in January. Committee members may be elected or volunteer.

Both officers and committee chairpeople meet monthly (except August and December) to stay informed regarding meeting needs, plan workshops and retreats, and track emerging issues. All Recovery Dharma PDX participants are invited to attend these monthly meetings.
