What happens when staying sober, practicing the principles, and doing the small things day after day actually works?

This workshop explores the quieter transformation of recovery—the experience of going to bed without creating new wreckage, recognizing how far we've come, and discovering that recovery can become so much more than simply not drinking or using.

Together, we'll reflect on the lives we've built and imagine the possibilities still waiting to be written.

You'll explore: How small choices compound over time, how recovery extends beyond abstinence, and how to recognize progress you may be overlooking.

This workshop explores the promise of freedom from the fear of economic insecurity and how the Twelve Steps, Traditions, and spiritual principles can be applied directly to our financial lives.

We'll look at how fear, control, avoidance, and self-reliance can shape our relationship with money—and how recovery principles can replace fear with faith, responsibility, and right action. We'll also explore the Seventh Tradition and what being fully self-supporting can teach us about financial responsibility, humility, and freedom.

You'll explore: Practical ways to respond to financial fear, the spiritual principle of self-support, and the possibility that freedom from economic insecurity may be less about having more and more about no longer allowing fear to rule our lives.

Fear can show up almost anywhere—in our work, relationships, social lives, uncertainty about the future, and the many circumstances beyond our control. Recovery may not eliminate fear, but AA and the Twelve Steps offer us a different way to walk through it.

In this workshop, participants will explore how fear can influence our reactions, activate our character defects, and shape the choices we make. Together, we’ll look at practical and spiritual tools for responding to fear without returning to old behaviors—and consider what it means to develop a faith that works in everyday life.

You'll explore:  How to recognize the fears beneath everyday situations and reactions, develop healthier ways to respond when fear arises, and use spiritual principles and connection to move through uncertainty with greater courage, grace, and kindness toward ourselves and others.

How often do we believe we’re the only person who has felt a certain way, carried a particular struggle, or wondered whether we truly belong?

Crossing the Line is an interactive experience designed to reveal the connections that exist beneath the surface of our individual stories. Through a series of guided prompts and physical movement, participants will explore shared experiences related to recovery, identity, belonging, vulnerability, resilience, and hope.

As the experience unfolds, you may discover that some of the things you thought you carried alone are shared by people standing right beside you. The workshop concludes with an opportunity for reflection and connection, offering a powerful reminder that while our stories may be different, we rarely walk through them alone.

Participation and sharing are always optional.

You'll explore: The shared experiences that connect us in recovery and in life, how vulnerability and honesty can challenge feelings of isolation, and the role that belonging, resilience, and human connection can play in healing—while discovering that you may not be as alone as you think. 

When we first get sober, we may have an idea of what we want our new life to look like. But recovery has a way of taking us places we never expected. Careers change. Relationships evolve. Priorities shift. And sometimes, the life we discover is far richer than the one we originally imagined.

In this workshop, explore what it means to let go of expectations and become open to a life “beyond our wildest dreams.” Through step work, emotional sobriety, and the experience, strength, and hope of others, we’ll consider how recovery can help us discover what truly matters and navigate change with greater trust, purpose, and openness.

You'll explore:  How letting go of expectations can create space for growth, how step work can reveal the values that guide our lives, and how the principles of recovery can help us navigate change, make meaningful decisions, and embrace the unexpected.

Getting sober changes our lives—but putting down alcohol and other mind-altering substances doesn’t mean we stop struggling. Even after working the Steps, we can find ourselves deeply affected by people, circumstances, expectations, disappointments, and the things we simply cannot control.

Inspired by Bill W.’s writing The Next Frontier: Emotional Sobriety, this workshop explores what it means to deepen our recovery beyond physical sobriety and continue growing spiritually and emotionally. Together, we’ll look at the ways we can still depend on people, places, and things for our sense of security, worth, and peace—and how the principles of recovery can help us find greater emotional balance and freedom.

Through discussion, reflection, and shared experience, we’ll explore emotional sobriety not as a destination we finally reach, but as an ongoing practice: learning to recognize our reactions, loosen our dependence on outcomes, and meet life as it is rather than as we think it should be.

You'll explore:  What emotional sobriety means in everyday life; how dependence on people, circumstances, expectations, and outcomes can continue long after we stop drinking; how the principles of the Steps can support emotional and spiritual growth; and practical ways to cultivate greater acceptance, balance, freedom, and peace.
