Please Note: All of the events are listed according to Eastern Time Zone.
Join us for a virtual workshop offering practical experience for newcomers, members looking to strengthen their recovery, and those beginning to sponsor others.
Two members with years of abstinence will share what has worked for them and their sponsees, including insights on getting started, maintaining momentum in recovery, and supporting other fellows through sponsorship.
Join us for three virtual sessions helping create a secular Step Study Guide for Steps One, Two, and Three.
Participants are invited to share their own understanding of each Step and how they work it as part of a deity-free recovery journey. Each 90-minute session will focus on one Step, and the shared experiences will help shape locally produced Overeaters Anonymous literature for meetings with an atheist, agnostic, or secular focus.
No writing is necessary. The sessions will be transcribed, so participants can simply come prepared to share their experience. For questions or language translation needs, contact the organizers in advance.
Join us for a virtual workshop exploring body acceptance through diverse experiences in Overeaters Anonymous recovery.

Following the speaker shares, participants will have an opportunity for guided reflection and open sharing. Please bring something to write with and something to write on.
