- “So many sessions…how do I choose??” Here is a brief description to help guide you…
- Track 1: Working the Steps as outlined in the AA Big Book: These sessions will consist of one presenter per session who will cover the material in the Big Book of AA, identifying the directions for working the Steps being covered, and sharing their personal experience with working these Steps. This will be followed by Q&A. (45-60 minutes presentation, 15-30 minutes Q&A/discussion)
- Track 2: Workshops: These 75 minute sessions will include 1-3 presenters, followed by an interactive portion (which may include Q&A, discussion, writing, breakout groups, open sharing).
- Track 3: Special Focus: These 75 minute sessions will be structured much like a regular meeting of OA. The meeting will include 1-3 speakers who will share their ESH on the special focus topic, followed by open sharing and the opportunity to ask questions.
