Volunteer to Host the 2023 Spring Workshop
Grow Your Group, Discover Hidden Talents, Meet People, Provide Service Contact the Workshop CommitteeJoining a group to put on an AA workshop was a springboard for my emotional growth. How great that there’s a goal, a beginning and an end. It’s all the brainstorming, tolerance, compromising, and accountability mixed in the middle that makes it memorable.

We learned about surprising depths of talent in our group. Talents that are not obvious during regular meetings. Everyone inside and outside the group was willing to help and give it their very best.
Sample Topics: Be Inspired; Think Creatively
Inspiration from the International Women's Conference
- Twelve Traditions applied to other parts of life (example: jobs, marriage, and family)
- Handling when someone goes back out
- Courage to change
- Grief and loss in recovery
- On awakening, let us think about the day ahead
- Self-will run riot
- Relationships in recovery
Other Workshop Topics
- Contempt prior to investigation
- The AA tool-kit
- A deep dive on any step
- EGO: Edging God Out
- The welcome mat: how do we engender attraction to AA groups
Brainstorming and discussing possible topics is part of creative group development. Sharing ideas about how a topic might be approached, what is topical considering the societal cimate, or one group members struggle with a concept. Discussions navigate a group towards a topic.
