Arielle S

June is Pride Month! See a panel of Queer Fellows sharing their experience, strength, and hope... via moderated questions.

The CoDA community is diverse, and it is important to have representation of that diversity. What is common is learning to love the self and exploring identity. Queer Fellows likely have extra experience, strength, and hope to offer in those areas.

"My Subconscious Can't Take a Joke" .mp3 download

Barbara L

We will draw attention to what we think and say and see if we believe what we hear and say what we mean.

Our subconscious is always listening to our thoughts and words—and putting meaning to them. What we HEAR, if we hear it often enough, becomes our BELIEF. I will offer examples and opportunities to see what we think and say showing the meanings our subconscious hears. With awareness perhaps we can change some beliefs about ourselves.

"Setting Healthy Priorities through Calendaring" .mp3 download

Vanessa C

Do you end the week having accomplished everyone's priorities but your own? This workshop will cover calendaring as a tool for finding serenity and sanity.

Do you ever find yourself up until 1am finishing something due the next day? Blind-sided by an appointment you forgot about? At the end of the week having accomplished everyone's priorities but your own? One codependent pattern is "having trouble setting healthy priorities and boundaries." I will share my experience, strength, and hope around scheduling my time – and specifically a tool for preparing for the week ahead. If you are interested in learning about how I have used calendaring to bring serenity into my life, please stop by this workshop.

Workshop

"Cultural Codependency:

When Cultures Clash with Recovery" .mp3 download

Isabella Y

In our increasingly global community, we may discover our newfound recovery can conflict with either our own native culture or adopted culture abroad, contributing to or amplifying codependent patterns with far-reaching impact. Bring your Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions-green workbook (not required).

In our increasingly global community, we may discover our newfound recovery can conflict with either our own native culture or adopted culture abroad, contributing to or amplifying codependent patterns with far-reaching impact.

As a first generation American of Italian parents who migrated later in life and a sponsor to internationals, I’ve observed this first-hand. My own recovery journey has helped me to identify, assess and overcome cultural expectations that were both in conflict with American society…and with the healthy and loving relationships I desire.

This workshop seeks to help people identify, address and navigate the potential pitfalls of cultural codependency using CoDA steps and traditions. Bring your Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions-green workbook (not required).
