Step 4 Workshop: Resentment, Fear & Sex Conduct Inventory

This intensive 90-minute working session will guide participants through completing a full Step 4 inventory, including Resentments, Fear, and Sex Conduct, plus the creation of the Sexual Ideal. Bring a pen and your willingness—this session is about doing the work, not just talking about it.

Note: For the most impactful experience, it is highly recommended to attend both Step 4 and Step 9 sessions.

FRIDAY, JUNE 26th 1:30pm

Through interactive activities, storytelling, and group discussions, you’ll identify your strengths and learn how to apply them to overcome adversity and recovery challenges. By sharing experiences and reflecting on personal growth, you’ll leave with practical tools to build resilience, enhance coping skills, and empower your recovery.

Sober Sex!
*gay men focused

Our time together will center around the challenging but rewarding journey of shifting from substance-induced artificial erotic experience to authentic erotic exchange and intimacy which can only be obtained when we’re sober and fully embodied. We’ll discuss how this manifests in the different stages of recovery, explore how the life-force of eros comes alive uniquely in each of us and then the role of emotional vulnerability when coming forward with who we are erotically when engaging sexually with others. We’ll also take some time to unpack the treasure chest of available practices that can help us to continue cultivating our capacity to be present for ourselves and others in the sexual arena. There will be lots of time for discussion/Q&A and we’ll finish with an experiential exercise designed to create a deeper felt sense of connection with our sober gay brothers.

FRIDAY, JUNE 26th 3:30pm

This interactive, movement-based workshop invites participants to explore the narratives that shape their lives—and to begin rewriting them.
Through guided reflection, embodied exercises, and partner sharing, we’ll disrupt default patterns, map where we’re at in our journeys, and make space for something new to emerge.
Expect honesty, laughter, movement, and meaningful connection. You’ll leave with a deeper awareness of your inner landscape and a clearer sense of the story you’re ready to live into next.

SATURDAY, JUNE 27th 10am

Step 9 Workshop: Amends in Action

In this hands-on 90-minute session, participants will use their Step 8 list and practice crafting verbal scripts for Step 9 amends. This is a practical workshop focused on clarity, accountability, and readiness to make meaningful change.

Note: For the most impactful experience, it is highly recommended to attend both Step 4 and Step 9 sessions.

In the end, you’ll walk away with a personal action plan to transform your search for love.
