ISAA Fall Retreat October 20, 21, 22, 2023
The Promises guarantee it; and, our own experience, strength and hope confirm that we will be amazed by our life in recovery. When we finally break through our denial, we may be awestruck by the depths to which our addiction took us. In recovery, we will be even more amazed at the transformative power of the SAA 12-Step program to improve our lives.
The IISAA 2023 Fall Retreat will be offered as a hybrid event. Our 29th annual retreat will be held at the amazingly beautiful Camp Pyoca, for those who are comfortable with an in-person experience. However, some of the breakout sessions will also be held via Zoom. This will allow those who are uncomfortable convening at the camp to share in the experience, strength and hope that the retreat offers. It will also make it possible for us to have presenters join us from anywhere in the world.
This retreat is for sex addicts and codependents of sex addicts who are members of SA, SAA, SCA, SLAA and COSA.

ISAA Fall Retreat October 21, 22, 23, 2022
Recovery, like addiction and life itself, occurs randomly. As much as we would like to organize, manage and control them, they all happen at their own pace and often in unplanned ways. During the IISAA 2022 Fall Retreat, we will focus on the experience, strength, and hope we receive from R a n d o m A c t s o f R e c o v e r y .
Our 28th annual retreat will be offered as a hybrid event. The retreat will
be held at beautiful Camp Pyoca, for those who are comfortable with an in-person experience. However, some of the breakout sessions will also be held via Zoom.
This will allow those who are uncomfortable convening at the camp to share in the experience, strength and hope that the retreat offers. It will also make it possible for us to have presenters join us from anywhere in the world.
