ITAA North American Convention 2024

The second North American Convention (NAC) took place on September 27-29, 2024 at a rural retreat center in Maryland – a beautiful scenic farm and gathering place with the mantra “disconnect to connect.” Over 80 members attended in-person from near and far, including Hungary, the UK, Canada, Arizona, Illinois, Ohio, Colorado, North Carolina, California, Washington state, Washington DC, and from all over the northeastern U.S.

The event almost doubled last year’s attendance, breaking the record for the largest in-person gathering in ITAA history. It was additionally widely attended virtually during the four hybrid events broadcasted to the ITAA website, recordings of which can be found on the Recovery Stories page. We enjoyed three fellowship-packed days, with a wide array of events including speaker meetings, panels, workshops with topics ranging from working steps, to using art to gain abstinence, to creating healthy in-person meetings, an open mic night, and group top-line participation including gatherings for meditation, 2-way prayer, and running. We shared food, laughs, and friendship, forging deeper connections that remain integral to our recovery journeys long after the weekend’s closing.

Denmark ITAA Retreat 2024

On September 20th to 24th 2024, 5 ITAA members from 4 countries held a retreat in the countryside outside Ringsted, Denmark.

We did yoga and Qi-Gong together, cooked and ate together, and went together for a silent walk in the forest. Lots of meetings were held, and lots of fun was had. On Saturday night, the sauna was lit. The final meeting on Sunday was held on a raft on a small pond next to the venue!
