The meetings are set up so that all stepwork can be done within our meeting times (though there are optional additional writing exercises each week if you\u2019d like to go deeper). You\u2019ll also have an opportunity to match up with a sharing partner so that in between meetings you can share your stepwork, and a number of group sponsors will also be available for outreach calls and additional support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are several workshops that meet at a different times and cycle, with new workshops typically starting every month or two. In order to participate in an upcoming workshop cycle, you must attend the first meeting which can be found on the calendar below.

You can enable translated subtitles in your language by entering the meeting, clicking on the \u201cCaptions\u201d button at the bottom of the screen, and enabling translation. Additionally, if you are interested in helping translate the workshop scripts, whether for your own benefit or for others who speak your language, we have a guide on how to do so <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/1OJ3uzB_MhSd5IrNQd430qMLXHy3vvqV1lu-dr8x7jsI\/edit?usp=drive_link\">\u3053\u3053<\/a>.<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What if I can\u2019t make it to the first meeting?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this case, we encourage you to wait until the next cycle starts up. Every meeting builds on the previous one, so it\u2019s important to be present from the start. If you absolutely have to miss the first meeting for an unavoidable reason, please reach out to openpathstepworkshop@gmail.com with as much advance notice as possible.<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What if I have to miss a meeting partway through?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have to miss a session for an unavoidable reason, we ask that you read through the notes afterwards and catch up on the writing.&nbsp;<br><br> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Do I need a sponsor to participate?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not at all\u2014the workshop is specifically designed to give people an opportunity to work through the Steps even if they don\u2019t have a sponsor. As part of the workshop, you\u2019ll have the opportunity to connect with one or more sharing partners with whom you can share your stepwork, and we\u2019ll also have several group sponsors who will be available to receive calls and give additional support. It\u2019s also great if you already have a sponsor, and you\u2019re welcome to share your stepwork with them. All are welcome.<br><br> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Is it okay to participate if I\u2019m not sure yet if I want to work the Steps?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Absolutely. It\u2019s fine to simply participate as an observer if you\u2019re curious in learning more about what the Steps are and how they work.<br><br> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Can I contribute to the workshop by taking on a service role?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Service is a great way to bolster our own sobriety and it can also help us show up and stay committed to the workshop. At the introductory meeting there will be an opportunity to volunteer for service roles.<br><br> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Is there anything I can do to prepare for the workshop before it starts?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At our first meeting we\u2019ll suggest several commitments to practice for the duration of the workshop. You\u2019re welcome to get a headstart on them if you\u2019d like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Attend 90 meetings in 90 days (the workshop meetings count)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make 90 program calls in 90 days<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Abstain from all bottom lines.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Practice observing and\/or letting go of unnecessary internet and technology use.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the fourth suggestion, you may also find some word other than \u201cunnecessary\u201d to be a better fit, such as \u201cunconscious\u201d, \u201cpurposeless\u201d, \u201cunhealthy\u201d, \u201ccompulsive\u201d, \u201cexcessive\u201d, etc. Note that these are just suggestions, not requirements. You are free to use them, adjust them, or set them aside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to these suggestions, you can write a 1\u20132 page \u201cStep One inventory\u201d describing the story of your addiction: when it started, how it changed over time, and how it is now. In particular, you might pay attention to where you notice powerlessness or unmanageability in your story.&nbsp;<br><br> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>For any additional questions<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Feel free to reach out to <a href=\"mailto:openpathstepworkshop@gmail.com\">openpathstepworkshop@gmail.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n<!-- PMB print buttons is only displayed on a single post\/page URLs-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This page contains a list of upcoming Open Path Step Workshops, structured settings for working through the Twelve Steps of ITAA in a group with lots of built in support.
