Take a pause from the busyness of life and recovery’s daily challenges. This weekly AA meeting is centered on Step 11 and the practice of meditation as a tool for spiritual growth, self-awareness, and inner peace.
Together, we explore how meditation can help us develop a deeper connection with ourselves, our recovery, and a Higher Power of our own understanding. Whether you’re curious about meditation, looking to strengthen your practice, or simply seeking a quiet space to reflect, you’ll find a welcoming and supportive community here.
No meditation experience is necessary.
Come as you are.

A fundamental assumption of AA and all 12-Step recovery programs is that we work on ourselves to become better people. Those attending the Fellowship Nooner meetings share their thoughts on readings such as those presented in daily addiction recovery readers. For example, from August 6 in Daily Reflections: Driven by a hundred forms of fear, self-delusion, self-seeking, and self-pity, we step on the toes of our fellows, and they retaliate. From April 6 in Walk in Dry Places: I’ll check myself today to see if false pride is dictating what I say and do. The more I can let others see me as I really am, the more honest my relationships will be.

The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking. There are no dues or fees for AA membership; we are self-supporting through our own contributions.

Step 1: We admitted we were powerless over alcohol — that our lives are becoming manageable.
Principle 1: Honesty
Promise 1: We are going to know a new freedom and a new happiness.
Tradition 1: Our common welfare should come first; personal recovery depends upon AA unity.

Sex Addicts Anonymous
2030-06-29 19:00 - 20:00
Sex Addicts Anonymous (SAA) is a 60-minute meeting to support recovery from compulsive sexual behaviour. As a community of recovering sex addicts, SAA offers a message of hope to anyone who suffers from sex addiction. Through long and painful experience, we came to realize that we were powerless over our sexual thoughts and behaviours and that our preoccupation with sex was causing progressively severe adverse consequences for us, our families, and our friends. Despite many failed promises to ourselves and attempts to change, we discovered that, by ourselves, we were unable to stop acting out sexually. Many of us came to this realization when we started attending SAA meetings. In that setting we heard stories like ours and realized that recovery from our problem was possible. We learned through the SAA program that we were not hopelessly defective.
We find a new way of living through the SAA program and carry our message to others seeking recovery. Our Saturday evening meeting offers an accepting, non-threatening environment where we can share our common struggles and learn how to apply the principles of SAA to our everyday lives. The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop addictive sexual behaviour. There is no cost to attend, although all SAA meetings ask for voluntary donations to support the meeting.
