PAST EVENTS
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.
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 15, 16, 17, 2021
Recovery is not a destination, it is a journey. Addicts use the term “recovering” rather than “recovered” as an acknowledgment of this reality. During the IISAA 2021 Fall Retreat, we will focus on the experience, strength, and hope we receive while On the Road to Recovery.
Our 27th 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.
This retreat is for sex addicts and codependents of sex addicts who are members of SA, SAA, SCA, SLAA, and COSA.
