ICSAA 2020 Virtual Not an Outside Issue: Are Gender Bias and Sexism Holding AA Back?

secular AA Season 1 Episode 1

The first International gathering of agnostics, atheists and freethinkers in AA was in Santa Monica in 2014. In 2016 it was Austin and Toronto hosted 2018. Washington was going to host the in-person ICSAA2020 but that has been postponed to 2021 (fingers crossed at time of recording). So - we went virtual for our December 5, 2020 ICSAA gathering.

This is "It came from the Kitchen!"

Secular AA is AA sobriety that is neither religious nor irreligious, focusing on the practical, humanist tools of Alcoholics Anonymous and borrowed from the wider recovery community. Secular AA is a growing subculture within AA, offering 100 agnostic/atheist/freethinkers AA meetings every day + regional events and the International Conference of Secular AA (ICSAA).
