Kelli advised WSO has an event page.
Connie expressed interested in putting together a workshop on shame. Connie asked the
meeting reps to poll their meetings to aid in assessing the level of interest. Topics addressed at
such a workshop could be:
childhood shame
how shame is transferred from adults to children
adulthood shame
how to release shame
The workshop would be about 3 hours long and would be held at The Bridge following the
Saturday 10:00 AM meeting. Connie asked meeting reps to advise her via email.
Connie also suggested Don do an open mike at some coffee house or pub, with the audience
salted with ACA members as an ACA night out. Don will consider the suggestion.
