SUMMARY:Fall Gathering 2026
DESCRIPTION:Fall Gathering 2026\n50 Years and Still Growing\n\n\nSaturday November 7\, 2026 10:30am – 4:45pm (EST)New England Intergroup (NEI) of Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous present:\n\nIn-person Location:\nGrace Episcopal Church\n76 Eldredge St.\, Newton\, MA 02458\nThis is a hybrid (in-person & virtual) recovery event \nFall Gathering Flyer \nSchedule \n10:30 am Registration \n10:45 am Keynote Speaker(s) \n12:00 pm Lunch Break \n12:30 pm Session 1 – A Vision for the Future of SLAA in New England\nMarking fifty years of SLAA\, this session looks forward — naming why the fellowship’s meeting infrastructure has lagged behind other twelve-step programs (like Alcoholics Anonymous)\, and laying out a vision for closing that gap right here in New England. \n2:00 pm Session 2 – Compulsive sex and love addiction behaviors also provide ways to distance ourselves from experiencing intimacy. Some of us can’t even name our needs. Beneath the surface\, anorexia consists of not doing something. This session explores the avoidant\, anorectic side of sex and love addiction. \n3:30 pm Session 3 –  Healthy relationships (e.g.\, romantic\, familial\, platonic\, sponsorship\, higher power\, self\, etc.) can bring challenges and can also be frontiers of exploration along the recovery journey. “It is very hard to achieve a healthy relationship if you keep the emergency brake on\, and the emergency brake is the fear of abandonment\,” as stated by a seasoned S.L.A.A. member. In this session\, we will learn about how to set (and maintain) healthy boundaries\, let go of fantasy\, and move from neediness to love. \nThe day will include registration and time to speak with other recovering people\, followed by keynote speakers’ shares on the event theme\, and three (3) 1 hr 15 min recovery topic sessions.  Come for the whole day or whatever parts work for you\nIf you can help contact: activities@slaanei.org \nPizza and salad will be provided for lunch. Some participants may plan to have dinner together following the event (everyone included). A list of nearby restaurants will be available. \nCONTRIBUTION: $18.00 – More if you can\, less if you can’t. No one is turned away!\nYour donation helps NEI continue its work to help the addict who still suffers.\nIndividuals can contact the Activities Committee (activities@slaanei.org) to register if they require financial assistance to attend \nREGISTRATION\nPlease register in advance through the NEI website https://donorbox.org/fall-gathering-2026 or via USPS using the attached registration form. \nCONTACT\nPHONE: 617-625-7961\nWEBSITE: https://slaanei.org/\nEMAIL: Activities@slaanei.org \n\n\nSIGN UP HERE\n
