What and When is Convention?
The CoDA Convention is
where co-dependents meet to celebrate their recovery. The Convention is usually held every two years,
but has not been on a standard schedule last several years.
Who can attend?
Basically anyone can attend. However, if
you are not co-dependent, many of the workshops may not be of interest
to you. But you do not have to hold any type of position with CoDA
or your local CoDA meeting.
How do I get informational packets for CSC?
Whenever a Convention is held, certain
information will be placed on this website for your information.
The committee rarely sends out official
packets, only giving information on this website.
How do I register?

Program
2009 CODA CONVENTION
“Independent and Free”
You are invited! So mark your
calendars!
CoDA Inc. is delighted to announce
the CoDA International Convention,
which will be held July 9 - 12, 2009 in
Seattle, Washington. Though July
2009 may sound like a long ways off, it’ll be here before you
know it. Early registration is suggested to guarantee your space.
Located South of downtown Seattle is an absolutely wonderful setting for
the CoDA community and other 12 Step programs to come together to share
our experience, strength, and hope.
Why a Convention? The convention
provides the forum for those in recovery to come together in fellowship
to share our stories, to share the joy that recovery brings, to
experience new levels of awareness, and opportunities to grow in our
recovery with the support, love, and understanding of other’s working
their program. As we work the Twelve Steps and follow the Twelve
Traditions, we seek to manifest the 12 Promises in our lives. In so
doing, our goal is to experience Knowing a New Freedom in the here
and now. We are discovering a whole new way of living, grounded in
truth, a newfound joy in living in the moment. We open our hearts to the
light of wisdom, the warmth of love and the joy of acceptance. The
Convention venue will include a wide array of workshops, opportunities
for prayer and guided meditation, personal time for silence and
reflection, and ample time for fun, fellowship, and laughter.
Seattle is known for its great
coffee and is called “The Emerald City.” We have a wide variety
of entertainment and recreational destinations with natural environment
and scenery. You must not miss Pike Street Marketplace which has the
best shopping in the Northwest with local artists, historical/cultural
events, the first Starbuck’s coffee house and museums. Take a great
ferry ride over to one of the small islands near by or go to the top of
the Space Needle at the Seattle Convention Center. All who visit fall
in love with the “Great Northwest.” Come discover Seattle in fellowship
with your family and friends in recovery at the 2009 CoDA International
Convention! You’ll be glad you did!
So mark your calendars for
July 9 – 12, 2009!
Register on-line, download the
registration form or ask your local CoDA community for information.
See you really soon
in Seattle, Washington in 2009!
