Business Debtors Anonymous (BDA)
Solvency Immersion Conference
After Party is a planned time after each weekly workshop when participants are welcome to stay to ask questions; to get to know one another; to share experience, strength, and hope; and to "cool down" from the spiritual "exertion" we've just undergone in the workshop.
After Party is a scheduled, optional adjunct to the weekly workshops and is facilitated by the workshop host or by a requested substitute, usually a steering committee member.
After Party is planned and facilitated service and fellowship.
After Party is a place for additional, especially general, questions about the workshops and workshop topics to be asked and answered, usually beginning with questions or comments about the workshop and topics we've just finished.
After Party is a place to ask specific questions about the practice of the DA and BDA program, about issues in our businesses, about doing business as a spiritual activity, and to receive answers based on experience, strength, and hope from everyone present. ​​With few exceptions, if one of us shares during After Party, we all share in a round-robin format.
After Party is not only an opportunity to receive help, but also an opportunity to give help. Reciprocity is an important element of our conference experience, and we all have something to offer if we share based on our experience, strength, and hope. In fact, we ask everyone to avoid opinions and advice-giving in response to each other whenever possible. On the other hand, we do encourage cross talk. If someone asks us for help, let’s not be afraid to offer help to that same person by name as well as to the rest of the participant group.
After Party is a place to meet new DA and BDA fellows and to exchange contact information. BUT each individual is responsible to ask for what they need. We have made a voluntary participant contact list available, as well as a weekly Fellowship Drop-In and a registrants-only WhatsApp group, and it's up to each participant to use those resources to get our own needs met.
After Party is meant to be fun, informative, and friendly. It's not the place for isolators. We will not let you stay on the fringes during After Party. The host / facilitator may call on registrants by name to engage participation. We call on participants during the workshops, too, whenever no one has raised their hands to share. Everyone will be invited to participate; anyone can simply say "pass" if they're unwilling or unavailable.
