ABOUT COURAGE

It takes courage to face our debt. It takes even more to walk a different way. Spring Lights 2026 is a daylong gathering of the Northern California Debtors Anonymous fellowship — a place to find the hope, the tools, and the connection that make recovery from compulsive debting possible. Whether you have been working the program for years or you are walking into a DA room for the first time, you will be among friends. 

WHAT TO EXPECT

A full day of recovery, service, and fellowship — for newcomers and longer-time members alike:

— Twelve inspiring speakers on the Twelve Steps

— A moderated discussion on finding courage to change the things we can

— Open sharing

— Pressure Relief Groups, in-person and online

— Sponsorship Match-Up, in-person and online

— A literature table

— Vision-boarding

— Afternoon snacks, beverages, and a potluck dinner shared with the fellowship

— A gift basket and gift card raffle (in-person only)

— A reading from A Year of Serenity and Prosperity to open the evening

— An evening talent show

— Fellowship, fun, and new friends
