Religious Trauma

Waking Up: A Support Group for Religious Trauma

Our stories, and how we view them,

are important...

Come find a on-going, community that meets weekly to unpack our trauma and how it continues to influence our lives. This group provides readings, resources, meditations, and discussions to cultivate a space that can foster connection and safety. To that aim, this group requires a four-month commitment, in order to provide enough time for our nervous systems to settle with each other. Group members will vote on the subjects they would like to explore during their four-month commitment and we will explore together how our trauma still lives and what healing can look like.  

​

  • Assistance in unpacking your trauma and your story

  • Create new community

  • Learn to re-author your story

  • Make New Connections

  • Come away with new tools.

​

*Please note this is a closed-group format. For more info on this term, click here.

Frequently asked questions

How Does The Group Work?

The Group meets for 90-minutes every week, for the four months that members commit to. Members have to agree to commit to only miss one meeting during those four months, outside of planned circumstances. Group members prior to the start of the group will vote on subjects they would like to talk about, and each group meeting provides a space to discuss that subject, talk about resources, common themes, stories, etc. Towards the end of each month one or two group members will take some time to write out one story around that subject they would like to share, and members will spend time listening and digesting the story they choose to share in that meeting.
