Restorative Writing: An 8-Week Expressive Writing & Support Group for Religious Trauma and Faith Transitions
This group is for you if you're seeking a safe and nurturing space to express your experiences of religious trauma and faith deconstruction through the healing power of expressive writing. But most importantly, this group is for everyone—especially those who don’t consider themselves a writer.
Writing experience isn’t needed—only a willingness to show up and explore your lived experiences through writing and discussion with other group members who have shared experiences. Sharing your writing is optional and will often be done in pairs. The writing portion of this class is first and foremost for your own processing and excavation.
This group might be for you if:
You want to explore your feelings, doubts, and questions surrounding your religious past in a supportive community of individuals who have gone through similar experiences.
You're looking for a way to process and heal from the trauma associated with your religious upbringing and subsequent faith journey, this group can provide you with valuable therapeutic tools.
You want to connect with others who understand the unique challenges of religious trauma and faith deconstruction or transition, this group is the right place for you.
You’re curious to discover the power of expressive writing in your journey of self-discovery and healing in the context of religious trauma and faith changes.
You're seeking a supportive community that encourages you to process your religious trauma and faith transitions through the therapeutic and cathartic process of writing.
You're looking for a space where you can transform your experiences into a source of growth and resilience while transitioning away from your religious past, this group can provide you with the tools and support you need.
You want to connect with like-minded individuals on a journey of rediscovering their identities after experiencing religious trauma, this group offers a nurturing environment for self-expression through writing.
