Unravelling your spiritual or religious path - an online support and information group.

Sunset rear-view mirror 08.24 for FB

It's the time of year when many clients are anticipating family connections over Christmas or holidays, and this can bring up a lot of old anxieties related to the family or 'churchy' expectations.

I've recently done further training on a programme assisting recovery from 'high demand' groups, cults, and religious and spiritual abuse.

Here is a blurb on a online 'trial-run' group I am running over the next 2-3 months. Please feel free to share it with your colleagues or clients (or anyone really!):

*Unravelling Your Spiritual or Religious Path* - an online support and information group.

Do you, or some people you know, seem to continue to be affected by past experiences in religion, fundamentalist groups, high-demand groups, spiritual practices or cults? Whether it was basically 'mainstream', but troubling in some specific aspects; or demanding and manipulative; or outright criminally abusive, if can be very useful to work through it.
Getting some understanding and support with unravelling these past experiences, can help get more perspective and allow reflection and healing to start.
The online group sessions combine education on recognising 'cultic' or *high demand* features; practices in relaxation, grounding and resourcing; connection-building in the group; and 'sharing space'.

This will be a trial run at a discounted rate to invite feedback and input, in preparation for running a longer group in 2025, which may include options of in-person sessions, Initial registration $15. Online group sessions $15. (Funding may be available).
