Release and Reclaim
A workshop for letting go of religious indoctrination and reclaiming your life.
Led by Marlene Winell, Ph.D., psychologist and author of
Leaving the Fold, A Guide for Former Fundamentalists and Others Leaving Their Religion
Authoritarian religious training can seriously impact your ability to live a full life. Recovery involves reclaiming your right to your own thoughts and feelings. But it's not easy and leaving one's faith often creates intense feelings of confusion, grief, anxiety, and anger. Moving on can be difficult if the issues are not clear and you feel alone in the struggle.
This workshop is designed to support you in this process of healing and growth. The weekend is a powerful group experience of sharing personal history, examining key issues, and exploring new liberating concepts. We'll use dance, art, role-play, guided imagery. . .and we'll have fun too as we learn to enjoy THIS life now.
WHEN: FRIDAY, March 30, 7PM until SUNDAY, April 1, 3PM.
WHERE: OAKLAND, CA
