Announcing our 2022 Religious Recovery Retreat! Join us in-person December 8-11. Pack your bags, we're off to beautiful Nine Mountain Retreat Center in western Massachusetts for a long weekend designed to support recovery from Religious Trauma Syndrome.
We're thrilled to offer this in-person opportunity where folks can disconnect from daily pressures, share personal stories, examine the effects of past indoctrination, and learn strategies for recovery. The program will include short presentations, discussion, and structured activities with activities like art, drama, music, and movement. We will also have time to socialize with like-minded people over delicious meals, hiking, or enjoying the hot-tub! Go HERE for more information.

The retreat is led by Dr. Marlene Winell, psychologist and author of Leaving The Fold: A Guide for Former Fundamentalists and Others Leaving Their Religion. Dr. Winell has been developing methods for religious recovery for 30 years and coined the term Religious Trauma Syndrome. She will be joined by Janice Selbie and Jayme Winell for special sessions, and volunteers will help facilitate the weekend.
