Discover that you’re not alone

Chart your own unique path to healing

People are often left confused and alone after being hurt by toxic theology and organized religion. Resulting in:

  • Broken relationships and lost community

  • Confusion about your identity and beliefs

  • Burdensome tension, anxiety and guilty

No one should have to walk the path of healing alone.

Beyond the Wound brings together a group of trusted guides to help religious trauma survivors find relief.

This event addresses religious trauma in an embodied way, focusing on healing the integrated self: body, mind, heart (soul/spirit/emotion/psyche). 

Our speakers are leaders in their fields and come to you as guides, not gurus, because they know you are the kind of people who don’t want another list of rules to follow but instead want to feel empowered to chart your own path with confidence, freedom and joy. 

In order to chart your own path, you need to know that you’re not crazy or alone, discover why you feel stuck and be equipped with practical tools that will help you move beyond the wound.

“We all have this inner knowing and this extremely resilient untouched unbroken part. I don’t believe any of us are broken, I think we’re injured. We’re not broken in need of fixing, we're hurt in need of healing.”

— Crystle Lampitt, LMSW
