About us
Do you struggle with a fundamentalist or evangelical past or present? Do you have family or friends whose conservative Christian faith impacts you? Are you a church burnout, spiritual refugee, ex-evangelical, or spiritual but not religious? Then this support group is for you. We help each other expose harmful faith beliefs and recover a healthy faith or a new philosophy of life. We share stories of deconstructing evangelical Christianity through applying logic and historical facts. We share ways to overcome spiritual abuse and rebuild faith or a non-religious worldview that allows you to think for yourself and be set free. We have both virtual and in-person meetings and prefer brewpubs for live meet ups.

God, Sex, and Healing After Deconstruction
Good Shepherd Episcopal Church, 345 South 312th Street, Federal Way, WA, USWe're excited to bring this free event to Seattle! It will help faith shifters break free from harmful beliefs and find freedom and healing within an affirming spirituality. You will be encouraged to address toxic beliefs from evangelicalism or some other high-control religion and learn:
### 8 Reasons and Responses to Faith Deconstruction - Tom Oord
Theologian and philosopher, Tom Oord will speak on why people deconstruct their faith and how “open and relational theology” helps rebuild a more rational, healthier spirituality that aligns with our intuitions about love and freedom.
### The Joy of Sex After Deconstruction - Susan Cottrell
Susan Cottrell from FreedHearts, based here in Seattle, shares how to deconstruct the sexual shame put on us by religionists and find joy again (or for the first time). Step into a fully affirming safe space for both the LGBTQ+ and straight community.
### How to Heal from Toxic Religion and Flourish Spiritually - Michael Camp
Non-Religious Spiritual Coach, Michael Camp, also from Seattle, shares how faith deconstruction is liberating but leaves scars of spiritual abuse and church hurt. Learn how to heal from toxic faith and thrive using lifegiving tools and love-based practices.
There is time between sessions and after wrap-up to connect with other attendees, meet the speakers, and browse/buy books. Don't miss this one if you're in the Seattle area.
