Recovering from Religion, Cults, and High-Control Groups.

Oxford Humanists are thrilled to be hosting speakers from the international organisation, Recovering from Religion, during their UK Tour this October in support of Faith to Faithless. The event will be held at the at the Old Fire Station Café (George St, Oxford).
Founded in the USA in 2009 by Dr Darrel Ray, Recovering from Religion provides online support groups, and resources for those transitioning away from religious belief, and has expanded to include a global network of volunteers.
Religious ideologies can create psychological conflicts that have lifelong consequences. In this talk, Dr Ray will explore why it is so difficult for many people to discard these beliefs and how the organisation, Recovering from Religion helps anyone needing hope, healing and support as they deconstruct the ideology of religions or a high control group.
In the UK, Humanists UK's own Faith to Faithless service, established in 2015, supports anyone who has left a high control religion through weekly peer support, an LGBT group, a women's group, and in-person social events throughout the UK in addition to our helpline.
