THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 26 

The one-day Conference is designed for pastors and church leaders to help increase awareness around the systemic issues that knowingly or unknowingly perpetuate spiritual abuse and religious trauma within a faith context.

Meet like-minded leaders who want to know what it means to be trauma-informed, learn how to implement safeguarding practices in your churches and organizations, and discover healthy models of ministry.

The Conference is for pastors and church leaders who want to:

• grow in their understanding of trauma and how it affects those in their care
• increase their awareness of systemic issues that knowingly or unknowingly perpetuate abuse and trauma
• gain trauma-informed resources for their churches and organizations
• implement safeguarding practices

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 27

Whether you identify as a victim or survivor, an advocate or ally, this day is designed for you to discover a safe and welcoming space to show up as you are.

We want to create and foster a safe environment and opportunity to discover community with others who know what it's like to carry these stories.

Join us to be seen, heard, and believed. Gain practical tools and resources to identify and name your experiences and move toward healing and wholeness.

The Gathering is for the wounded and advocates who want to:

• find a safe environment and opportunity to discover community among others who have experienced spiritual abuse and religious trauma
