Join a small, intimate circle of women on a transformative journey of understanding and healing from spiritual trauma/religious abuse. Together, we’ll explore how religious experiences have shaped us and learn to rebuild trust-within ourselves, with the sacred, and in our communities.

This space is for you if you;

✨Have experienced wounds in your spiritual journey

✨Feel unsafe or uncertain about experiences in faith communities

✨Are questioning, deconstructing, or challenging your beliefs

✨Have encountered religious misogyny or oppressive patriarchy

✨Have been labeled as rebellious, problematic, or unfaithful

✨Carry anger, confusion, or grief about your spiritual experience

✨Experience anxiety, or panic when thinking about spiritual topics

✨Have been shunned or rejected for asking difficult questions

✨Feel like you’ve lost your identity after leaving a faith community

✨Struggle with trusting your own intuition

✨Wonder if it’s possible to have a healthy relationship with spirituality

✨Feel angry at God, religious leaders, or spiritual communities but don’t know what to do with that anger

What to expect

This online therapeutic support group creates a sanctuary where your experiences are validated and your voice is honoured. We’ll work through what therapist Hillary McBride calls “ Holy Hurt ”, the unique pain that comes from spiritual wounding.

You’ll discover practical, embodied healing strategies while being truly seen and witnessed by others who understand your journey. This isn’t about fixing your faith or returning to old beliefs, it’s about healing the wounds you carry and finding your own authentic path forward.

As we journey together in safety and trust you will have the opportunity to;

💫 Connect to your truest self
💫 Restore your body-soul-spirit
💫 Encounter love and acceptance
💫 Grow spiritually & emotionally
💫 Engage in therapeutic activities
💫 Heal in safe community

Group Details

This is a carefully curated, supportive community of women who recognize their need for healing and are ready to embrace inner transformation. Given the profound courage and vulnerability required to address spiritual trauma, we maintain a closed, confidential group structure. New members can only join during the first two weeks to preserve the safety and trust essential for deep healing work.

To honour the needs of sensitive, empathic, introverted, and neurodiverse participants, we limit attendance to a maximum of 6 women. This intimate size ensures everyone receives the attention and care they deserve. Women of all ages, life stages, faith and cultural backgrounds are warmly welcomed.

An Investment in Your Healing

Spending on yourself can bring up emotions of guilt or doubt, especially when it comes to healing pain that’s caused immense shame and loss of self.

Your investment of $480 includes 8 weeks of guided therapeutic support.

• 15 hours of dedicated group support, slow enough to actually settle in and consistent enough with a weekly schedule so that your growth and healing is accumulative.

• A small group setting of other women on a similar journey.

• Continuity. the same faces each week, which trauma healing often needs

• Shared witnessing in a small group, something individual therapy alone doesn’t offer

Group work doesn’t replace one-on-one therapy. It adds something different: being reflected back by other women walking a similar path, and a chance to practice trust somewhere built for it.

Financial constraints should never prevent healing. Payment plans and sliding scale options are available for anyone facing economic hardship. Select the Expression of Interest ticket, or reach out confidentially to talk through what could work for you.
