Reclaiming Your Life After Toxic Religion

An 8-week coaching group with Kim June Johnson

When: Thursdays from 7:00-9:00 pm CST, Beginning September 18
What: This group is for folks of all genders who have been reckoning with their recovery for some time and want to deep-dive into reclaiming their lives and thriving beyond the shadow of religious trauma
Cost: $320 one-time payment for all 8 sessions

Reclaiming Your Life After Toxic Religion is part support group and part course, offering a supportive space for exploration and growth as participants learn to navigate their healing journey with clarity and intention. This support group is designed for individuals who are ready to deepen their recovery journey and thrive beyond the impact of religious trauma.

Each week, we will focus on key aspects of development that may have been compromised within high-control religions, such as worth, self-trust, meaning-making, and a felt sense of inner safety. Participants will gain a clearer understanding of how religious harm interacts with the entire mind-body system. Through embodiment practices, including reflective writing, members will acquire new tools to dismantle old belief systems and embody healthier ones, all while somatically addressing their emotions, patterns, and experiences. Registration includes a 45-minute one-on-one zoom coaching session with Kim.

Sacred Embodiment

An 8-week coaching group with Terri Allred, MTS

When: Tuesdays from 6:00-7:30 pm CST,  Beginning September 16
What: This group supports adults of all genders who are navigating the disconnection, confusion, or numbness that can follow religious trauma—particularly trauma rooted in high-control, emotionally suppressive, or purity-obsessed environments. These individuals may have been taught that the body is sinful, emotions are untrustworthy, or that spiritual growth means denying physical needs. As a result, they may feel unsafe in their own bodies, struggle with emotional regulation, and lack the tools to understand or express what they feel. Many are seeking a path back to themselves—a way to reclaim their inner wisdom, trust their senses, and feel more grounded and alive.
Cost: $320 one-time payment for all 8 sessions

Sacred Embodiment is a support group for individuals healing from religious trauma who want to rebuild a sense of safety, regulation, and connection to their bodies. Through gentle somatic practices, emotional regulation tools, and a compassionate community, you’ll explore how to listen to your body, trust your inner signals, and reclaim your sacred aliveness—one breath, one sensation, one reclamation at a time.

This group is intentionally slow, soft, and non-performative. There is no pressure to share, “do it right,” or have big emotional breakthroughs. Everything is invitational. The focus is on cultivating a relationship with your body that feels safe, steady, and rooted in self-kindness. We understand that trauma lives in the body—and so does healing. This group will hold space for both.

Topics Explored:

• Understanding the impact of religious trauma on the nervous system

• Recognizing emotional dysregulation (fight, flight, freeze, fawn) and learning supportive practices

• Reclaiming the body as sacred—not something to conquer, suppress, or judge

• Building trust with internal sensations, feelings, and body cues

• Creating safety through gentle breathwork, grounding, movement, and self-compassion

Participants Will Leave the Group With:

• A deeper sense of embodiment and the ability to notice what their body is telling them

• Practical somatic tools to return to regulation when overwhelmed, shut down, or triggered

• A more compassionate relationship with their emotions and physical sensations

• Permission to let go of performance-based spirituality in favor of presence-based healing

• A sense of community where their experiences are understood, not judged

• A reclaimed sense of safety, sovereignty, and sacredness within themselves

Reclaiming LGBTQ+ Identity After Non-Affirming Religious Experiences

A 10-week coaching group with Willow Sipling, MA

When: Mondays from 7:00-8:30 pm CST,  Beginning September 15
What: This group is for LGBTQ+ adults who are navigating the complexities of deconstructing and reconstructing their religious, spiritual, and ethical identities after leaving high-control or fundamentalist religious environments. This group is especially supportive for those newly out ("baby gays") or anyone seeking to deepen their post-high-control queer identity and community connection.
Cost: $400 one-time payment for all 10 sessions

Reclaiming LGBTQ+ Identity After Non-Affirming Religious Experiences will offer a safe space for LGBTQ+ people who are working on deconstructing and reconstructing their faith, spirituality, beliefs, and ethics in light of their queer identity. It is designed for those who may feel listless or uncertain about "where do I go from here?" after leaving high-control or coercive religious environments. Participants will find support in exploring their post-high-control LGBTQ+ identity, building new community norms and ethics, and navigating challenges such as loneliness, grief, and relationship styles outside traditional religious frameworks.

Participants will gain a deeper sense of self as members of the broader queer community, build confidence in approaching other queer people with practical tools and a greater understanding of queer culture, and receive direct psychoeducation—beyond what you can find on Google—about queer sexuality, gender identity, and relationships. Here, you’ll have the freedom to make mistakes and deconstruct toxic fundamentalist or high-control mentalities alongside self-selected peers and a supportive coach, all within a non-judgmental, affirming environment.

Facilitated by a queer person with lived experience in multiple faith traditions and LGBTQ+ advocacy, this group fosters a supportive environment for reclaiming agency, interior freedom, and a sense of beloved community.
