This program is for you if you want to let go of toxic, authoritarian beliefs
and
reclaim your ability to trust your own feelings and think for yourself.

Leaving your faith can be a very difficult process, but you don't have to go it
alone.

• Share personal stories
• Examine key issues
• Learn coping strategies
• Meet others and build a support system
• Enjoy meals, relaxation, and fun at a home with hot tub, fireplace,
canoes

These retreats are led by Marlene Winell, Ph.D., psychologist and author of
