The Second Journey

The Second Journey from Fundamentalist Christian Religion to Spiritual Freedom

Your facilitator for this monthly gathering, Terri Carver, was raised in an old timey, southern Baptist faith and was a traditional religious woman and denominational church member for many years until she began to question her role as a woman in her church and in religious society. (Does this already sound like you?)

The underlying message she received time and again was that she was never going to be enough unless she submitted to “Him.” Sitting on the greeter’s pew in the back of the church, she thought she would run out of there screaming if she heard that one more time! (Do you relate?)

She came to understand that she was supporting the very structure that was wounding women (and other people considered less than). In the process she lost two of her most valuable assets: her identity as a woman and her sense of self-worth.  It was time to take a detour!

If this was you too, welcome to recovery! You are not alone.

Please join Terri as she shares a common story of what she calls “shattering” – shattering the anger, hurt, illusions, and rejection - and healing through the process of waking up spiritually and realizing you are enough and God is much BIGGER than you've been taught!

In these dialoguing workshops participants are invited to join in to learn and share about moving on from religious fundamentalism to a new personal spiritual path!

What to expect in discussions in this class:

- What is a wake - up call?
- Identifying the traditional structures that wound people
- Identifying with your childhood “church.” What messages did you receive?
- Negotiating leaving or staying. What do you take or keep? What now?
- The freeing truth is also bittersweet when it comes to what you lose and gain.
- Misinterpretations and mistranslations
- God or Goddess?
- Breathing a woman’s spirit into the sacred. (Put aside what you thought you knew about the Bible! There is more to learn in the Bible and outside of it!)
- What is your journey?  (You are already doing it!)
- Truths for your spiritual journey.
