Shedding Shame
Releasing Rejection

We All Go Through It

You came out, you're living your values, and somehow things still don’t feel right. It might be anxiety, shame, discomfort with being gay, queer, or trans. It might be subtle or severe or somewhere in between. Coming out and facing all the changes that follow is hard, and everyone could use some help and community.

The Promise

In this 8-week group for LGBTQ people healing the residue of religious condemnation, you'll understand why shame and self-doubt outlasted the choice you already made. You'll move toward a steadier peace, whether you are keeping your faith or leaving it. You’ll meet others with similar joys and struggles. There is no need to do this alone.
