Support Group: Life in the Wilderness

Hosted at The Wellife Common Room

6663 Frank Ave NW, North Canton, OH 44720

6:30-8pm, bi-weekly Tuesdays, September 8 - November 17 (6 sessions)

Experience support and community as you navigate your doubt, disillusion or disengagement with the Church & Christian faith‍. Your questions and life experience are welcomed in this safe space. Linda will facilitate our small group through supportive conversation and processing as we together read Field Notes for the Wilderness: Practices for an Evolving Faith by Sarah Bessey. Click here to learn more about our group book.

$75 per person for six group sessions; participants are asked to acquire their own book in their preferred format (hardcopy, Kindle, audiobook).

Note for library book users: you’ll need our text from September 8 - November 17.

Is this group right for you? Consider signing up if:

• You’re ready to process through your doubts, hurts & baggage around Christian faith & the Church

• You can attend at least 5 of our 6 scheduled sessions (all 6 is best!)

• You commit to spending time between meetings reading our group text (just a few chapters at a time // the book is generally an easy read // we may also have individual reflective exercises to practice between meetings)

• You commit to contribute to our safe group space by always approaching other group members with honesty, civility and kindness

• You are able to navigate a flight of steps to our second-floor meeting room
