“What I got from it was just amazing. It was like coming home.”
For people leaving religion, the loss of community can be one of the hardest parts of the journey. At Recovering from Religion’s Fall Excursion, past attendees have found connection, renewed joy, and space to begin the next chapter of their lives.
In this video, two former attendees share what the experience meant to them—from rediscovering music and singing to finding a new family and realizing they were not alone.
Join us September 25–27, 2026, in the Smoky Mountains near Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, for a warm, accepting, family-friendly weekend of workshops, relaxation, friendship, and community.
