We wanted to share again about this upcoming event! Through midnight tonight (3/18), you can use the code STPATTYS to receive 17% off your tickets! 🎟️ 🍀

This will be a guided speed-friending night to help adults build community outside of church spaces. 🤍 Led by two therapists who work with the religiously traumatized, and have identified this as a huge need & want to help!

For many of us, church was where friendships happened automatically. When that disappears, it can feel incredibly isolating.

☕ cozy vibes
💬 guided conversations
🤝 meeting new humans who get it
📝 friendship applications accepted

There is also a ticket option for those who can’t attend the in-person event, but still want to fill out the friendship application to get matched!

✨ Rebuilding the Village ✨
A gentle, trauma-informed “speed friending” experience designed to help people connect without pressure, fixing, or theology debates.

Making friends outside of church can feel unexpectedly lonely. For many of us, church was our social world— built-in gatherings, potlucks, small groups. When that changes, community doesn’t automatically replace itself.

Expect structured conversations, trauma-aware facilitation, and a cozy atmosphere.

📝 Friendship applications encouraged
🎟️ $25 Early bird // space is limited

🗓️ April 10th // 7:00-9:00pm

Another fantastic support group this morning in Edmond! This time, we talked about purity culture.

We meet monthly, in various locations, covering different topics each time. If community support is something you are seeking, we would love for you to join us in March!

When asked what they were leaving with today, some words that group members shared were— feeling seen, feeling heard, community, hope, authenticity, comfort, & understanding. 🤍
