This Writing Symposium – the first of its kind – brings together leading voices, all advocating for survivors of cultic abuse to advance their healing process through the written word.
In this half-day forum, you will learn that writing may not be an easy path - but for survivors - it’s perhaps the single most accessible and effective tool for integration and healing.
Since the spring of 2020, Gerette has supported survivors to engage in their recovery journey through Writing to ReckonTM programs. She created the Reclaiming Autonomy symposium - bringing respected leaders offering their best advice - out of her passion for freeing voices that were silenced by cultic manipulation.
Through Writing to ReckonTM programs, Gerette has witnessed the discovery of honest narrative allowing an inner sense of freedom to emerge. The goal of this symposium is to encourage as many survivors as possible to engage with this simple and life-enhancing practice. Writing is a powerful tool for unburdening the self.
Writing walks us through past trauma in such a way that we get to see the past more clearly and “own” our actions. When we write for our well being, we get to face our experiences head on, bringing honesty to the page. This opens up a sense of inner freedom that can be a core part of our recovery process.
