“Understanding and Navigating Healthy Perspectives and Journeys within Mormonism”
Led by Dan Wotherspoon, Ph.D. AND
Natasha Helfer Parker, LCMFT, CST,
WITH Jana Spangler, IPC
1-3 March 2019, SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH
Many of us find ourselves a bit outside the Mormon norm but still feel committed to continue our journeys as engaged members of the church, or we are committed to a spouse who chooses this. This retreat is focused on building community among and strengthening Mormons like us in the following ways:
- Navigating faith development in adulthood, including the integration of new and enriching perspectives within a less-traditional Mormon paradigm
- Creating and nurturing healthy relationships with family, friends, and loved ones, especially in light of faith and worldview differences
- Finding ways to full and healthy sexuality
- Raising children in ways that encourage them to have confidence and depth as they negotiate various Mormon terrains
- Finding friends/community who have similar outlooks and can offer support
