SUMMARY:Dr. Darrel Ray\, "Religious Trauma\, Its Roots and Its Treatments"
DESCRIPTION:Doors open at 10:30 am for coffee and conversation.\nSunday Gathering begins at 11 a.m.\nChildcare is provided. Everyone is welcome!\nProgram ends at 12:30 p.m. \nFeatured Speaker: Dr. Darrel Ray\, “Religious Trauma\, Its Roots and Its Treatments”\nMusical Guest: JJ Cantrell\nCommunity Moment: TBA \nReligious abuse is the root of religious trauma and often goes unrecognized by therapists and clients alike. Children raised in toxic environments do not know it is toxic; it just seems normal to them. When they experience symptoms later in life\, failure to identify the root cause leads to inappropriate treatments. Appropriate identification and treatment can often lead to rapid improvement and positive outcomes. Misidentification can lead to years of frustration and inappropriate treatment. \nBio:\nDarrel Ray\, Ed.D.\, Is a psychologist and author of several books\, including The God Virus: How Religion Infects Our Lives and Culture (IPC Press\, 2009) and Sex and God: How Religion Distorts Sexuality (IPC Press 2012). He is founder and president of the international organization Recovering from Religion and The Secular Therapy Project. He has spoken on hundreds of podcasts\, conferences and TV and radio programs. He will be a keynote speaker at the upcoming Conference on Religious Trauma\, April 2020\, in Vancouver\, BC. The Secular Therapy Project is a major sponsor of the conference. \n*By participating in this event\, you agree to abide by the Oasis Code of Conduct (https://www.kcoasis.org/about-oasis/code-of-conduct/).

SUMMARY:Featured Speaker: R Minor: Seeking Government Support for Your Religion Act of Unbelief?

SUMMARY:KC Oasis Volunteers at Micah Ministry
DESCRIPTION:At Kansas City Oasis our values are “People are more important than beliefs\,” “human hands solve human problems\,” and “meaning comes from making a difference.” In that spirit\, we partner with Micah Ministry to help feed and clothe those in need. \nThe Micah Ministry is a charitable organization that seeks to help anyone\, regardless of race\, gender\, religious (or nonreligious) affiliation\, sex\, sexual orientation\, or any other trait – as long as they could use some help\, the Micah Ministry is there to help them. \nThe Micah Ministry operates in a way that’s a bit different from traditional support organizations. They feed those who seek their services with a restaurant-style waiting operation: Volunteers take drink and food orders and deliver the food to them\, providing seconds if needed and continuing to refill their drinks as needed. \nIn addition to food\, if there are enough volunteers\, they operate a clothing and household items (toiletries\, candles\, blankets\, and other items) store. Volunteers ask each person for their order\, go back into the store room\, and retrieve the requested items as long as they are in stock. \nThe Micah Ministry is a religious organization\, which means that the event is started by an optional group prayer at the beginning. \nWe have never been pressured to pray with them and they have always been glad to have us participate in their group. \nPictures are permitted to be taken prior to the admission of those in need\, but\, once people are being admitted into the dining area\, no pictures are allowed. \nBy participating in this event\, you agree to abide by the Oasis Code of Conduct (https://www.kcoasis.org/about-oasis/code-of-conduct/).

SUMMARY:Featured Speaker for Virtual Sunday Gathering: Natasha Ria El-Scari
DESCRIPTION:Featured speaker: Natasha Ria El-Scari\nCommunity moment: Audra Alexander\nMusical guest: Mark Lowrey (https://jukeboxxmedia.com/portfolio/mark-lowrey/) \nZoom link: https://success.zoom.us/j/3448335044 \nAbout the speaker: \nNatasha Ria El-Scari has been a writer\, Cave Canem fellow\, and educator for over a decade. Her poetry\, academic papers\, and personal essays have been published in anthologies and literary and online journals. She has opened for and introduced many great writers\, singers and activists\, and has been featured at a host of universities and venues nationwide. Born and raised in Kansas City\, Missouri\, Natasha has a BA from Jackson State University and an MA from the University of Missouri-Kansas City. Natasha’s Black Feminist approach is reflected in her writing\, poetry and performance pieces. Natasha brings the fire! She is a divorced mother of two awesome children. Once asked in an interview what makes her unique she replied\, “…most people lie to themselves\, but I like to reveal myself.” \nIn 2015 Natasha released her first book\, Screaming Times (Spartan Press\, 2015). Of her work\, critic and poet Denise Low writes\, “Poems lift off the page\, almost reading themselves. Unlike some performance poetry\, her words translate well to the printed page.” Her second book\, The Only Other (Main Street Rag\, 2016) dives into the taboo voice of the other woman. In 2019 Natasha released her first self-published and nonfiction book in collaboration with her son\, titled\, Mama Sutra: Love and Lovemaking Advice to My Son. In 2020\, Natasha self-released I Say\, T(He)y Say\, a chapbook about a special decade in her maternal grandmother’s life. In the same month she released Growing Up Sina\, her first novel created after challenging herself creatively to grow outside of her first love\, poetry. \nNatasha’s CDs\, DragonButterFirefly (2006)\, This is Love… (2010)\, CuddleComplex (2016) and DVD Live at the Blue Room (2015) display how Natasha connects with any crowd with maternal warmth and unrelenting honesty. This mother of two is also the founder and curator of Black Space Black Art\, an organization created to promote the exhibition of African American visual arts and businesses. She is also the founder and curator of the El-Scari Harvey Art Gallery\, a small art gallery that focuses on exhibiting marginalized artists and creating relevant events.
