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:Barbara (Janie) Williams\, "Be My Valentine\, Madalyn"
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: Barbara (Janie) Williams\, “Be My Valentine\, Madalyn: a Love Letter to Atheist Women”\nMusical Guest: TBA\nCommunity Moment: TBA \nJanie was raised Sylvania\, Ohio\, a suburb of Toledo. She realized early on that she was born on the wrong side of the tracks. She believed in space aliens in second grade\, thanks to the National Enquirer. She was convinced that the aliens had enough space to land their spacecraft in her backyard. She learned that you can save the lives of TV characters by shouting\, “Hey! Look behind you! Run!” (Her granny did that for years\, saving Julie Olson Williams of “Days of Our Lives” many\, many times.) \nJanie lived in Tampa\, Florida\, for five years\, where she learned to despise a lot of ’80s music. She also had her beautiful and wise daughter while living in Tampa. She eventually moved back to Toledo\, where she founded “Great Lakes Atheists” and had a convention in 2013. She ran away to Kansas City to meet up with a special someone #nevertoolateforhappiness.

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

Minor\, Ph.D. has been speaking\, consulting\, and leading workshops for 20 years. \nHe is Professor Emeritus of Religious Studies at the University of Kansas\, where he taught for 33 years and was the chair of the Religious Studies Department for six.

Previously he wrote Gay and Healthy in a Sick Society: The Minor Details\, published by HumanityWorks! in November 2003\, which was a finalist for the Independent Publisher Book Award\, and was named in national reviews as one of the best gay books of 2003.

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/).
