What is your Religion of Origin?

Your Religion of Origin is simply the religion in which you were raised.
You may or may not still be involved with this religion.

Similar to your family of origin, your religion of origin played a part during your formative years. Most people's core beliefs are formed before age six, so the messages you received often unconsciously impact your life.

Your religion of origin may be a well-known faith (such as Catholicism, Judaism, etc), a lack of religion growing up (atheism, agnostic), new religious movements that may have been labeled as a cult, or simply a set of values that was important to your family, even if it has no name at all.

The Shift.

The "shift" is when you realize your Religion of Origin is no longer working for you the way it did before.

Some people call this a "crisis of faith" or deconstruction.
Maybe a significant event made you start questioning?
Or has something just... changed?

You may have known even as a small child that what you were being taught simply wasn't true for you, or it just didn't sit right.

This shift can be a very painful personal experience.
Confusing and isolating, often there's a period of time where you feel angry at God, your church community, and yourself.

Whether that's happening now, or if it was many years ago,
you're not alone.

"More than 85% of American adults were raised Christian, but nearly a quarter of those who were raised Christian no longer identify with Christianity. Former Christians represent 19.2% of U.S. adults overall." - Pew Research Center

According to this study,
59%
of millennials raised in a church
have dropped out.

There’s no agenda and no requirement for you to believe in anything.

What participants are saying...

"Whether you come from an evangelical or an atheist background (or anything in between) this class can help you make peace with the past and empower you to enjoy your present spiritual journey, or simply being okay with not even knowing what that is. Cheri creates a safe, healthy space to lovingly deal with past religious experiences. In my opinion everyone would benefit from taking this class every couple of years." ~ J. Loux

“I grew up in Missouri Synod Lutheran philosophy. Before attending the Religion of Origin Healing program I still held remnants of lack from my religion of my upbringing that women do not truly have a voice in the structure of the church. After the 2nd session when we did the journal writing and the burning, it was like I finally took my Mom and Christ off that pedestal that I could not obtain. I am at peace now with my religion of origin. It does not have to be the box that I am contained in and controlled by. I don't fit in that box anymore and it is okay. It is very freeing.” ~A. Griesbach

"I began the Religion of Origin Healing program after two years of hard and painful faith shifting, brought on by grief following the death of my child. To be honest, I was dreading unpacking of my religious history because it had been so painful already. Following the first class, my mind quickly slid into a place of ease. Cheri’s compassionate and wise guidance gave me permission to feel and experience whatever came up with no judgment. She gently guided me to a place of openness where I was able to acknowledge the painful aspects, invite healing into those places, and finally feel gratitude for my spiritual history. It was liberating! I highly recommend this for anyone regardless of their religious background. I fully plan to walk through this course at least once a year as part of my spiritual practice." ~T. Loux

"When I took a deep look at the messages I received as a child growing up, I found so many misunderstandings, projections, and pain that didn’t serve me. I knew it was time to make peace with my past experiences, stop blaming others, and really own my updated beliefs as an adult. That profound process lead to the creation of this program. And it works." ~Cheri Jamison
