Community Support Sydney

You Are Not Alone: Estrangement Support Group

Our first event will be a relaxed and informal catch-up over coffee. It is simply an opportunity to meet others who understand how complicated and isolating family estrangement can be. There will be no pressure to tell your story or share anything you would prefer to keep private. You are welcome to talk, listen, enjoy a coffee and get to know the group at your own pace. This is a social peer-support gathering, not a therapy or counselling session. We ask everyone to respect each other’s privacy, boundaries and individual decisions. There is no expectation that members should reconcile with family or follow any particular path. Come as you are. The most important thing is knowing that you do not have to navigate this experience alone. There is a $10 deposit required this is just to gurantee attendance it will be refunded upon attendance or if you cancel by 5pm Thursday 30 July 2026. If I need to cancel due to low numbers or change this event it will be done on this platform. If you have any questions please text me on: 0435 002 698. As soon as a venue is sorted I will post it on this site if on the day you cannot find us or have any concerns once again please text me on: 0435 002 698

Weekly Coffee Catch Up

**Everyone is welcome!** Whether you’re part of a local community group that’s struggling with admin friction or you’ve just started "vibe coding" and want to build something that actually matters, come grab a coffee. We are currently collating **Bluehex Blocks**—standalone tools that solve real problems today and will eventually dock into our single 1-stop solution for Australian non-profits, charities and communities. We’re all about open doors and high-energy builds—it’s simply a chance to lean in with your skills (or your community insights) and create real impact for the public good.

Recovering from Religion - Sydney in-person Support Group Meeting (Monthly)

Humanist House 10 Shepherd St, Chippendale NSW 2008 Contact: 0430 463 022 (sms preferred, I am unlikely to respond to voicemails or phone calls) The Sydney Recovering From Religion support group meets monthly. The primary focus of a Recovering From Religion support group is to provide ongoing and personal support to individuals as they let go of their religious beliefs. This transitional period is an ongoing process that can result in a range of emotions, as well as a ripple effect of consequences throughout an individual’s life. As such, the support meetings are safe and anonymous places to express these doubts, fears, and experiences without biased feedback or proselytizing. We are here to help each other through this journey. There is no cost to attend this support group but, if you feel so inclined, donations can be made at [recoveringfromreligion.au/donate/](https://recoveringfromreligion.au/donate/) RfR has an immense collection of well-curated resources available as you go through your journey. The page includes resources for mental and physical crises, working with relationships, for issues stemming from specific religions, coming out stories, and much more. Head to [www.recoveringfromreligion.org/resources](http://www.recoveringfromreligion.org/resources) for these helpful resources. If you find you need to talk with someone before the meeting date, RfR has a hotline and online chat for that express purpose. Call +61 3 4505 2402 to speak with someone or go to [www.recoveringfromreligion.org](http://www.recoveringfromreligion.org/) to chat online. If you are in need of professional help, we can offer the Secular Therapy Project to provide options to connect with a professional therapist. All therapists have been thoroughly vetted by our organization and offer only evidence-based and non-religious treatment. Connect with them at [www.seculartherapy.org.](http://www.seculartherapy.org./) Like what RfR does? Why not volunteer! There are quite a few options. Head over to [www.recoveringfromreligion.org/volunteer](http://www.recoveringfromreligion.org/volunteer) for more info.
