RfR - Manchester, UK (Active)

Manchester, 18

NOTE: *This local group is back! Previously it was located in North Yorkshire Moors, it's now been moved to Manchester.* **What Recovering from Religion is about:** Doubt your beliefs? Have questions about changing or leaving your faith? You are not alone, and we are here to help each other through this journey. Learning how to live after questions, doubts, and changing beliefs is a journey. We at Recovering from Religion are intimately familiar with this path and are here to help you to cross that bridge. Our mission is connecting others with support, resources, community, and most of all, hope. 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. 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 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 (844) 368-2848 to speak with someone or go to www.recoveringfromreligion.org to chat online. If you’re seeking 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.

NW Lancashire Metal Detecting Group

Manchester, 18

Hi and welcome to the Lancashire metal detecting group. I'm Michael, and originally from Lancashire, Burscough I decided to start up a metal detecting group, as I've always had an interest in anything old with history to it. I started the hobby a couple of years ago, so I'm fairly new to detecting and it would be great to find like minded people who have the same interest. When started I purchased the Simplex detector and headed to the beach after work. Unfortunately for me I had my steel toe cap boots on and almost dug up most of the beach. :D A lesson learnt , don't make the same mistake! This is a group for anyone interested in metal detecting, outdoor activities, exploring and living life to the fullest. There are no charges for joining the group, and no charge for the attending. Feel free to message me any questions or concerns you may have and if I'm not up a mountain with no signal I will reply as soon as I'm back down :)
