Grow & Gather

Grow & Gather is a grassroots, community-driven movement that values and respects all humans. It provides a space for members to openly question and doubt their religions and their roles in oppressive systems, while still enabling them to explore their spirituality without fear of judgment.

We are not a religion, and have no leaders or designated meeting places. Our community exists virtually, welcoming members from anywhere to connect through shared experiences. While we primarily gather online for safety and global accessibility, local meetups can be organized independently.

Our members may find connection and conversation in the open comment sections below. Let us be very clear: we maintain a space of mutual respect through active moderation. Any harmful behavior will result in immediate removal. Members are welcome to connect through email, WhatsApp, Google Meet, or other third-party platforms. Please be mindful of your personal safety when deciding what contact information to share.

Please thoroughly read our rules and principles below before commenting. Members who choose to meet in person do so at their own discretion and assume full responsibility for their safety. Storybrooke and Grow & Gather bears no liability for such independent gatherings. We are not a building or a doctrine. We are simply an idea. May it guide you towards finding your people, help you heal from religious trauma, and rediscover the feeling of belonging without the walls of a church.
