Wherever You Are in the World, You Belong Here

Three days. Eighteen sessions. Honest, grounded conversation about religious trauma, spiritual abuse, high-control groups, and what it looks like to rebuild life on your own terms.

The RTC Online Event is back for 2026 - bigger, broader, and this time reaching well beyond Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand.

Whether you've left, you're still inside, you're somewhere in between, or you're walking alongside someone who is; this event was made with you in mind.

What's On?

Across three days you'll hear from survivors, storytellers, researchers, practitioners, advocates, and cult experts covering:

Religious trauma & spiritual abuse — Purity culture — High-control groups & cults — Gender & the church — Neurodivergence — Fundamentalism — Law reform & advocacy — Parenting — Estrangement — Conspiracy — Identity & recovery — and more.

Extended Access

An All Access Pass is available for unlimited access until 31 December 2026, a CPD/OPD completion certificate, and 20% off RTC resources.
