Ep. 27: Naomi Van Winkle on Growing Up in King's Chapel & her Journey Toward Healing.

Published: Sept. 1, 2021, 6 a.m.

Naomi Van Winkle was born into a religious group (King’s Chapel) in Connecticut which was essentially a Christian cult. The group had a female leader who was based at their headquarters in England (Mansfield Woodhouse) and dictated much of the community’s ongoings as well as individual lives, with the use of fear & high pressure tactics to interrogate and manipulate.

After many years and as part of her own healing journey of discovery and exploration, Naomi and others are telling their stories through a podcast series that Naomi created, called Cult in Connecticut. In it, Naomi shares about her experience of being born and raised in this cult, and the journey of healing from the pain and confusion she experienced growing up. At eighteen, Naomi left the church and everything she had ever known to begin a new life. We discuss her process of leaving, healing, experiencing life and much more!

Naomi is also a Nashville creative artist and business owner!
