Reconstruction

After you've deconstructed and set aside the beliefs that you've grown past, what's next? How do you go about rebuilding and reconstructing yourself? Sarah and Corinne explore the idea that leaving religion doesn't mean leaving yourself, though it may feel that way sometimes. They discuss the concept of benevolent patriarchy, which appears kind on its surface but actually serves as another way to negate a woman's agency over herself. Sarah explains more about IFS (Internal Family Systems) Therapy and the questions that are explored therein, specifically with regard to deconstruction and reconstruction.

Corinne discusses her surprise during a visit to an indie bookstore when she opened a book on whales and read, "Show me the difference between a cathedral and physics." She recalls her time at Chapel of the Holy Cross in Sedona and its massive painting above the votive candles: a portrait of a woman, draped in reds, purples, and blues and staring evocatively at the parishioners. Her mind wanders to other examples of "cathedrals" she's encountered in both the natural and human-made worlds.

Listen in as Sarah and Corinne discuss what it looks like to walk away from religion...and into an authentic life of spirituality and the sacred.
