Why Spirituality Is Hard After Leaving Religion

In this track, I start out with the experience of betrayal that many of us feel during and after leaving religion. After adjusting and integrating more into the world at large, we might develop an interest in spiritual practices or teachings. But, these are often strewn with language and traditions that can feel a lot like high control religion. Additionally, I share some practical tips on how to navigate other ideas and beliefs. I end with an invitation to use our former experiences of control to deepen our sense of freedom and expansion.
