Gulp. I’ve wanted to share this particular aspect of my story with you listeners for a while, especially because I receive several messages and texts to the effect of, “Where are you at with the church?”  The truth is, I’ve always seen my journey out of orthodoxy as very private and my personal awakening path as very tender and sacred…so I’ve been reluctant to share details publicly. I’m sharing now because I’ve had insistent feelings that there are people in transition who need to hear what precipitated my decision, from a Sacred Feminine perspective, to take a step back from structured religion. As many of you know, my religion of origin is Latter-day Saint, or “Mormonism.” This is a recording of Magdalene Origins author Lisa Maria interviewing me last year. It feels so vulnerable to share this, but I’m getting braver!  :)   Deep, painful and thoughtful religious deconstruction The power of cocooning & metamorphosing with Mother, in the Great Unknown How Mary Magdalene factored into my journey; a sacred encounter in France (2018)
