Spirituality should bring us closer to ourselves, to each other, and to the land. But too often, we see people leaving oppressive religious structures only to recreate the same hierarchies, dogma, and isolation in their spiritual journeys.
In this episode, we ask: Are we truly decolonizing our spirituality, or are we just replicating the same patterns with different language?
We explore:
✨ How indigenous wisdom offers pathways to healing beyond Western individualism
✨ The ways colonial trauma shapes modern spiritual practices
✨ Why relational accountability must be central to any spiritual path
✨ How to practice spirituality in a way that fosters community, connection, and liberation
Healing, unlearning, and reclaiming indigenous knowledge should not make us lonelier. It should deepen our relationships and bring us home to interdependence.
