Recovering Church Girls *Sophia Remolde and the Beauty of PilgrimageThis week, we are joined by the cheerful Sophia Remolde, as she discusses her work on the “pilgrim’s pilgrimage.” Leading pilgrimages (or, in her words, “hero’s journeys”) around the world to allow people to “understand their own spiritual path and their own connection with the divine” has become Sophia’s goal.
How do we juggle the multifaceted world of the divine and community obligations or teachings? From an early childhood habit of questioning the “unquestionable” to finding herself, Sophia Remolde takes us through her journey, and perhaps teaches us something about deconstructing and reconstructing ourselves in the process.

This week, we are joined by Haylee Hines, founder of Soul Sparkle Living. Learn how to begin to think differently: following one’s “soul sparkle”, rather than what is inevitably taught in our everyday lives. How can we live by externalizing our inner light, and exercising only what comes with ease? Let Haylee Hines’ experiences kindle your soul spark, and begin to live for yourself, and not for others.

Recovering Church Girls *Dan Gross, Part Two: Complicit and Complacent or Active Advocate?If you felt like we left you hanging after the first conversation with Dan Gross, never fear - we refreshed our drinks and pick up exactly where we left off.
Owning our past, intentional or otherwise, is a huge part of our collective healing. In this episode, we continue the conversation, specifically as it relates to the pervasive patriarchal structure within the church and the fallout as a result. From complicit and complacent to engaged, empathetic and dare I say, woke; we get an inside look at this transformation.

When I came to those great flaming gates
of burning gold,
I stood alone in terror at the threshold
between Paradise and Earth.
There I heard a mysterious echo:
my own voice

What if community is what you make of it? What if you intentionally chose to connect, deeply and for the long haul, with people of shared values and diverse perspectives? Could it be that this was the idea of church community all along?
