68. Finding Affinity Spaces with Laura Beth Buchleiter

Desert Voices: Critical Thinking to Cultivate Well-Being

What are "Affinity spaces and how do we find them?"
Come along with Laura Beth Buchleiter and Shaleen Kendrick exploring Affinity Spaces!
Jesus didn't fit in very many places, while on earth, yet belonged everywhere. Why? Because he fully completely and wholly belonged to himself first. What might that be like and how do we get there?

"I think part of truly embracing and leaning into mysticism is holding space for people regardless of where they are on their journey." - Laura Beth

"We do not heal in isolation. When we reach out and connect with one another – when we tell the story, name the hurt, grant forgiveness, and renew or release the relationship – our suffering begins to transform." - Desmund Tutu
