There is no bigger question in life than
“What is my purpose?”
Many of us will go to the ends of the Earth to answer this question, and we can become swept away in experiences that can be awe-inspiring for some, and for others absolutely devastating. Religious or spiritual belief and group belonging is where one can find not just purpose, but deeper meaning to make great change in their lives and those of others. Unfortunately, for some of us the spaces where our belief systems have been cultivated have been oppressive, manipulative, exclusive and abusive. These experiences can have devastating effects on many aspects of our lives, including how we see our place in existence, our standing in our communities and the way we see ourselves. Navigating these experiences can be traumatic when the experiences are isolating and terrifying.
