Manage episode 375003089 series 2797860
What is it about New Age Spirituality™ that gives us the ick? How do so many people get caught up in cult-like communities, or actual cults?
This week, Sarah’s unpacking the red flags within pop-culture spirituality, the New Age realm, and holistic wellness spaces.
She’s joined by Katya Weiss-Andersson, an herbalist, astrologer, yoga practitioner, and plant-based chef who has an insider’s perspective into the pitfalls of contemporary wellness and spirituality. You can hear more from Katya on her podcast “Love and Light Confessionals,” keep up with her on Instagram, and check out her website to book astrology and tarot readings.
Sarah and Katya’s eye-opening conversation covers:
- Communal love bombing and the promise of ego validation
- The dangers of the prosperity gospel in cults and MLMs
- Re-creating power structures based on Whiteness, cis-ness, and wealth
