Saving the Baby from the Patriarchal Bathwater: Young Women’s Wisdom on Rebalancing Faith and Spirit
Session Description:
How do we understand the global shift of young people away from organized religion and generate authentic, meaningful engagement with the next generation? Hear from a group of diverse millennial and Gen Z young women about their spiritual beliefs, experiences with religion, and unique insights about the future. Representing a wide range of faiths (Christian, Buddhist, Pagan, and unaffiliated), these young women engage in a conversation about what they see and experience now. Learn how they moved from feeling marginalized in religious communities to forge their own spiritual paths by reclaiming feminine ways of meaning making. There may be no greater human right for women than having a voice in spiritual spaces—and no greater healing within our spiritual communities than to receive the wisdom these women offer. Come glimpse through a feminine lens a radical way to meet the spiritual needs of young women as they step forward to build a new world beyond patriarchy and colonization.
