ABOUT THIS EPISODE
What happens when we take the parts of religion we like and leave the rest behind?
This week, I'm joined by Dr. Liz Bucar, professor of religion at Northeastern University and author of Beyond Wellness, to explore the rise of self-directed spirituality, why religion isn't disappearing but changing shape, and how the mindfulness industry has reduced transformative spiritual practices to tools for personal wellbeing.
We discuss what happens when spirituality becomes detached from the traditions, communities, and ethical frameworks that once gave it meaning, and what we gain and lose in the process.
