Finding the Sacred After Religion with Lisa Gungor

The Yes Collective Podcast with Justin Wilford, PhD

EPISODE #81 - Lisa Gungor is an artist, author, yoga instructor, and a facilitator in Yes Collective’s new Root Work Immersive Circles. When she was introduced to the Yes Collective team, she was just "Lisa" the yoga and ecstatic dance teacher. But the team later found out that she's a Grammy-nominated Christian indie rock musician who traveled the world, started churches, and then left Christianity and her entire career and identity behind.

So not only does Lisa have a super fascinating story, she's an all around amazing human being. So, we had to have her on to talk about her journey, what led her to make such a monumental move away from Christianity and "the church," and how she came to facilitate retreats focused on a this-world sacredness.

If you care about making massive life transitions, finding new identities and meaning grounded in honesty and compassion, and stepping into the everyday sacred, you're gonna love this interview with Lisa Gungor.
