I Miss the Village, Not the Cage | Finding Community Ouside the Church
Description
In the continuation of the previous episode, Vikki and Taniya dive into the very real grief and neuro-chemical withdrawal of losing a built-in church village. They break down the concept of "collective effervescence," ditching the quiet shame of missing church routines, and practical, low-pressure ways to build authentic community outside the walls of high-control religion. From community theater and tabletop campaigns to effortless neighborhood meetups, there are so many ways to find where you belong.
Content Warning: This episode contains explicit language and candid discussions of religious trauma, cult deconstruction, isolation, and brief mentions of sexual abuse and childhood corporal punishment.
