How do you stay true to yourself when love and relationships change? Whether it’s romantic love, spiritual love, or friendship love, Eréndira Jiménez Esquinca is gently figuring it out.
Eréndira talks about redefining her relationship with Christianity, listening to the body, paying attention to grief, and following love — wherever it leads. We chat about her work with Spirit School of building a container where the work of decolonizing Christianity can happen.
CONTENT WARNING: grief, loss, trauma, divorce, Christian hegemony
