Spinsters, Seers, & Succubi: Conversations on Feminism and Progressive Spirituality

* A show about women's power, progressive spirituality, and men learning feminism.* Dr. Kimberly B. George invites her guests to talk about how feminist practice could nourish every intersection of liberation. The show gives special focus to considering cis men's roles, taking up the inclusive vision of the great ancestor bell hooks, who called for "feminist seers" to imagine a world in which men are equal partners in feminist transformations. The spiritual conversations are intersectional, exploring in nuanced language how progressive spiritualities also have a role in shaping love-based social change.
