Conversations Official

On this episode, Leo will be chatting with American None founder Rachel Roberts about her work towards creating spiritually minded community beyond labels.  

“Historically, the term "Nones" refers to the 100+million Americans who no longer identify with organized religion. But today, people decline labels of all kinds (sexual orientation, gender, racial, and political identities, etc.) in preference for their inherent value as an individual within the diverse fabric of humanity.”
