We are Human Becomings on a unique process of transformational healing.

Healthy psychology and integrative healing cultivate a healthy spirituality... and vice versa!

Join Ryan Lambros and Shaleen Kendrick on an exploration of healing.

Every single “thing” in the world is interconnected…we live in a relational world. Everything is connected from our own cells, bodies, persons, family, culture, society, and world…EVERYTHING is connected. Thus, everything is relational. Individualism sells a cheap healing, whereas the pillars of health, belonging, safety, and value are found along the process of integrative healing.

Looking to heal? Come on the journey...into desert spaces.

Are you moving from deconstruction to reassembling your faith?  Don't have time to find and engage liberating resources - WE GOT YOU!

If you're asking the question "what now?" this is the season to follow. This season, we critically think, summarize, and engage diverse & liberating resources responding to the question "How now shall we live...after leaving evangelicalism." 

If being "Born Again" doesn't mean following an authoritarian, patriarchal system of toxic power...what does it mean?!

This episode describes HOW your brain physically changes when you think about a benevolent God! It also addresses the maladaptations that happen to your brain structure when you believe in an authoritarian God (aka evangelicalism.)

Curious about what it means to transform - truly and metaphysically transform? This is the episode you want to join.

PART 3...

This is the final episode in a 3-part series offering practical tools for everyday white-identifying people to transition towards racial justice. Join the conversation with Cassidy Hall, a brilliant author, filmmaker, activist, podcaster, pastor, and friend.

Cassidy and I (Shaleen) conclude this conversation by exploring our experience as white-identifying people who desire to step away from pseudo-white supremacy and closer to beloved community.

Join us in reimagining spirituality in our country as a means to confronting and dismantling racism, dominance, and toxic power. 

We are focused on the opportunity to finally, fully, and unequivocally transition from considering oneself “not racist” to understanding what it may mean to become “anti-racist.” 

We offer examples from our lives, utilize resources, consider how we have been part of the problem...AND explore opportunities to be part of the solution.

COME WITH US ON A JOURNEY TOWARDS LIBERATION AND JOY!
