This panel features memoir authors who are all sexual assault survivors.

The discussion centers around gratitude for the #MeToo movement, the everyday and extraordinary women speaking out relentlessly, and how we see societal support to eradicate sexual assault and uplift survivors. 

Torah selected gratitude as the theme in light that March is Women’s History Month and that April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month. 


PANEL/WEBINAR DETAILS:

Panel Members: Lisa Zarcone, Cameron Altaras, and Torah Bontrager

1. What are you most grateful for in terms of the MeToo movement?
 
2. How sustainable do you feel the MeToo movement is?  E.g., Is it going to eventually fizzle out or is it here to stay?

3. In light that it was Women’s History Month in March and that MeToo is led by women, who are you most grateful for post-assault in helping you in your journey?

4. What’s one easy thing that any non-survivor can do to help raise awareness about sexual assault?

5. What impacts do you hope to see the MeToo movement have on the next generation? And what do you hope the next generation will do differently?

Cameron Altaras was raised Mennonite in Ontario, Canada and her mother was an Amish escapee. Childhood sexual abuse by her teenaged uncle set her on a path of further abuse, including at the hands of a highly revered, now deceased Mennonite pastor, Vernon Leis. She went through the Mennonite Conference of Eastern Canada (MCEC) leadership’s clergy misconduct process regarding this “Mennonite Harvey Weinstein” under whose grooming process she fell victim in her twenties. She gathered a supportive group of family, friends, and former MCEC leaders around her and together, they plodded through six years of tough challenges before the MCEC finally publicized the crimes. 

Cameron holds a PhD in Religion from the University of Toronto. Her dissertation focussed on the critical theory of the Frankfurt School with regard to the ideological manipulation of power in religion and art. Before her retirement, she worked in Business Ethics. You can find out more about her at www.TorahBontrager.com/book, where there’s a link to the speech she delivered at the 2015 Annual SNAP Conference in Washington, DC: “Sex with a Pastor Is Never an Affair”.

Rachel Halder is a Sacred Sexuality Specialist/Coach and Founder of Our Stories Untold, a blog dedicated to sharing the stories of Mennonite/Anabaptist sexual assault survivors and raising awareness and healing around the topic of sexualized violence in the Mennonite Church. 

Rachel has since stepped down from that project and is now helping people bridge their spirituality with their sexuality through a proven step-by-step methodology that utilizes modern neuroscience, shadow work, underworld journeying, and ancient Tantric and Taoist techniques to transform trauma, heal sexual wounds, and tap into the natural pleasure and ecstatic capacities within the body. 

She went to Goshen College for her undergraduate degree, holds a Masters of Religion degree from Claremont School of Theology where she studied the topics of sexuality, religion, and trauma healing, completed 600 hours of coaching training with the Tantric Institute of Integrated Sexuality, and is the author of the *free* ebook Sacred, Sexy, and Whole: Undressing Purity Culture, Redressing Redemption.

S3E13 Mary Kathryn Nagle:  Fighting for Native Americans in Court + Onstage, Legal Rape, Manahatta

Kenneth Copp is a rare (former) convert into the Amish church, who now calls himself an Amish atheist.  Kenneth builds handcrafted, solid wood Amish-style heirloom furniture, powered by real workhorses in an effort to produce goods in the most sustainable way possible.  His shop is Locust Grove Woodworks in Maine.

In this episode (Part 1 of his story), we cover what prompted him to join the Old Order Amish church as a teenager and then what the single defining reason was for him to exit the church at age 38.  Via his journey, we cover fascinating pieces of Anabaptist origins and history, including the myriad factions of Amish and Mennonite branches of Anabaptistism and some of their governing structures––and even a look at Amish fashion.  

In Part 2, we go in-depth in the freethinking, or rationalization, that led to Kenneth’s resignation of religious beliefs, and why he still identifies as Amish.  And, Kenneth learned the Amish language and still speaks it, no small feat for an outsider.  

Kenneth, raised Pentecostal, considered joining the Holdeman Mennonites who claim to be the one and only true church.  From there, he joined the Beachy Amish, and then converted into the Old Order Amish.

S3E12 Kenneth Copp:  The Amish Atheist, Amish Fashion + Crafting Furniture Powered by Workhorses

Bridie Farrell is a former US National Speedskating Team Member and the founder of NY Loves Kids.  When she was 15 years old, she was sexually abused by Andy Gabel, a 33-year-old and the #1 speedskater in the US at the time.

In this episode, Bridie and Torah talk about how difficult it is for adult victims or survivors to come forward, even celebrities who have teams of lawyers, assistants, and PR to help them with what to say.  Child victims have no such backing, so it’s upon us adults to speak out on behalf of children everywhere. 

Bridie shares how we can help change the laws and raise awareness about sexual assault statistics by sending simple, easy tweets while binge-watching the Winter Olympics or our favorite TV shows.  If you do nothing else, tweeting a statistic at your state senators every time you watch a show is enough.  You will do more good and create more change than you realize if you’re as committed to tweeting stats as you are to binge-watching.  

For a list of Tweetable statistics, check out http://www.TorahBontrager.com/FREE or follow the podcast on Instagram @OurAmishNation www.Instagram.com/OurAmishNation  

ACTION STEPS: 

Send/schedule a daily Tweet/Gram to @NewYorkGOP or your State senator: 

1.  Did you know that 8 minutes ago, a child in our country was sexually abused? What are you doing about it?
 
2.  Every 8 minutes a child is sexually assaulted, 1 in 6 boys and 1 in 3 girls. What are you doing about it?
