Reclaiming Joy as an Act of Resistance: Spirituality, Justice & Creating a New World


Listen Later

Can you live a joyful, grounded life while the world feels like it’s on fire?
In this episode of The Lumineer’s Journey, we explore the powerful intersection of spirituality, social change, and collective healing — and why reclaiming joy is not selfish, it’s revolutionary.

Diving deep into:

  • Why joy is a sacred tool for marginalized communities

  • How mainstream spirituality often bypasses justice

  • The role of ritual, rest, and community in collective healing

  • Real-world examples of resistance rooted in spiritual practice

  • How to integrate your healing into something bigger than yourself

Whether you’ve felt guilt for feeling good, or pressure to always be “doing the work,” this episode is your permission slip to redefine what liberation feels like.

🌀 Your joy is not a distraction — it’s a disruption.

Here's how you can Turn Self-Inquiry into Social Inquiry

Start by asking not just how you’re healing — but why.
And who your healing might ripple into.”

  • Journal prompts like:

    • “Who benefits from my healing?”

    • “Where do my privileges show up in my peace?”

    • “What am I avoiding in the name of ‘alignment’?”

Let’s build a new world from the inside out.
