Is religious appropriation an act of reverence? Or cultural theft?
Yoga at the gym, meditation via an app on your phone, sage-smudging a corporate office. Religious rituals and traditions are being taken out of their original context and used in everyday life by people outside the culture and faith they're taken from. Could this be considered a kind of theft? Or is this part of a healthy modern cultural exchange?
To explore the ethical and spiritual implications of wellness-ifying religious practices are two guests researching the impact of these cases.
GUESTS:
This episode of God Forbid was made on Gadigal land, the land of the Ngunnawal people, and the traditional land of the Massachusett people
Technical production by Craig Tilmouth and John Jacobs
