She writes for herbal companies like the Practical Herbalist, the Sacred Science, Goddess Detox, Learning Herbs, and Crystal Star.

Crystal talks to Jo Luehmann about her upcoming Pop-Ed series, Decolonizing Christianity.

Hannah Bonner achieved her masters of divinity from Duke University Divinity School. Dedicated to amplifying the voices of young women, she produced a documentary, “Awaken the Voice,” to ensure that the young women she worked with in pursuing justice for Sandra Bland would be remembered. An avid hiker, Hannah can be found most evenings admiring a saguaro cactus along one of Tucson’s many trails. And now Hannah. Support her work on the border by giving to some of the organizations referenced in this episode: Desert Southwest Conference, Las Americas, and Coalición de Derechos Humanos.

Sarah Bowen is a member of One Spirit Interfaith Seminary's academic staff, Spiritual Directors International, and several recovery communities.

Sarah seeks to help others connect with the higher power of their own understanding, in whatever way is meaningful to each. I just find her words to be way less angry and more sensical than mine so I really hope you embrace this discussion and walk away with some lessons as I did.
