Themes: Healing, Spirituality, Spiritual Bypassing, Shame, Self Empowerment, Shadow Work, Self Growth, Guilt
In this solo podcast episode, Empowered Connection podcast host Daniel Cordua rounds out the last month's themes of spirituality, self empowerment, spiritual bypassing, and religious trauma with a talk on the tension between being inherently already whole and taking on a practices to make one whole.
There is a sigh of self compassionate relief in the profound spiritual understanding that we don't need to" fix "ourselves, but are already whole.
And it begs the classic question: if we are already love and loved, why must we take on paths, ideas, communities, or practices that prove or find that we are?
This irony is both beautiful and dangerous.
It shows that we are not better or worse than anyone, for we are all equal on a fundamental level of the Self (the beautiful)... yet that same understanding is leveraged by others to have power over others - or us to have shame towards ourselves - by stating you must "earn" that wholeness and equality by being part of a group, guru, or specific path (the dangerous or ugly) and proving your worth.
In this episode Daniel explores the beautiful sides of this paradox and the shadow sides, allowing the listener to have more empowered awareness of their own self and their self growth and/or spiritual practices and longings.

Kayla Felten, MSW, LICSW has been an advocate for religious trauma and spiritual abuse survivors throughout her career, as the co-founder of the Reclamation Collective and as a Psychedelic Therapist in her clinical work. Kayla has been able to support those in the process of reclaiming their inner peace, relational harmony, autonomy, pleasure, and authentic self. She was initially invited to facilitate support groups for survivors of spiritual abuse due to abuses of power taking place in plant medicine and yogi contexts within Minnesota. This experience helped expand her understanding of spiritual abuse both within and outside of religious contexts, and has allowed her to become a voice of advocacy within the psychedelic and therapeutic communities she shows up in.
Through years experience facilitating support groups, integration circles, retreats, and teaching workshops for folks navigating themes of religious trauma, spiritual abuse, deconstruction, and reclamation through the Reclamation Collective, Kayla aspires to curate expanded offerings for survivors on their healing trajectories that prioritize personal autonomy and pursue radical authenticity.

- What exactly is religious trauma? How do we experience it?
- Kayla’s own experience experiencing and then navigating her religious trauma
- Gaining distance, perspective, clarity and a life-giving deconstruction of our religious experiences
- Religious trauma for women, trans-communities, queer folk, and all gender identifications
- What is spiritual abuse? How do we experience - and/or perpetrate it consciously and unconsciously

Marissa has taught over 3,000 hours of yoga, led 11 yoga teacher trainings, traveled and led 3 international retreats, and taught yoga for the Eagles football in 2022. She currently lives in New Mexico and is the founder of The Well Studio, where students tap into their own wellbeing, self-discovery, and body/mind wisdom on their yoga mats in both Philadelphia & New Mexico.
Classes with Marissa are tantric in essence, weaving all layers of being into an experience of self-knowing that will rejuvenate you, awaken you, empower you, & remind you of who you truly are.
