Beyond Wellness

Fred Stella speaks with author Liz Bucar

In the chaos of today’s world, we’re all searching for meaning. The wellness industry has sold us a promise that we can find it if we just buy the right products, attend the right retreats, and follow the right celebrity gurus. But is this true?

In ‘Beyond Wellness: How Restoring the Religious Roots of Spiritual Practices Can Heal Us,’ award-winning religious ethicist and professor Liz Bucar embarks on a quest to answer these very questions and get to the heart of “spiritual but not religious” activities from detox diets to sound baths.

In today’s episode Liz Bucar speaks with host Fred Stella about her own personal journey that combines vigorous academic skepticism with a deep longing for spiritual practice and community.
