New Rhythms
by A. C. Seiple
Through personal stories and struggles, each episode creates space to slow down and be curious about what shapes the stuck spaces of our spiritual formation. If you've ever felt spiritually stuck or simply want to journey deeper in your spirituality, join me to explore how understanding the many facets of our embodied beings helps us cultivate new rhythms in our lives. Anchored in the messiness of real life, each episode explores cross-sections of some of my favorite things, including, interpersonal neurobiology, nervous system regulation, contemplative practices, and parts work. I’m a trauma-informed therapist who holds a second master’s degree in biblical studies and has served in a spiritual formation fellowship -- and before any of these things, I'm simply a human navigating the messiness of life and faith. These perspectives have come together in my life in meaningful ways, crafting new rhythms, which I’d love to share with you here. To connect on social media, follow @a.c.seiple

How Disembodiment Shapes Faith Spaces
Season 3 Episode 1: It’s estimated that 1 in 3 Americans have experienced religious trauma. In this season, we’re slowing down to consider how certain assumptions can support systems where this religious trauma is happening. We’ll specifically get curious about the ways we’ve become desensitized to disembodiment in faith spaces and the far reaching implications of being disconnected from our bodies.
