Parenting After Deconstruction Pt 3

Parenting After Deconstruction Pt 3

Deconstructing your faith beliefs can be isolating and lonely. Often, this is an individualized process that occurs differently from your partner, family, or friends. Trying to figure out how to parent during this shift can feel nearly impossible. With your newfound theology, how can you talk to your kids about the story of Adam and Eve while navigating the sexist undertones of Genesis 2? How do you take current events and put them into age-appropriate context for your child? How can you reconcile with your own trauma or spiritual abuse while finding positive ways to incorporate spiritual practices with your child?

In this class we will:

-Examine Kathy Escobar's model of deconstruction and locate where you are in your own journey

-Talk about theories around brain development and age-appropriate conversations for kids

-Develop a discussion-based cohort to support you in this transition and direct you to other resources that are available as a reminder you're not alone on this journey

The Winter Cohort launches Tuesday January 13th @ 7pm on Zoom. If you can’t join for the live conversations, no problem! All classes will be recorded outside of small group conversation and sent to you.

Class dates:

  • January 13

  • January 20th

  • January 27

  • Feb 3rd

Cost: $99 or what you can afford based on a sliding pay-scale (contact me for more information).

Coming on Wednesday November 19th from 6:30 - 8:00pm we will be hosting our next Pub Theology night at Humdinger Pizza

The goal of
 Pub Theology is to create a space for engaging conversations of God and living with curiosity while getting to know folks in the Cascade community. We don't have an expectation that we will all agree, but we do create this space so we discuss and seek to grow.

For this month we'll be discussing Christianity & Socialism

Here's an article to read for an overview of this topic.
