Campfires in the Desert: A Deconstruction Travel Guide

Rate this book
Campfires play a crucial role in the fabric of history, acting as gathering places for various cultures and religions. The circular arrangement of the campfire encourages equal participation within the community. With the fire at its center, our attention shifts to one another, fostering the sharing of experiences and insights about the world beyond. Campfires have sparked countless myths and stories. This book evolves from nearly 400 conversations on our podcast, The Desert Sanctuary.

We use the desert metaphor because it illustrates how individuals often feel when they question their religion and cultural norms. They frequently experience an identity crisis, pondering questions like, “Who am I?” and “What should I do next?”
Imagine each chapter as a campfire gathering, where you can listen to stories and share experiences with fellow travelers.

These campfire sessions aren’t lectures demanding your agreement; each chapter should act as a platform for discussion, allowing us to let go of our certainties in the quest for truths we discover around various campfires.

Section 1 contains Travel Tips for Deconstruction, meant more as food for thought than strict guidelines. Section 2 summarizes Good Questions gathered from the campfires we attended. We hope this travel guide helps you navigate your journey of discovery more effectively, allowing you to embrace who you are and where you are and to find peace!
