[close] A club for the spiritually ambitious, somatically curious, and slightly done with the fluff — especially the kind that gaslights your nervous system. ⸻ 📖 About This Group: Welcome to the anti-fluff sanctuary for readers who crave depth, embodiment, and truth that actually lands in the body. We’re here to explore books that challenge, clarify, and change us — the kind that make you pause mid-page and whisper, “Holy sht.”* Expect reads on: • Pain science that respects complexity, not just symptoms • Yoga and yoga therapy as tools for nervous system regulation and spiritual alignment • Movement-based therapeutic practices that illuminate the body’s role in transformation • Sacred texts, memoirs, and soul-stretching works from psychology to mysticism We are: • Intellects who trust the body • Mystics who ask questions • Readers who highlight like monks and reflect like rebels ⸻ 🔍 What to Expect: • Monthly books that activate your body, your brain, and your belief system • Optional reflection prompts, somatic insights, and yes — occasional spirals of existential awe • A community where spiritual discipline meets literary disruption • No bypassing. No 10-step gloss. Just breath, presence, and bold pages ⸻ You don’t need to be healed. You don’t need to be flexible. You just need to be done with the fluff — and open to growth that doesn’t insult your intelligence.

[close] This global discussion group has been designed to encourage debates about important and underreported issues of our era.

[close] Find us on www.reddit.com/r/RadicalChristianity /r/radicalChristianity has emerged as a community of people discussing the intersection of philosophy, theology, critical theory, and revolutionary politics. We are interested in re-investing Christianity with its transgressive elements, and as such we are openly against oppressive discourses (sexism, racism, ageism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia). Many of us find our beliefs marked by a certain desire for disassociation with and transgression against conventional Christian institutions and culture. We support divergent forms of thinking. Together we are a group consisting of materialists, idealists, realists, anti-realists, pragmatists, mystics, theists, atheists, occultists, heretics, socialists, anarchists, communists, Marxists, pacifists, insurrectionists, and many other identities burdened with either an inordinate number of prefixes or else with none at all. Not all of us are politically "progressive". Some of us are of a slightly more orthodox and conservative bent, too -- interested in what it truly means to enact the transformative power of the cross in our daily lives. With such a broad definition of "radicality" and "Christianity", we find that group discussion is of paramount importance. Viewpoints that may initially seem odd or shocking are often filled with critical insights and viable possibilities of being that a cursory dismissal would otherwise overlook.
