Scenario

When couples disagree about cultural appropriation in spiritual healing practices

My partner and I are both drawn to traditional African healing practices but we come from different cultural backgrounds and I worry we're appropriating rather than honoring, and we can't agree on how to approach learning respectfully. We keep having the same circular conversations about whether we have any right to this path at all.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people are paralyzed between spiritual calling and cultural respect, unable to find shared ethical ground.
