Heretical Hippies

In 2026, we will be sharing our journey as we read through No Nonsense Sprituality, by Brittney L. Hartley, aka "Britt". This book is designed to be maximally helpful for wherever you are in your spiritual journey. "This book helps to break down the main components of tools that have operated under the umbrella of spirituality while denying the claim that religion holds a monopoly on these tools." Nick Jenkel, author of the Spiritual Atheist"Britt Hartley breezes through her own story in her first chapter and then buckles down to help the rest of us figure out what comes next.." Bart Campolo, Creator of the Humanize Me Podcasthttps://nononsensespirituality.com/@nononsensespirituality
