3.6.12 Spirituality and Sex: Our Tales of Positive Disintegration
Hear the historical struggles and current successes of two gifted women of color on paths of spiritual and sexual moral development who are each ever-striving for authenticity and self-actualization. Personal stories discussing overexcitabilities, religion, spirituality, sexuality, self-understanding, and acceptance will be structured and shared in alignment with Dabrowski's Theory of Positive Disintegration. This presentation provides a brief introduction to our work and speaks of the impact of religious purity culture on gifted women and explores how social, physical, and spiritual experiences may serve as a catalyst for the disintegration and development of a gifted individual.
