Abstract
I doubt I’m alone in the neurodivergent community in being a “seeker” of belonging, connection, meaning and purpose - which are our basic spiritual needs - and as someone who has looked to have these needs met in a variety of community settings and organisations when my family of origin and schooling left them unrealised. This lifelong compulsion and search to fulfil these entirely natural human needs positioned me on a lifelong path of studying a Master of Arts (MA) theology, experiencing nature-based and Goddess spirituality, which I immersed myself in after leaving the Anglican Church, and training in wellness and healing modalities. All of these arenas, I’ve discovered, are forums in which safeguarding is often lacking or inadequate.
