Belief, Belonging, and Breaking Free: Sex, Cults & Rock n’ Roll (In Person)

From a sexless marriage to a celibate cult community to the world of addiction and rock ’n’ roll, three authors discuss the courage it takes to tell the truth and write about the gritty underbelly of choices made. In this panel, memoirists Wendy B. Correa, Alisa Kriegel, and Priya Hutner explore themes of sexual repression, relationships, love, loss, and what it takes to break free from the bondage of belief. Discover how confronting truth is freeing, what it takes to bleed on the page, the risks of telling the truth, and how writing is a tool for healing and self-discovery.
