I’ve been AWOL for some time dealing with the aftermath of some loss and trauma resurfacing…. this tells a bit about it. Will be traveling and hiking again soon so will update more later. Big hugs and lots of love ❤️
Saina Kamula is a Finnish-American lady who was raised into Scientology, but ultimately made her way out of the religion. She was recently featured on an episode of the television show Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath.
Here’s my interview with Saina.

1) Where were you born?
Stockholm, Sweden but both parents are Finnish
2) What does Finland mean to you nowadays? Have you visited lately?
I was just in Finland for about 1-2 months until beginning of August this year. Went and visited family after walking the Camino.I lived there about 6 years ago or so as well, for a year or two while my beloved grandma was suffering from dementia and I wanted to be with her.Finland will always be one of my main two homes… LA being the other. I have many family and friends…

I first listened to you on the Sounds of the Trail podcast. You were my favorite correspondent. I recently saw you on A&E. You’re a strong person. It’s people like you that give the rest of us strength. Keep on keeping on!

I hope you continue to find healing.
I like this quote:
“I find Mother Nature to be my faith… trees and the forests are like my temple and lakes/oceans are my holy water.”
I grew up in a fundamentalist Christian family, but I didn’t experience the kind of trauma you endured. I no longer believe the teachings I grew up with and most of my family thinks I’ll be sent to Hell when I die. At least we speak to each other (and debate) and we are cordial when we visit.
Peace 🌴
