    A queer-led, trauma-informed workshop on how to collaborate with the Universe/Spirit/Divine.Many of us grew up with unhelpful or problematic ideas about "God" that took away our agency or left us feeling unworthy. Prayer was like an algorithm we were supposed to perfect.And outside of religious institutions, if you're looking for spiritual direction, it can be difficult to know where to start or what will work for you.This workshop is all about what it means to be a co-collaborator instead of a passive participant: in the direction of your life and your relationship with the Divine.This isn't a workshop selling some method about how to get rich or find love. And we don't believe in easy answers to complex issues regarding suffering and injustice.Instead, our presenters will offer their own experiences about healing from religious trauma, and cultivating spiritual practices that have helped them build meaningful relationships with Spirit and deeper self-love.This event is sponsored by the Radical Soul newsletter which looks at spiritual movements and practices that center justice, offer healing from religious trauma, and reject white and Christian supremacy.Book Me To Keynote or Facilitate WorkshopBonnie Violet, @aqueerchaplain @transpirit Other Podcasts @splinteredgrace @dragandspirituality                              @dragspiritualitysummit For More Info or To Support Me

Her music shines a spotlight on the queer spiritual journey, telling stories of resilience and recovery from religious trauma. With a bold lip and a big lash, Flamy is here to rewrite the rules when it comes to religious music, as her songs demand a reckoning for an industry that has for too long silenced and shut out its LGBTQ+ artists and fans.
