SDI LGBTQ+ Gathering March 2024
March 20, 2024 @ 9:00 am – 10:15 am PDT
This is a space for LGBTQIA+ spiritual directors and companions to gather and connect.
Brave Blessings!
In this session we will explore how we, as LGBTQIA individuals and communities have experienced “blessings” in our lives, and how our spiritual practices have opened us up to meaningful healing, growth and aliveness. We will examine how such blessings are not bound by space and time and are both individual and collective experiences. Together, we will explore how we have experienced blessings in the past and how they are present today. We will also dance with what role(s) blessing might play within spiritual companionship to enrich/reclaim connections to the Sacred, to strengthen and transform us to bravely face the issues/opportunities we and our companions are facing in our troubled world.
