Rediscovering Spirituality: Bonnie Violet's Journey Through Queer Lenses
Sometimes I think, in living a spiritual life now or in like- yeah, I think I feel like there's just an awareness that I have.
Ever felt like spirituality was slipping through your fingers? Bonnie Violet, a queer chaplain, takes you on a deeply personal journey in this episode of 'A Queer Chaplain'. Tackling the tough question, 'When was a time that you didn't feel spiritual?', Bonnie opens up about the challenges of staying present and how overthinking can cloud our spiritual connections.
She reflects on her struggles with the concept of a divine plan, especially when life gets painful, and redefines spirituality as a mutual journey of helping each other grow, rather than following a rigid set of rules. Bonnie also dives into the unique intersection of drag and spirituality, sharing how her drag artistry becomes a profound expression of her spiritual self. It's not just about glitter and glam; it's about finding and showing your true essence.
As a highlight, Bonnie recounts a touching story of crafting a personalized wedding ceremony for a couple who wanted to infuse their special day with spirituality, despite not being religious. This episode isn't just for those in the LGBTQIA+ community but for anyone feeling disconnected from their spiritual path. With empathy and honesty, Bonnie offers insights on reconnecting with your spirituality and living a fuller, more meaningful life.
