For me, recovery and liberation are synonyms, and knowing that we all, collectively, are challenging what is considered normal and finding a way to embody the world as a community built up of individuals centered in expiration, love, appreciation, gratitude and, most importantly, I think, really respecting the hell out of each other.
Ever thought about how drag and spirituality intersect? Bonnie Violet, a queer chaplain, hosts a captivating panel discussion that dives into the concept of embodiment within the realms of drag and spirituality. Featuring panelists like Eric Dorsa, a drag queen and comedian, and Lola Escándalo, a yoga teacher and drag artist, this episode explores the profound ways drag can be a tool for spiritual liberation and mental health healing.
Eric Dorsa shares their journey as a national LGBTQI+ mental health advocate, highlighting how drag helped them break free from societal norms and embrace their true self. Lola Escándalo brings a unique perspective as a survivor of conversion therapy who found healing through drag and interfaith spirituality. Her message of love, spirit, and acceptance resonates deeply as she discusses deconstructing her Christian faith and embracing her divine feminine.
The panelists delve into the importance of daily practices, listening to one's body, and using love as a spiritual act. They challenge conventional ideas of normalcy and emphasize the need for a community built on respect, love, and gratitude. Through their personal stories, they illustrate how drag can be a powerful medium for self-expression and mental health recovery.
This episode is not just for those within the LGBTQIA+ community but for anyone curious about how spirituality can intersect with modern life in unexpected ways. It's a heartwarming and thought-provoking discussion that encourages listeners to honor their bodies, embrace their authentic selves, and build supportive communities.
