Finding Spiritual Connections: A Workshop with Bonnie Violet and Joseph Leonardi
I think a lot of folks feel like they have to leave parts of themselves out of certain conversations or certain rooms or certain environments, and I feel like that's a big thing of what, like the spirituality that I strive for now, actually allows me to be integrated.
Have you ever wondered when you feel most connected to your spirit? Bonnie Violet, a queer chaplain, invites you to explore this profound question in her engaging workshop series. In this third episode, she is joined by special guest Joseph Leonardi, who shares three poignant stories from his life, each laced with spiritual significance. Joseph's narratives highlight the importance of being true to oneself and integrating all parts of one's identity.
Bonnie also reads a piece called 'Body Shop', reflecting on the deep connection between scent and memory, and her own journey with religion and spirituality. This episode dives into themes of self-compassion, unpacking past traumas, and nurturing one's spirit. Bonnie encourages participants to embrace every part of themselves on their path to personal healing.
