Spiritual Care and Drag: Insights from the Drag & Spirituality Summit Panel
Sometimes it doesn't have to look like what folks will expect, and I'm good to roll with it.
Ever wondered how drag artistry and spirituality intersect? In this episode of 'A Queer Chaplain', Bonnie Violet brings together an extraordinary panel at the Drag & Spirituality Summit to dive into this fascinating topic. Moderated by John M. Brett, also known as Rev Bené Diction, the discussion features insights from Revel and Rev. Diana Wheeler, who share their unique perspectives on spiritual care within the drag community.
Revel, a disabled and mad massage therapist, death doula, and storyteller, speaks about embracing one's full self and connecting with ancestral roots. Meanwhile, Rev. Diana Wheeler, or Rev. Anita Prayer, discusses the importance of inclusive spiritual spaces for LGBTQ+ individuals. This episode is a heartfelt exploration of how self-expression, heritage, and community support can create a sanctuary for those navigating both their spiritual and queer identities.
Whether you're part of the LGBTQ+ community or simply curious about the blend of drag and spirituality, this conversation offers valuable reflections and inspiring stories.
