You don’t have to worship where you’re not wanted.

Tonight 16 of us joined our Monday night contemplative spirituality group. We come from the US, Canada and Australia, queers of all kinds, from many backgrounds. We come as we are; experience God together through music, readings, and the words of our friends; and see what happens.

What a beautiful evening... I'm always grateful for our Monday night contemplative spirituality group for LGBTQ+ people and our allies. We come as we are, experience God, and see what happens. Tonight, 12 people gathered from all over the US and Canada, including one newcomer.

Such a lovely night tonight! We always use a lyric video for the song when we can go make it more accessible, but I totally recommend watching the official video for Window which is so powerful youtu.be/97oZcQr6beI?...

Tonight's contemplative spirituality group for queer folks & allies was lovely. We had a slightly larger group than usual - 18 people, from all over the US & Canada, including 2 new friends. As always, we were invited to bring our whole selves and experience the Divine together.

It's an allies night. Join us?

I'm always grateful for my Monday night queer contemplative spirituality groups. We gather each week to experience the Divine together, to listen for God's voice in music, scripture, poetry, and the voices of friends. Tonight, 17 of us gathered, from all over the US & Canada.

Cheers, Queers! See you tonight?

I'm always grateful for my Monday night contemplative spirituality groups for queer folks. Tonight was open to allies, and we had a really sweet time together. 13 of us, from all over the US and Canada, gathered to experience God through music, poetry, and one another.

Oh hey! It's an allies night!

I guess I'm watching Annie Hall for the first time tonight.

Last night's Contemplative Spirituality Group for LGBTQIA+ folks and our allies was really lovely. We had more people than usual, and the conversation was fascinating. We are always invited to bring our whole selves - just as we are, experience God, and see what happens.

This poem!!! I'll be sitting with this one for a good while. So much to ponder. Thank you for these words @razorfemme.bsky.social

I LOVE this song so much and combined with the poem, I had a lot of big feelings picking these. Neither being consumed/consuming as traumaporn nor brightsiding spiritual bypassing is the way. We must go through the paradox, the grief and the joy, the gratitude and the rage, loneliness and belonging.

SO many thoughts about this poem. I'm grateful for @razorfemme.bsky.social putting concise words to concepts I ramble on and on about. :D

I love my Monday night LGBTQIA+ contemplative spirituality group. I've had a pretty stressful, anxious day, but this community always welcomes me as I am and the Spirit meets me there. I'm always grateful for our shared experience of the Divine.

Join us! 🙏🏼❤️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Holy cow! I'm reading about this Zach Bryan/John Mayer concert in Michigan tomorrow night... It's going to break the all-time attendance record for a single (non-festival) concert! They expect 112,000 people! And my son will be on that stage! 🤯

I have to brag on my son Jake for a minute. He's part of the tech crew for the John Mayer Band as they tour the Midwest. They're opening for Zach Bryan tonight and tomorrow night, and then headlining a few shows. He's supporting legendary percussionist Lenny Castro. So excited for him!

If we’re renaming departments and calling the DOD the “Department of War”, we might as well go ahead and make the DOJ the “Department of Revenge”

I'm so grateful for my Monday night contemplative spirituality group. Especially in this midst of this ugly, divisive moment in our nation's history, it was meaningful to be together tonight, to just breathe and be and rest together in the Presence of the Holy.

It was a powerful evening of storytelling and music tonight with @derekwwebb.bsky.social in San Francisco. I’ve been following along as he describes the world as he sees it for more than three decades now...

san francisco - SOLD OUT! 🌈 sharing these songs in a city with such a powerful queer history feels like a full-circle moment. thank you for showing up in such a big way. @flamygrant.bsky.social and i cannot wait to see you this saturday.

Can’t wait to see @flamygrant.bsky.social and @derekwwebb.bsky.social in SF tomorrow night! ❤️

I'm grateful for tonight's LGBTQ+ contemplative spirituality group. As always - even on Labor Day! - we "come as we are, experience God, and see what happens." Tonight, we welcomed people from all over the US and Canada - including TWO new people from Louisiana, of all places!

It’s Labor Day, but the contemplative queers are still gathering tonight. Join us?
