Queer Spirituality Online Conference

Queer Spirit Festival is part of a global awakening to the spiritual history, nature and calling of Lesbian-Gay-Bi-Trans-Queer People... 

We are excited that Queer Spirit Festival will be involved in this upcoming virtual conference:

'RECLAIMING OUR SPIRITUAL HERITAGE' June 17-24

 SPIRITUALITY IS THE NEXT STEP FOR THE GLOBAL LGBTQ+ COMMUNITY:

In 2 months time around 600 queer spirits will be gathering in the bucolic setting of Bridwell Park in Devon at the 4th QUEER SPIRIT FESTIVAL. The festival theme is Reclaiming Queer Nature – there will be group ceremonies, healing rituals, activism and celebration – over 30 performers and DJs are lining up to share their creative talents – and around 40 facilitors will be offering workshops, magical ceremonies, talks, discussions and unique experiences to enhance and excite your queer spirit! 

The tide is turning! The roots of religious homophobia are being exposed! The decolonisation of sexuality and gender is underway and queer people are discovering, claiming and reclaiming our own natural spirituality. At Queer Spirit we will breathe, talk, dance, laugh and love together in the embrace of stunning countryside, commune with the faerie spirits of air, fire water and earth, honour our ancestors and nourish our souls – healing the wounds of religiously based homophobia to release the divine creativity in our queerness...

QUEER SPIRIT FESTIVAL IS PART OF A GLOBAL AWAKENING TO THE SPIRITUAL HISTORY, NATURE AND CALLING OF LESBIAN-GAY-BI-TRANS-QUEER PEOPLE:

There's an opportunity coming up this weekend to get more deeply attuned to this powerful shift in LGBTQ+ life by taking part in this ground-breaking online conference hosted from the USA by Christian de la Huerta (author of Coming Out Spiritually), which is being hailed as a direct response from the LGBTQ+ community to the recent dark surge of transphobia and homophobia

Reclaiming Our Spiritual Heritage: An LGBTQ Spirituality Virtual Conference

June 17-24, 2023

Queer Spirit Festival has been invited to be a sponsor of this online event, and festival organiser Shokti will be taking part – please check out their website for the full list of speakers.

As a direct response to the rise of anti-LGBTQ crimes and laws (in USA, Uganda etc) in recent years and to rising anti-trans rhetoric, the Reclaiming Our Spiritual Heritage: An LGBTQ Spirituality Virtual Conference, June 17-24, 2023, challenges the connection between homophobia and religion. The conference, featuring a wide array of internationally known LGTBTQ+ voices, provides a timely and relevant platform to raise awareness and inspire change and aims to help the LGBTQ community find deeper levels of wholeness and self-acceptance.

“It’s tragic that many in the LGBTQ community struggle with issues around spirituality. We confuse it with religion and, no wonder, given the treatment we have received at the hands of most religions,” said conference organizer Christian de la Huerta, author of Coming Out Spiritually and Awakening the Soul of Power. “But what’s ironic about that is that before the patriarchal cultures and religions, people that we today refer to as LGBTQ were not only spiritually inclined, but were honored for the roles of spiritual service and leadership they played all over the world.”

Speakers include, among others, Prince Manvendra Singh Gohil, Crown Prince of the State of Gujarat in India, still the only openly gay prince in the world; Rev. Elder Cecilia Eggleston, Moderator of The Metropolitan Community Church (MCC), an international LGBT-affirming mainline Protestant Christian denomination; Kierra Johnson, Executive Director of the National LGBTQ Task Force; and Clyde Hall, an internationally recognized and acknowledged authority of Native American culture, dance ritual and folkways.
