Mystic South

Come explore Pagan traditions featuring LGBTQ themes and characters for encouragement and inspiration to both queer Pagans and allies at a time when legislation in the US increasingly targets the LGBTQ community. Where does gender and sexuality blur in Paganism? Are there LGBTQ themes or lessons to empower us spiritually? We often must read between the lines to discover helpful tools or models for navigating oppressive situations or spaces. Nature's diversity serves as our touchstone, and often what we need is right in front of us. We'll explore promising concepts including the Divine Androgyne and shape-shifting as a metaphor. Participants are encouraged to bring their own experiences and questions. This workshop is geared toward empowering LGBTQ folks and allies in their personal Pagan practice and providing resources for spiritual resilience.
