Spiritual Care

Liberated Together Spiritual Care creates spaces for spiritual care and renewal that center the lived experience of WOC/ Queer WOC and non-binary folks. We provide spiritual care groups, training for new spiritual directors, and a networking space for the continuing education of experienced spiritual directors. As a branch of Liberated Together, our cohorts prioritize the healing and liberation of WoC/QWoC and non-binary folks.

Our Spirituality

Women of Color

We Draw from WOC Theology

Our spirituality centers the lived experience and spiritual realities of WOC/ Queer WOC and non-binary folks. We honor our specific ethnic and cultural traditions and we seek to reclaim them, while acknowledging our collective experience of systemic and institutionalized injustice. We welcome exploration, questions, ambiguity, and healing. We honor the voices of the mothers, aunties, and grandmothers of our spiritual traditions.

Queer

We Center Queer Wisdom

We practice a spirituality that is guided by the wisdom of our queer ancestors who defied dehumanization and taught a spirituality anchored in love, fluidity, expansiveness and radical imagination. We believe in a spirituality rooted in a liberatory existence that disrupts binaries and hierarchies freeing us from the violence of heteronormativity and homophobia. We honor Queer wisdom, agency, love, power, resilience, and hope.

Collective

We Hold a Collective Spirituality

Spirituality is our everyday connection to the sacred and divine. This connection is communal and includes the experiences of all faith traditions, spiritual lineages, the living presence of our ancestors, as well as our nature kin. Our spiritual wellbeing is connected to the communities to which we belong and are accountable to including ethnic communities and chosen kin. We hold values of co-creative learning and collective care.

Liberative

We are Committed to Liberation

We believe that spirituality is intrinsically tied to our liberation. We foster spiritual communities that embody justice and compassion. We actively resist systems and ideologies that uphold white supremacy, anti-Blackness, patriarchy, ableism, and homophobia. A liberative spirituality is a sustainable spirituality which makes room for healing, imagination, and creativity.

Ancestral

We Honor Our Ancestral Traditions

We believe in the active and living presence of our ancestors. We are committed to decolonizing spiritual teachings that co-opt our cultural wisdom and perpetuate the erasure and demonization of our ancestral communities. Our spirituality incorporates the spiritual practices, lineages, rituals and celebrations of our ancestors. We honor the voices of the mothers, aunties, and grandmothers of our spiritual traditions.

Embodied

We Practice Embodiment

Our body is the sacred space in which we experience the divine.

Our bodies, in all their expressions non-binary, trans, disabled, fat, cis, female, dark and light skinned are good and sacred. Our bodies speak truth and wisdom, though they may not always feel good. We access divine connection when we fully inhabit our bodies in our grief, pleasure, desires, and joy.
