👑 GOD in Drag: Bonnie Violet on Spirituality and Authenticity
For me, I have always had the sense that the transgender soul and the art of drag naturally open us up to the highest levels of Spirituality.
Imagine a world where drag artistry and spirituality intertwine, creating a unique tapestry of self-expression and divine connection. In this episode of 'A Queer Chaplain', Bonnie Violet, a trans genderqueer spiritual drag artist, sits down with Pete Cospin to share her journey. Bonnie, who is also a rape survivor and a person living with HIV in recovery from drugs and alcohol, brings a profound perspective on how spirituality can flourish in the face of adversity.
Bonnie and Pete dive into the idea of 'GOD in drag', inspired by Ram Dass's famous quote, 'Treat everyone like GOD in drag'. They explore how this concept challenges societal norms and opens up new avenues for understanding spirituality. What if we weren't afraid to be our true selves? How would that change our spiritual journeys?
Bonnie's insights are both eye-opening and deeply moving, as she discusses the role of drag artists as spiritual leaders and the importance of creating inclusive spaces for trans individuals. Throughout the episode, Bonnie emphasizes the power of authenticity and self-expression. She shares her belief that spirituality is what lifts her into who she truly is, encouraging listeners to embrace their own paths without fear.
The conversation is not just informative but also inspiring, offering a fresh perspective on queer theology and the transformative power of being true to oneself. Whether you're exploring your own spiritual path or simply curious about the intersection of drag and spirituality, this episode offers valuable insights and heartfelt stories that resonate with anyone seeking deeper understanding and acceptance.
