- The Queer Spirit Oct 31 · 30m Bridging the Binaries with Brandi StanleyBrandi Stanley (she/her) makes a living out of making connections—science and art, fermenting and theology, permaculture and social movements, neuroscience and dance. If creativity is the ability to connect the seemingly un-connectable, that’s the art she practices. In love with the space between things—the intersections and the paradoxes—she's constantly looking for what insights can be gained when we mash the unexpected together and the growth that happens when we learn to hold complexity. These days, she does that by running a podcast and writing a newsletter, both under the name This Plus That, where she's interviewed guests like authors David Epstein & Charles Eisenstein, and well-known artists like Ashley Eliza Williams and Tyler Thrasher. When she's not working on the pod, though, you can find her obsessing over great food and fermenting everything in sight. Episode Highlights Brandi shares how she left the world of marketing and branding, listened to her heart, and started her podcast and newsletter. We explore the practice of finding balance, connection, and opposites. She talks about her own healing journey of opposing forces in her body and how she cultivates balance in herself today. We discuss the gift of queerness in that we bridge the binaries and help others see connections between poles. We talk about the concept of holding opposites within ourselves and being capable of holding one side without having to jettison the other. Brandi shares her insight that the root of many emotional and physical ailments is inflammation, both in a material and immaterial sense.

- Reconstructing Spiritual Practice with Mahrs Schoppman & Scott SessionsMahrs Schoppman, born and raised in California, is a queer & trans somatic psychotherapist with a private practice based out of his home office in Occidental, California. He specializes in working with the queer community and with those who live with the embodied traumatic impacts of growing up in an oppressive religious environment. He is passionate about walking with people on their journeys of reclaiming embodied knowing, sensation, emotional range, and vitality. Currently, he is launching a series of religious trauma therapy groups with an understanding that group-based trauma needs group based healing. Born queer and raised orthodox Mormon, Scott Sessions knows about navigating worlds that seem like polar opposites. Scott, who now identifies as an agnostic post-Mormon mystic, is developing a career as a spiritual life coach. He helps those who have left restrictive religions to cultivate new spiritual practices that bring healing and inner peace. In addition to coaching, Scott runs monthly reading events (both online and in-person) called Queer Bedtime Stories, where folks come together to share and be moved by the words of LGBTQ authors. With a commitment to help meet the spiritual needs of this particular moment, standing firm in both Mormon and queer identities, Scott proudly carries the pioneer tradition into the 21st century. Episode Highlights Mahrs shares about his upbringing in the Evangelical Christian church, and how that effected him as a queer and trans person. Scott shares about his childhood growing up queer in a Mormon community, and struggled with his queer identity and coming out in that space. They both share how they found their path out of the dysfunction of those religious sects, and discovered their new spiritual practices. Mahrs shares how his relationship with the sensations of his body deeply impacted his ability to reconstruct his spiritual self. Scott talks about how he felt numb when he left his church and reconnected to spiritual sensation through writing and poetry. He also shares that learning about the spiritual practice of other queer folks informs his practices as well. Mahrs shares how his work as a psychotherapist is expanding to offer groups for folks recovering from religious trauma. He explains more about what somatic psychology therapy practices look like in practice. Scott shares about his new life coaching groups for queer folks who have left restrictive religions. He also talks about his Queer Bedtime Stories for folks to gather in a soft space to connect online and in-person.

- Erotic by Nature with Darshana Avila"We are erotic by nature." This is the core belief underlying all that Darshana Avila offers as an Erotic Wholeness coach and guide. Supporting folx to establish a deeply felt sense of pleasure and ease in their bodies and relationships is her joy. Guiding folx to reconsider the stories they've been told about who they ought to be and what it takes to belong is her passion. She shares all this through a somatic sex and intimacy coaching style that is trauma informed, justice oriented and nature based. Episode Highlights Nick & Darshana discuss the difference between erotic and sexual states of being and how we can cultivate our own eros through connection with the natural world. Darshana shares how she helps folks heal from trauma and shame, and to learn and prioritize our own pleasure. We learn about Darshana’s Erotic Wholeness coaching practice.
