This event will explore the intersection of spirituality and sexuality. How do the ways in which we express and play with our sexuality deepen our spiritual paths? How does our religious/ spiritual self affect our sexual identity? Guest speakers will share their stories and strategies for integrating these two aspects of human nature. Our panelists are: Amichai Lau-Lavie, the Founder, Artistic and Executive Director of Storahtelling: Jewish Ritual Theatre Revived; Paul Wirhun, a.k.a. Rosie Delicious, an artist and erotic healer and member of the radical fairy community; and Michelle Slack, an African-American Second Year Master of Divinity student at Union Theological Seminary whose primary focus is pastoral ministry and theology, as well as liturgical studies and vocal/gospel music. Our moderator is Gabriel Blau, the founder of the God & Sexuality Conference at Bard College and has spoken and written extensively on homosexuality and Judaism.
