Divinity Beyond Binaries: Spiritual Grounding for Gender Liberation
Session Description:
Liberation in the world begins with a liberation within—a realization that so often we are more than we have been told. While modern societies may have led folks to believe that gender nonbinary identities are somehow new and based on theory or ideology, gender beyond the binary has a deep grounding in divine cosmologies and spiritual experiences across the world and from time immemorial. This dynamic conversation traverses some of these deeper histories and stories, the ways in which colonization has sought to erase gender pluralisms, and how pushing back and claiming our fullest selves and communities of care can reignite spirituality today for full gender liberation.
