House Of Our Queer
Core Principles
All of our offerings are based on these core principles.
We will never tell you what to believe or how to engage with ritual.
Queerness is a Blessing
Queerness as a gift.
​
We understand that queerness isn't just about relationships, but an approach to our bodies, connections, and even beliefs that have ever-evolving space.
Centering the Blessing Of Queerness ensures that the offerings are affirming for LGBTQ+ people, and creates a safer space for spiritual exploration.
Mental Health
Spirituality is a mental health support.
​
Spiritual rituals can connect us with support from things bigger than ourselves, and also ground us in our bodies and intuitions.
​
Having a spiritual practice and engaging in regular spiritual rituals supports our mental health and well-being, and can combat isolation.
Reclaiming
When something isn't right, we can be quick to reject.We reject and we push away, but we aren’t sure what to put in place of what we reject, which can leave us feeling empty.
Instead, House Of Our Queer encourages reframing and reclaiming holidays, practices, rituals, and even beliefs that can serve us in our spiritual wellness.
