    Queer Priestexx Uprising: Breaking the Binary│7 Signs of Your Spiritual Power + Reclaiming Spiritual Authority

    What if everything we've been taught about personal identity, spirituality, and reality itself… was built on an illusion? And what if lgbtq+ people can see through that illusion? 🌈 The Yogic concept of non-duality invites us to see reality as a living, breathing spectrum of existence. The illusion of duality is the idea in Yoga Philosophy that everything we perceive in our minds as separate from us, is actually part of a unified whole. This episode explores the rising wave of Queer Priestexxes worldwide who intuitively understand this concept, and are reclaiming their power, their voice, and their personal connection to the Divine. In this episode, you’ll learn: 🌈 What is a queer priestexx? Also known as the queer witch or shaman archetype (beyond religion, gender neutral) 🌈 Why reclaiming lgbtq+ joy and queer spiritual authenticity are acts of resistance 🌈 How Yoga and Tantra guide us back to unity and Self-realization 🌈 Lee shares 7 signs that you may be a part of the sacred Queer Priestexx uprising Queer identity, by its very nature, challenges binary thinking. Which means queer folks are often already walking the path of spiritual awakening — whether they realize it or not. If you’ve ever felt like you don’t quite “fit in" to traditional spiritual spaces… hit play now.

    Walking Across the U.S. on Faith | A Yogi’s Journey from Depression to Spiritual Freedom

    What would it feel like to surrender completely — to let go of certainty and trust something greater? What if the key to freedom involves releasing everything you thought defined "success"? ✨ In this deeply moving episode, Lee sits down for a powerful conversation with their long time Yoga teacher, Swami Sankarananda, who is a Yogic monk of the Sivananda Yoga order. (https://sivananda.org/) In this episode, you’ll discover: 🧡 The breaking point of deep depression that initiated a complete life transformation for the Swami - from being a jet-setting business man, to taking vows of renunciation in India. 🧡 The spiritual lessons he learned from walking across the entire United States with almost nothing, on a two-year pilgrimage for peace. (Btw, he doesn't like to walk!) 🧡 The true meaning of faith — not blind faith, but faith which is based on and earned through spiritual experience. If you’ve ever questioned your path, felt stuck in a life that looks "good" on the outside but feels empty on the inside, or wondered what it means to truly devote yourself to the Yogic path, then hit play now because this conversation is for you! ✨ Join our email list for info on upcoming Silent Retreats in Ohio + Queer Yoga Retreats: https://youareloved.one/pod ✨ Swami Sankaranandaji's website: Divine Grace Yoga ~~~ Queer Soul Alchemy is a podcast that explores the sacred intersections of Yoga, Ayurveda, Astrology, Sexuality, and Spirituality as pathways of personal transformation, healing, and healthy self-expression.
