OSLA Alt Faith Collective

RSVP IS REQUIRED AS THIS IS A CLOSED EVENT: Email revdeb@1spirit.org.

The widespread loss of vital Alternative Relationship and Alternative Identity social, spiritual, and community forums during the pandemic inspired the creation of the OSLA Alt Faith Collective. This private monthly online forum provides a warm and affirming spiritual safe haven for OSLA's Altfolk to be together, engage in sacred connection, and receive support in nourishing our unique and divinely created Alt souls. Program content includes theological exploration of Altness and holiness, inspirational and Affirming readings, discussion, participant sharing and mutual support, and other content aimed at buttressing OSLA's Altfolk as we walk our sacred paths as ministers, counselors, leaders, scholars, healers, educators, students, and seekers. 

This group is for Altfolk and those exploring their Altness. Committed Allies or people who want to become Allies are warmly encouraged to reach out to Rev. Deb for resources, information, and a comprehensive reading list. 

Alternative (or "Alt") is a purposefully broad term encompassing people who are oriented to diverse non-mainstream relationships or family/kinship constellations, or whose sex, sexuality, sexual practices, and/or gender expressions are non-stereotypical or non-conforming. Alt Relationship and Alt Identity populations include, but are not limited to, Polyamory, Ethical Non-Monogamy, Kink, BDSM, Leather, Consensual Power Exchange, Chosen Families, LGBT, Queer, Genderqueer, Fluid or Fluctuating, and beyond, as well as those who are in discernment as to where they might land in this beautiful firmament of Altness. 

Meeting every 2nd Tuesday of the month, 7:00 pm - 8:10 pm EST.
