ATLANTA: Crafting a Queer Spirituality - Small Group Discussion

## 🌈✨ This Here Flesh: Exploring Queer Spirituality Together

A community conversation inspired by Cole Arthur Riley

What does spirituality look like when queer bodies, stories, and lives are taken seriously as sacred?

For the next several months, we’re focused on crafting a queer spirituality rooted in bold honesty and care for our bodies. Together, we’ll reflect on how our lived experiences shape a faith that is authentic and liberating.

Each gathering includes meaningful conversation and a space to reflect together. Some weeks we’ll talk about spirituality. Other weeks we’ll sit with our stories.

Come curious. Come tired. Come skeptical. Come hopeful.

No one belongs here more than you!

### 🏳️‍🌈 Atlanta LGBTQIA+ Small Group

We meet twice a month to explore faith, culture, and life together—from theology and pop culture to personal stories and community connection. Whether you’re deeply religious, spiritually curious, deconstructing, or rebuilding after church hurt, you are welcome here.

✔ All identities and orientations welcome
✔ All faith backgrounds (and none) welcome
✔ No pressure to perform or believe the “right” thing

Friends are always welcome—this is a bring-your-people kind of space.
