Join the Movement. Keep the Faith. Feel the Spirit.

Back for a second year -- and expanded to three hours!

Time/Place: Baltimore, MD, Saturday, January 28, 2012, afternoon.

Register through Creating Change www.creatingchange.org

Join us as we celebrate movements of the spirit as an integral part of transgender organizing and movement building! How do people of faith impact transgender health and wellness around the world? Does your spiritual journey weave together with your activism? From what sources do you find the strength to sustain your work? Participants from Creating Change and Practice Spirit, Do Justice are invited come together to network, resource one another, and share experiences. Colleagues from religious and secular organizations are encouraged to be present, whatever your spiritual belief system.

This session is intended for persons of transgender experience whose spiritual life flows in, around, through and/or along side their activism. Definitions of "spiritual life" and "activism" will be as diverse as our participants. Participants will continue the conversation begun last year addressing how transgender spirituality does or doesn't integrate with transgender activism -- in our individual lives, in our organizations, in our communities.

What participants said in 2011:

This was a very good chance to connect and grow.

During the workshop I had a transforming experience that allowed me to connect my heart to social justice through my faith.

Critical!! This was like a conference within a conference for spiritual/religious/social justice trans/GNC leaders.  SO rare that we get that and we need more!

The workshop will help my be more centered  and anchored in my organizing.

Provided an important safe space for sharing our diverse faith experiences as trans people. I met and came to know some amazing people.
