Visions& is an interview series with practitioners and leaders who are at the edges of transforming and liberating spirituality and spiritual spaces—leading the way into new visions of expanding mythic stories, the practices behind them, and the gathering around them.
In this episode of Visions&, host Eréndira Jiménez Esquinca interviews Marchaé Grair, a Black, queer, nonbinary storyteller, spiritual director, and facilitator.
They discuss Grair’s work at Black Lives of Unitarian Universalism and Still Harbor, the current spiritual landscape, and the reckoning facing religious institutions. Grair emphasizes the importance of returning to foundational traditions, the significance of place in spirituality, and the need to collectivize spiritual legitimacy. They also delve into the personal and collective pain experienced during spiritual transformations and the necessity of slowing down for true liberation.
The conversation touches on themes of polyamory, decolonization, embodiment of spiritual practices, and the balance between career and spirituality.
The Commons at EJE Studio (formerly Spirit School) is an evolving multi-media portal that bridges the space between Self, Spirit, and Story to engage with a shifting spiritual landscape and inspire the transformation and liberation of individuals, communities, and the world.
