What would it mean to queer contemplation? To disentangle contemplative spirituality from heteronormativity, patriarchy, and Eurocentricity, and instead engage with openness, curiosity, and a little weirdness?

Cassidy Hall (she/her/hers) hosts conversations queering the contemplative tradition.

The podcast is created in affiliation with her book, Queering Contemplation: Finding Queerness in the Roots and Future of Contemplative Spirituality (Broadleaf, 2024).
