Joyfully Queer: Play as Liberation

Joyfully Queer: Play as Liberation

As queer people, we often grow up learning to be careful, to protect, to survive — and sometimes we forget how to play. But play isn’t frivolous; it’s a vital expression of joy, creativity, and freedom.

You are invited to an uplifting workshop designed to help you reconnect with your sense of wonder and imagination. Through gentle movement, guided visualization, and playful creative exercises, we’ll explore how curiosity and joy can become practices of resistance and renewal.

In this workshop, you’ll find:
- A guided visualization to awaken joy and curiosity
- Playful creative activities to spark imagination and laughter
- Reflection on the role of play in healing burnout and perfectionism
- Practical tools to bring lightness and joy into daily life
- A supportive, affirming space to celebrate your queer joy and creativity

This event will be recorded for folks who cannot attend live.

Hi, I’m Bethany Meier-Evans, your Interfaith Minister of Queer Joy & Creative Liberation. I’m the author of Joyfully Queer: A Mosaic of Self-Love, Community, and Resistance (coming April, 2026) and a Queer Joy Coach helping LGBTQ+ folks reclaim self-love, confidence, and authentic belonging.

I also lead the Joyfully Queer Collective, a supportive community on Facebook, TikTok, and Patreon where we explore what it means to live, love, and thrive as our full, radiant selves.

Through writing, teaching, and community care, my mission is to remind us all that queer joy is sacred, revolutionary, and deeply human — and that we deserve to experience it every day!
