Joyfully Queer: Surviving and Thriving During the Holidays

Joyfully Queer: Surviving and Thriving During the Holidays

The holidays can be complicated — full of love and light for some, but also stress, family tension, or loneliness for many queer folks. You don’t have to go through it alone.

Join Interfaith Minister of Queer Joy & Creative Liberation, Bethany Meier-Evans, for a warm, affirming, and practical workshop on surviving and thriving during the holidays. Together, we’ll talk about navigating family dynamics, setting boundaries, and creating new rituals of joy and connection that honor who you are.

You’ll leave with:
- Tools for protecting your peace and energy
- Ideas for queer-centered holiday joy and chosen family traditions
- A sense of community, affirmation, and belonging

Come as you are, and let’s make this holiday season joyfully, authentically queer.

This one-hour gathering will include reflection, discussion, and a touch of queer magic.

It will be recorded for those 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, even (and especially) during the holidays.
