✨ Holding space. Sharing stories. Sparkling the sacred. ✨
Hosted by Bonnie Violet Quintana — a trans femme genderqueer spiritual drag artist and digital chaplain — A Queer Chaplain podcast is where healing meets glitter, spirituality meets skepticism, and the sacred is reclaimed, one story at a time.
This podcast is a soft landing for the tender, the curious, the ex-religious, the spiritual-ish, the seekers, the creators, the joyful, the recovering, and the beautifully complicated. Each episode weaves together interviews, reflections, and spiritual drag — pulling threads from across Bonnie Violet’s work as a community organizer, podcaster, and chaplain.
Whether we’re talking about gender blessings, queer grief, trans joy, drag as ministry, or the awkward holiness of just being human — this is a space for honest conversation, healing possibilities, and connection that doesn’t require belief — just curiosity.
Expect episodes that dip into:
- ✨ Stories from LGBTQ2SIA+ folks healing from and reimagining spiritual life
- 🎭 Sacred drag performances and reflections
- 🧘♀️ Queer recovery, rituals, and rites of passage
- 🎤 Highlights from Bonnie’s many projects like Trans Joy Boise, Drag & Spirituality, Cut & Uncut, and more
- 💒 Spiritual services — from weddings to memorials to drag blessings — and the radical ways we honor each other
This is your digital sanctuary — with rhinestones

Spiritual Threading Exercise Collaborating with the Universe Workshop (Clip) with Bonnie Violet, a queer chaplain
A queer-led, trauma-informed workshop on how to collaborate with the Universe/Spirit/Divine.
Many of us grew up with unhelpful or problematic ideas about "God" that took away our agency or left us feeling unworthy. Prayer was like an algorithm we were supposed to perfect.
And outside of religious institutions, if you're looking for spiritual direction, it can be difficult to know where to start or what will work for you.
This workshop is all about what it means to be a co-collaborator instead of a passive participant: in the direction of your life and your relationship with the Divine.
This isn't a workshop selling some method about how to get rich or find love. And we don't believe in easy answers to complex issues regarding suffering and injustice.
Instead, our presenters will offer their own experiences about healing from religious trauma, and cultivating spiritual practices that have helped them build meaningful relationships with Spirit and deeper self-love.
This event is sponsored by the Radical Soul newsletter which looks at spiritual movements and practices that center justice, offer healing from religious trauma, and reject white and Christian supremacy.
