Sacred X Transformation

Organized by: MCC Toronto — https://www.eventbrite.com/o/121836300625

INTRODUCING SACRED × TRANSFORMATION: Drag, Identity, Revelation and the Sacred

Sacred x Transformation is part of a new monthly Sunday-night series led by Rev. Junia Joplin, exploring the intersections of spirituality with four dimensions of queer experience:

� POLYAMORY

� KINK

� DRAG

� RAVE CULTURE

Each evening will bring queer experience and spirituality into conversation - and ask what they might have to teach one another. What happens when we look for the sacred in the places queer people love, thrive, create, and gather?

Joining Rev. June will be special guests King Julez, St. John Boy and Goldie Luxemburg.

Together, we'll question what's sacred, what's serious, and who we get to be? Join us for an evening that gleefully troubles all three! Come curious. Bring your questions.

Julian / King Julez (@king._.julez) is a drag clown, registered psychotherapist (qualifying), and United Church ministry candidate. A former co-director of Toronto’s 2024 Drag and Spirituality Summit, they continue to explore ways of bringing drag and spiritual work together.

St. John Boy (@st.john.boy) is a drag king and gender bender born of Catholic queer angst and good ol’ fashioned crip madness. A political jester who enjoys wearing many hats, Johnny brings mischief, humour, and irreverence wherever he goes.

Goldie Luxemburg (@goldieluxemburg) is part torch singer, part rabble-rouser, and part living historian of early burlesque—the Revenge of the Red Hot Mamas. Created by Hamilton-based community worker and performer Emily Zimmerman, Goldie brings the songs and stories of working-class Jewish immigrant women to life.
