Open to Trans People, Gender Non-Conforming People,

and Those Who Love Us.

est. summer 2020

Trans rosary circle was established as a place for trans & gender non-conforming people to explore and practice prayer in a non-sectarian community setting. Utilizing the Rosary as a guide we attempt to re-establish our access to praying. Prayer is the inherent right of all people and is not held within the jurisdiction of any religion or church. 

In this space, we inevitably revive old things that have been lost. For some, it begins with connection to grandmothers, fathers, ancestors who prayed these same prayers. The Rosary also provides an opportunity for those with catholic ancestry, or with family members who were oppressed by catholic colonization, to help transform things in their bloodline if desired.  The circle is also a container to explore of the magic of liminal people and the unique ways in which we form relationship with Spirit.

This is a group held together by and for the trans community. At this time it remains open to all people. The circle includes many others who, for one reason or another, wish to pray but cannot abide religious practices and doctrine. This includes queers, women, disabled people, poor people, and otherwise marginalized individuals as well as those who have departed from religions or been kicked out of them. People who just need a nourishing place to pray / be around others in a devotional setting.

All are welcome.

This is a public meeting that is not affiliated with any religous group, although people of many faiths pass through. Those who are not presently identifying as Trans or GNC are welcome. This is an intentional safe space for people in recovery, and any description of drugs or drug use is not permitted in the group. 

The Holy Mother has gone by many names across time and culture. For some, it is helpful to think of her as soil, or spring water, or the sea, the moon, the trees. The Earth itself, its whole body. Others refer to her by name - The Goddess, The Virgin, The Black Madonna, Our Lady Mary, Cybele, “Theotokos” (mother of God), Kali Ma, Sara La Kali, Brigid, Freya, Guadalupe, Tonāntzin, Isis, and many more. Some prefer to relate to her as an archetype of memory or feeling, that of a mother comforting us and hiding us under her blue mantle.

She is the intercessor between us and Spirit in this particular circle.

& a builder of bridges amongst people of many different backgrounds in this group.
