Drag & Spirituality Summit

The Drag & Spirituality Summit is in its third year and is the first-of-its-kind gathering at the intersections of drag and spirituality. Join drag performers and faith leaders from around the globe for a stunning and sacred three-day summit. Feed the spirit and celebrate the body with powerful panel discussions, inspiring practitioner presentations, and—of course—fierce and fabulous performances. The Centre for Religion and Its Contexts is the proud host and co-sponsor of this year’s Summit.

All spiritual experiences and drag expressions are invited and celebrated in person and virtually. Drag artists, spiritual care practitioners, lovers of drag, and folks wanting to learn more will congregate from around the globe with keynotes, panel discussions, workshops, spiritual drag shows, and a spiritual drag event for children of all ages and their families.

Included in the summit will be our evening Spiritual Drag Show on Saturday, Nov. 2 to raise funds for a new scholarship for queer students at Emmanuel College. Our College is an interfaith, interspiritual theological school that provides training for students who are Christian, Muslim, Buddhist and other traditions to become spiritual care providers, counsellors, psycho-spiritual therapists, chaplains, ordained ministers, musicians, academics, researchers and more. This scholarship will enable queer students to study at Emmanuel College by lessening the financial burden of continuing their education.
