SoulCare in the Margins

Program Details

Are you desiring a deeper spiritual connection with God?

Do you yearn to share deeper soul connections with others who identify as LGBTQIA+?

Are you feeling alienated from the church but still find encouragement in your faith as a beloved of God?

If so, Rolling Ridge invites you to join our online drop-in group, "SoulCare in the Margins," focused on the nurture and care of LGBTQ+ persons.

"SoulCare in the Margins" is a monthly gathering of people who share mutual connection, encouragement, and insight through personal stories, generous listening, and guided spiritual contemplative practices all in a safe and confidential environment.

"SoulCare in the Margins" meets ONLINE on the second Tuesday of each month from 7:30pm-8:30pm EST.

Please register by clicking the "REGISTER NOW" button at the top of the page. You will receive login information upon registering.

This monthly gathering is made possible because of the generous donations of those who believe in our mission. Please consider making a financial gift to the Ridge so that we can continue to create safe and sacred space that connects all people, God, and creation. Thank you for your support.
