Queerly Beloveds,Let us gather in our glorious queerness for a Queer Magic Medicine Show — a spiritual open mic and pancake breakfast celebrating the living, the dead, and the mysterious threads of love, memory, and magic that weave us together.
This season's theme: 💀 Dancing with the Ancestors! 💃
Who are the ancestors we carry in our bones, our stories, our songs, and our queer lineages? Whose dreams do we inherit? Whose wounds are we healing? Whose wild and beautiful spirits dance through us still?
Bring your grief, gratitude, irreverence, and joy. Let us remember, honor, invoke, and celebrate those who came before us — and the ancestors we are becoming.
🕯️ When & Where
Sunday, November 1 • 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM
📍 The Backdoor Theater
4319 SE Hawthorne Blvd, Portland, OR
(Enter through the side door, or through Common Grounds Coffeehouse to the back entrance.)
🎤 What to Expect
Bring your songs, prayers, dances, poems, stories, meditations, sermons, spells, ancestral invocations, or simply your sacred presence.
This is an open mic for the spirit — a space for radical authenticity, holy mischief, heartfelt expression, and communion across the generations.
