Sapphic and Spiritual

Sapphic and Spiritual

Sapphic and Spiritual explores the intersection between queerness and spirituality. Hosted by Karly Philips, Sapphic and Spiritual was created from the notion that being queer is an inherently spiritual path. Like all spiritual paths, embracing our queerness takes us on a journey of self-discovery, leading us to wholeness and discovering the magic within. Through intimate conversations and thought-provoking discussions, we navigate the complexities of identity, belonging, and personal growth within the LGBTQ+ community through a spiritual lens. From reclaiming sacred spaces to honoring diverse spiritual practices, Sapphic and Spiritual offers a space for listeners to explore the richness of their own experiences and beliefs. As a neurodivergent lesbian, mystic, writer, psychic, and social worker, Karly vulnerably weaves together her lived experiences with spiritual insights to uplight and inspire the awakening of others to their own magic.

I’ve been away from the podcast for a while, reflecting, creating, healing, and reshaping what this space might become.

A new format is on the horizon, but for now, I offer this spell.

It was spoken in devotion to all who are resisting, marching for justice, holding grief, and refusing to be silenced.

May it cloak us in courage. May it remind us we are not alone. May it protect all who stand for liberation.

Standing in love and solidar...
