Erotic Self-Care for Spiritual Wholeness | Breakout Session | 2025 All That I Am Conference

Content Warning: Sexual Assault, Self-harm and/or suicide, Use of non-profane clinical terms for secondary sexual characteristics. Mindfulness is the key to self-care in any aspect of our lives, and self-care is essential for a fruitful, healthy life of service to others. Even for those practicing celibacy or abstinence until marriage, erotic self-care—which does not necessarily involve sex or even the genitals—mindfully approaches the places where we connect most intimately with ourselves, with God, and (as appropriate) with others. Exploring our desires before God helps us choose the best forms of relating for us, given our unique situations, inclinations and aspirations, allowing us to participate in God’s dream for the joyous reconciliation of all things. About the Presenter: Jon Carl Lewis (he/him) is a spiritual guide helping queer and progressive Christians discern healthy sexual/relational practices and attitudes for themselves, those they love, and the communities in which they live out their gospel-shaped life. A candidate for the Master of Arts in Public Ministry at Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary, he brings theological and spiritual curiosity—as well as a geeky love of peer-reviewed science and a bit of voyeurism around the beautiful diversity, complexity, and fluidity of real people’s lived sexual/spiritual experiences—to explore healthy, justice-oriented, Jesus-centered and joyful ethical stances around sexuality, relating, and the body. 🎟 Sign up for this year's Conference at https://www.qcfconf.org/ 🔊 Be sure to follow @qchristianorg on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter! ✨ To contribute to the work of Q Christian, visit https://qchristian.org/take-action
