SUMMARY:The Clearing: A Place for Black Queer Spiritual Discovery and Exploration
DESCRIPTION:Where do Black Queer people go to explore God\, spirituality\, and the sacred when traditional religious spaces have not always made room for the fullness of who we are? \nScarritt Bennett Center’s Racial Justice Ministries\, in partnership with MashUp Nashville\, presents The Clearing\, a monthly spiritual gathering created for and centered on Black Queer people. \nThe Clearing offers Black Queer people intentional space outside of traditional religious structures to encounter the Divine\, explore our relationships to and with God\, ask questions\, wrestle with faith\, and discover spiritual practices and wisdom that honor the fullness of our identities and lived experiences. \nFor generations\, Black people have encountered the Divine far beyond the walls of churches and traditional religious institutions—in literature and music\, around kitchen tables\, through movement and storytelling\, in nature\, through ancestral wisdom\, and in community. Black Queer people are part of that sacred tradition. The Clearing draws upon that inheritance while making room for the particular experiences\, questions\, wisdom\, creativity\, and spiritual lives of Black Queer people. \nEach month\, we will gather around a selected work of mass media—literature\, film\, television\, music\, visual art\, and other cultural texts—and use it as a doorway into deeper conversations about God\, spirituality\, identity\, liberation\, healing\, embodiment\, love\, and wholeness. Rather than beginning with doctrine or asking participants to conform to a particular religious tradition\, we begin with Black Queer lives and experiences and explore what they reveal about the sacred. \nOur First Clearing: Toni Morrison’s Beloved \nOn Monday\, September 21\, we begin with Toni Morrison’s Beloved and “The Sermon in the Clearing\,” the powerful passage in which Baby Suggs calls Black people to love their flesh—their hands\, mouths\, hearts\, bodies\, and very selves. \nTogether\, we will consider what Morrison’s words offer Black Queer people seeking to reclaim our bodies\, nurture our spirits\, practice radical self-love\, pursue wholeness\, and deepen our relationships with the Divine. \nThe Clearing is for Black Queer people. You do not need to belong to a church\, practice a particular religion\, have certainty about what you believe\, or even know exactly what you believe about God. Bring your questions\, your experiences\, your curiosity\, and your whole self. \nMonday\, September 21\, 2026 | 6:00–7:30 p.m.\nScarritt Bennett Center\n1027 18th Avenue South\, Nashville\nLight fare and childcare provided. \nRegister for The Clearing

SUMMARY:Everyone Begotten\, Everything Holy: Poetry Event Featuring Dana Malone
DESCRIPTION:Join us in the Historic Wightman Chapel on the campus of Scarritt Bennett Center in Nashville\, TN.\nDoors open at 6pm.Poetry event starts at 6:30pm.\nRSVP so that we are prepared with appropriate refreshment and have books available for purchase.\n\nAbout the Featured Poetry Book:Everyone Begotten\, Everything Holy braids stories of those who often fade from consideration–the background singers and silenced voices among us. It notes the external vulnerability and inner turmoil in every human being\, while it celebrates the ordinary and the joyful ways we move through our communities and lives. The collection reflects the poet’s musical studies and decades-long career in journalism and speech writing in work that weaves themes of music and composition\, health impediments like Parkinson’s disease and addiction\, a sense of place and lack of belonging\, theology and religiosity\, and violence and war. The collection invites readers to consider\, “In what ways are we/am I successful\, complicit\, doubtful\, curious or troubled in spaces that seem to qualify the invitation ‘Come as you are’?”\n\nAuthor Bio:Dana Malone drew upon the experiences of her musical studies and her journalism and speechwriting career to create the poems in Everyone Begotten\, Everything Holy. She has featured in readings and performances locally\, regionally\, nationally and internationally\, including regular presentations at Scarritt-Bennett Center. Recently\, Dana facilitated expressive writing workshops for The Porch Writers Collective and coordinated the organization’s Poetry on Demand project. Among her notable recent publications are an episode of the NPR-sponsored podcast\, Versify and a poem wrapped on a Nashville WeGo bus. She also is the author of Mother. Grave. Ghost. (Finishing Line Press\, 2022).

SUMMARY:The Clearing: A Place for Black Queer Spiritual Discovery and Exploration
DESCRIPTION:Where do Black Queer people go to explore God\, spirituality\, and the sacred when traditional religious spaces have not always made room for the fullness of who we are? \nScarritt Bennett Center’s Racial Justice Ministries\, in partnership with MashUp Nashville\, presents The Clearing\, a monthly spiritual gathering created for and centered on Black Queer people. \nThe Clearing offers Black Queer people intentional space outside of traditional religious structures to encounter the Divine\, explore our relationships to and with God\, ask questions\, wrestle with faith\, and discover spiritual practices and wisdom that honor the fullness of our identities and lived experiences. \nFor generations\, Black people have encountered the Divine far beyond the walls of churches and traditional religious institutions—in literature and music\, around kitchen tables\, through movement and storytelling\, in nature\, through ancestral wisdom\, and in community. Black Queer people are part of that sacred tradition. The Clearing draws upon that inheritance while making room for the particular experiences\, questions\, wisdom\, creativity\, and spiritual lives of Black Queer people. \nEach month\, we will gather around a selected work of mass media—literature\, film\, television\, music\, visual art\, and other cultural texts—and use it as a doorway into deeper conversations about God\, spirituality\, identity\, liberation\, healing\, embodiment\, love\, and wholeness. Rather than beginning with doctrine or asking participants to conform to a particular religious tradition\, we begin with Black Queer lives and experiences and explore what they reveal about the sacred. \nOur First Clearing: Toni Morrison’s Beloved \nOn Monday\, September 21\, we begin with Toni Morrison’s Beloved and “The Sermon in the Clearing\,” the powerful passage in which Baby Suggs calls Black people to love their flesh—their hands\, mouths\, hearts\, bodies\, and very selves. \nTogether\, we will consider what Morrison’s words offer Black Queer people seeking to reclaim our bodies\, nurture our spirits\, practice radical self-love\, pursue wholeness\, and deepen our relationships with the Divine. \nThe Clearing is for Black Queer people. You do not need to belong to a church\, practice a particular religion\, have certainty about what you believe\, or even know exactly what you believe about God. Bring your questions\, your experiences\, your curiosity\, and your whole self. \nMonday\, September 21\, 2026 | 6:00–7:30 p.m.\nScarritt Bennett Center\n1027 18th Avenue South\, Nashville\nLight fare and childcare provided. \nRegister for The Clearing

SUMMARY:The Clearing: A Place for Black Queer Spiritual Discovery and Exploration
DESCRIPTION:Where do Black Queer people go to explore God\, spirituality\, and the sacred when traditional religious spaces have not always made room for the fullness of who we are? \nScarritt Bennett Center’s Racial Justice Ministries\, in partnership with MashUp Nashville\, presents The Clearing\, a monthly spiritual gathering created for and centered on Black Queer people. \nThe Clearing offers Black Queer people intentional space outside of traditional religious structures to encounter the Divine\, explore our relationships to and with God\, ask questions\, wrestle with faith\, and discover spiritual practices and wisdom that honor the fullness of our identities and lived experiences. \nFor generations\, Black people have encountered the Divine far beyond the walls of churches and traditional religious institutions—in literature and music\, around kitchen tables\, through movement and storytelling\, in nature\, through ancestral wisdom\, and in community. Black Queer people are part of that sacred tradition. The Clearing draws upon that inheritance while making room for the particular experiences\, questions\, wisdom\, creativity\, and spiritual lives of Black Queer people. \nEach month\, we will gather around a selected work of mass media—literature\, film\, television\, music\, visual art\, and other cultural texts—and use it as a doorway into deeper conversations about God\, spirituality\, identity\, liberation\, healing\, embodiment\, love\, and wholeness. Rather than beginning with doctrine or asking participants to conform to a particular religious tradition\, we begin with Black Queer lives and experiences and explore what they reveal about the sacred. \nOur First Clearing: Toni Morrison’s Beloved \nOn Monday\, September 21\, we begin with Toni Morrison’s Beloved and “The Sermon in the Clearing\,” the powerful passage in which Baby Suggs calls Black people to love their flesh—their hands\, mouths\, hearts\, bodies\, and very selves. \nTogether\, we will consider what Morrison’s words offer Black Queer people seeking to reclaim our bodies\, nurture our spirits\, practice radical self-love\, pursue wholeness\, and deepen our relationships with the Divine. \nThe Clearing is for Black Queer people. You do not need to belong to a church\, practice a particular religion\, have certainty about what you believe\, or even know exactly what you believe about God. Bring your questions\, your experiences\, your curiosity\, and your whole self. \nMonday\, September 21\, 2026 | 6:00–7:30 p.m.\nScarritt Bennett Center\n1027 18th Avenue South\, Nashville\nLight fare and childcare provided. \nRegister for The Clearing
