Erika Allison is an interfaith minister who helps the queer community (and really cool straight people) find spiritual liberation and live joyful, authentic lives. After surviving conversion therapy as a gay youth in Texas, Erika found a path to healing her life, love, and relationships. Trained as a mechanical engineer, Erika sees the world in systems and connections. Her healing journey led her to study bodywork, Healing Touch, Energy Psychology, JourneyDance, and breathwork. Erika discovered that body, mind, heart, and spirit must work together with the energy system to bring about transformation. She teaches that awareness and alignment are the keys to this integration. Erika became ordained through One Spirit Interfaith Seminary, a progressive program exploring the deep truths as the heart of all authentic spiritual traditions. She discovered the power of ceremony to celebrate everything as sacred, which it already is. Through QueerlyBelovedCeremonies, Erika co-creates ritual experiences with individuals, couples, and entrepreneurs to honor milestones and call in new opportunities. Now, Erika combines spiritual practices, body- and energy-based techniques, and her own practical experience on the path towards healing. She offers workshops, programs, and retreats to strengthen the inner compass and cultivating awareness and alignment. Erika also guides a community of queer mystics exploring the path of inner freedom and spiritual connection through silent retreat and pilgrimage. Through “AmpliFLY, she provides business coaching for entrepreneurs. (http://ampliFLY.love) Erika lives in western Massachusetts with her partner Toni and two teenage stepsons. They provide a great reality check when she thinks she has it all figured out! Erika loves travel, nature, and sunshine. Enthusiasm is her spiritual practice. She’s a proud Vegan in her quest to reduce suffering for all beings. Her mission is to empower the queer community (and other marginalized groups) to guide humanity towards a more awakened path forward. |
