This show is resting!
*******************
The Spirit Lounge provides a space to explore the integration of spirituality and sexuality. Guests from the GLBTIQ community representing various religious and faith based organisations join us each week to share about their experience.
The Spirit Lounge is a relaxed, fun and informal space, where the discussion flows freely, accompanied with some great tunes. We hope you join us in the lounge every Thursday at 8pm.
The Spirit Lounge is taking a break until November. For our final show before the break, Rachel, Claudine and Mark played clips from some our favourites of the last year.
