Hello! I’m Lauren Kay (they/he), a Queer, Trans Non-binary Episcopal priest. Currently located in Southern Maine, I offer a variety of services with an emphasis on serving the LGBQ+ and Trans* communities (though all are welcome here!). My overall website is a work in progress - for now find a snapshot below of what I offer. I look forward to joining you on your journey!

Services

Spiritual direction is a relational process. Together we explore your questions, challenges, and goals along your spiritual journey. While my training is primarily rooted in Christianity, I also work with other traditions and practices. Anyone is welcome to engage in spiritual direction with me regardless of their beliefs. The point is that we work together on your goals. Spiritual direction is a supplement to, not a substitute for, mental health counseling. At this time all spiritual direction meetings are online.

Though queer and queer-friendly spiritual providers are increasing, it still can be hard to trust your search for someone to do your wedding, funeral, or other liturgically based event. With me you get someone liturgically trained who also is queer and trans non-binary! I work with you to craft your desired event. In addition to weddings and funerals I can perform a variety of services such as: Pride prayer services and/or vigils, Drag Church, Name Change Ceremonies, pop-up Eucharists or prayer services (at a marathon, justice event, soccer game – you name it!), the sky’s the limit. Let’s get creative together.

Have questions about how your workplace, church, or organization can be more LGBQ+ and Trans friendly, inclusive, and/or welcoming? Does your leadership team need a 101 overview of pronouns, gender, or sexuality? Contact me for one-on-one or team consultation. Consultations happen in one-hour segments and are limited to a maximum of eight people. If you are looking for a more in-depth training, or have a larger group of people, contact me for an educational event instead (details below).

This one may speak for itself! I am available to preach at your worship services or speak at your conference or event.

Workshops and classes on a variety of topics are available for your group. Group size will be determined by the content of the workshop or class. More information on types of workshops and classes will be available when the website is further developed.
Fees for all services are on a sliding scale.
