   House of the Lorde  is a spiritual HOme Rooted in Black Feminist Practice.
 

​

We Believe   bringing our full selves liberates everyone in the room. 

 

We Believe  in the joy of laughter, luxuriating, and tending to our pleasure.

 

We Believe in STUDYING the sacred work of Black feminist poets, thinkers, and artists.

 

We Believe  our erotic guides us toward celebrating our truest form, and our differences.

 

We Believe in unleashing our imaginations to forge new worlds that can hold our freedom.

 

We Believe   everything we need is within us.

“The erotic is a resource within each of us that lies in a deeply female and spiritual plane, firmly rooted in the power of our unexpressed or unrecognized feeling.
