Spirit, Sex & Art with Gregory Foster

Gregory Foster has had a life long dedication to the exploration of queer men's spiritual and sexual well-being. He has studied Reiki, Healing Touch and Holistic Nutrition and has blended his interests in art, sexuality and spirituality into a self published magazine called "The Holy Male" where he curates the work of queer, gay, bi and trans male identified people into the quarterly publication. Gregory has spoken at universities in Canada about his past experiences as a sex worker, shame, vulnerability and the role our sexuality can have in our spiritual healing and cultivation of self love. A self identified "polymath" or "multipotentalite," he is currently working on his latest project 'Folk + Foster', which is an online store and brand that is dedicated to bringing his multiple projects and personal vision to the public. Gregory currently resides on Salt Spring Island.
