Brian - Belonging, Grief, and Queer Ritual

In this episode, Vance chats with Brian G. Murphy, author of Love Beyond Monogamy, for a conversation about ritual, community, and the ways we create meaning in our lives. Together, they explore how experiences like yoga, music, and gathering with friends can become modern spiritual practices — the places where we process loss, celebrate connection, and remember who we are. Brian also reflects on the deep cultural significance of places like Fire Island, and how queer spaces have long held grief, joy, friendship, and history all at once. This episode is a thoughtful conversation about queer community, chosen rituals, and the ways we find belonging through shared experience.
