Speaking Engagements/Workshop Presentations

I am very excited about my most recent book, Carnal Knowledge of God: Embodied Love and the Movement for Justice. If you would like to engage me for a Keynote Presentation, a workshop, a book event, a retreat or other event on the topic of embodiment, organizing and movement-building that is rooted in healthy bodies and relationships or other topics around religiously-rooted Body Justice, please contact me through the contact form or email me at RMMVoelkel@aol.com.

If you'd like to get a copy of the book to get a better understanding of my work, it is available through Fortress Press here:  fortresspress.com/product/carnal-knowledge-god-embodied-love-and-movement-justice

Pastoral Services

At the heart of my pastoral ministry is my belief that our relationship with God- as individuals and communities- transforms our lives and the world.  My desire is always to seek "praxis" which is about finding the sweet spot between deep listening, wise Sabbath practice and bold and prophetic action.  My recent pastoral experience includes:
            Serving as Sabbatical Coordinating Pastor at Lyndale United Church of Christ
            Preaching and Presiding in numerous worship services
            Preparing and Presiding at numerous weddings for LGBTQ and straight couples

If you are interested in hiring me for my pastoral services, either complete the contact form below or reach
