Deanna Sophia Danger (they/them) is a Certified Insight Meditation Teacher & Mentor, queer Dharma practitioner, social impact organizer, retired professional performance artist, and WEAVER. Deanna’s approach to the Dharma finds ground within the intersection of spirituality and social impact. In their full time work, they are the Systems Change & Healing Justice Facilitator for the St. Louis Queer+ Support & Helpline (SQSH), where they are also a member of the STARLING Somatic Healers Collective. Deanna supports the St. Louis community as the facilitator of “STL QUEER SANGHA: You Can Sit With Us,” a monthly, inclusive Insight meditation group and community gathering for all LGBTQIA+ folks and co-conspirators, cultivating a path of Spiritual Solidarity, and an Advisory Circle Member at Empowered Spaces, a trauma-aware, holistic, healing collective. Deanna is accredited to teach Insight meditation through The Awareness Training Institute and the Greater Good Science Center of the University of California at Berkeley, and accredited as a Mindfulness Mentor through Banyan (formerly Cloud Sangha). Deanna’s guiding teachers are internationally recognized authors, Theravada Buddhist meditation teachers, and psychologists, Tara Brach and Jack Kornfield. Through an accessible, relatable, creatively expressive and engaged praxis of Spiritual Solidarity, Deanna is motivated by co-cultivating embodiment of liberation at the cellular and global levels. As a working class, queer, nonbinary, neurodiverse & chronically ill, IPV + trauma survivor, and former sex worker Deanna is passionate about weaving webs of support that take interdependence from transactional to reciprocal. Suitable for all experience levels & identities, Deanna’s interactive support meets you where you are. Their facilitation offers an intrinsically anti-oppressive, trauma-aware and neurocognitive-aware foundation supporting you to hone your self-agency, dissolve shame & self-blame, move from dissociation to embodiment, and increase your access to joy, pleasure and felt-sense belonging.
