Dirty Dogma Monday, August 10th, 2026 6:30PM-8:30PM Free

Monday, August 10th, Dirty Dogma returns to Greenwood Social Hall — continuing a series of conversations rooted in curiosity, compassion, and the courage to think beyond rigid, inherited frameworks. These gatherings invite theologians, practitioners, and seekers who center love as the grounding force, even as they question, unravel, and reimagine the systems they came from.

This is not a space for persuasion. There is no intention to convert. No one is here to win.

Instead, this is an open dialogue — a rare, neutral forum to explore something deeply human: spirituality. Not as doctrine, but as lived experience. As something that evolves. As something that belongs to all of us, regardless of where we land.

At Greenwood Social Hall — a sanctuary in drag — we gather to hold that tension together.

This month’s guest, Tori Owens, brings a deeply grounded, relational approach to the conversation. As a therapist, spiritual director, and mediator, Tori’s work lives at the intersection of healing, presence, and repair. She holds space for people navigating conflict, transformation, and the quiet, often unseen work of becoming.

Her perspective invites us to consider spirituality not as something to define or defend, but as something to practice — in how we listen, how we hold one another, and how we move through rupture toward understanding. It is a way of engaging the sacred that prioritizes care over certainty, and relationship over control.

An interpretation of this gathering: Dirty Dogma is about loosening the grip of inherited certainty without discarding the instinct to seek meaning. It’s about what happens after deconstruction — when the dust settles and something quieter, more spacious begins to emerge. Not a new system to replace the old, but a practice of staying open. Of letting love — not fear, not rigidity — be the orienting force.

Expect conversation that is honest, layered, and unfinished. Expect to hear something that resonates — and something that challenges you. Expect to leave with more questions than answers.

Hosted by Pastor Fred Herron, whose work creates space for exactly this kind of expansive dialogue. Through his podcast Spirituality Adventures, Fred engages voices across traditions and perspectives, inviting listeners into thoughtful, nuanced explorations of belief, doubt, and connection.

Join us for drinks, dialogue, and the kind of conversation that doesn’t ask you to be finished — only present. Bring a friend. Bring your questions.

Greenwood Social Hall is located on the second floor of a historical building and is only accessible via a set of exterior concrete stairs.
