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.
