Traplain Crystal Saiyge
I am Minister Crystal Saiyge.
I design, arrange, and provide virtual experiences, spiritual care, and inspirational talks.
Sometimes I call the talks "sermons", and sometimes I say dharma talks (Buddhism).
All talks cover multiple faiths and beliefs.
Same gist--good shit.
Cliff Notes about me and FAQ:
Background: In ministry since I was a child.
Graduated from seminary with my Master's in Theological Studies in 2017.
Served as Co-Minister & Community Organizer at The Sancutaries, DC for 3 years (a social justice& interfaith art collective.) See more.
Beliefs: I am interfaith, agnostic, and Buddhist. I preach from religions around the world. Joy and ecstasy are divine. I believe in all beings everywhere being free and that Love is god and we are all connected by that love.
Goal: I aim to strengthen the faith in what you already believe in, or help you deepen your belief in yourself, which will lead to peace. My goal is you feeling free and unburdened by anything, from religion to finances to good edges.
Ministry Offerings: Currently offerings :
Preaching and Art&Design Services
There are also Sex-Positive Member Only offerings, including a blog and invite-only femme chat. See more
Payments & Tip Jar: Regular services should be paid through the Tip Jar link and discussed prior.
Everything else is tip or barter as I believe in dana, defined in Buddhism as offering for teaching as the lessons are a gift from the heart.

#ChurchofTheBando Stuff 2024
This is a judgment free, lay your hair down space for Trap Karaoke. In 2024, we are doing a lot of my favorite version "Trap Country" so you can belt out some of that Cowboy Carter or some Party in the USA. Also any other genre is always welcome. Karaoke only has one rule-- have fun.
Also-- please be advised that this is not a space where language is policed. If you are uncomfortable with AAVE/Ebonics that is used in Black music, ie. "go crazy", "standing on bidness", "imma spazz on this track" , this would not be a comfortable space for you.
This is also a Black-centered space.
