Rev. Lorren Z. Buck

Rev. Lorren Z. Buck is a sexual liberation theologian whose healing activism reflects her bold sentiments that the Creator desires people to experience pleasure and healing from the legacy of sexual violence and theological malpractice.  She is blurring the lines between the profane and sacred under the moniker The Pussy Pastor. This to her is a holy act of resistance.

Lorren has a background in church leadership, sexual health education and executive non-profit management. She has over 15 years of experience in group facilitation, social justice education and curriculum writing.  Both Lorren’s profession and passions led her to consider the effects of gender oppression on female sexuality within faith communities.

Lorren earned her master’s degree in divinity from Eden Theological Seminary where she examined ways black women can reclaim their bodies as sacred by uniting their spiritual knowing with their erotic power. Lorren is a certified sexologist, trained in Authentic Tantra, a lineage-based practice that uses Tibetan 5 Element practices, Daoist sexual yoga, somatic sexual healing to bridge the divide between the spiritual and sexual.

Pastor Lorren is also a certified pole instructor, Tantrika and consultant who leads healing retreats across the country. She is living out her pastoral call as a spiritual entrepreneur through her LLC, The Theological Institute for Sexology. There she supports seekers on a pilgrimage towards self-acceptance, sexual exploration and spiritual discovery.
