NY Catholic Arts Center Cancels Planned ‘Kinky’ Improv Workshop Featuring ‘Divine Feminine Sexual Shaman’: REPORT

NEW YORK, NEW YORK - FEBRUARY 15: People react to Billy Porter's singing during the funeral of transgender community activist Cecilia Gentili at St. Patrick's Cathedral on February 15, 2024 in New York City. Gentili's funeral was the first time that St. Patrick's Cathedral held a funeral mass for a transgender person. Later the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York denounced the hosting of the funeral, saying it was unaware of the identity of the deceased when it agreed to host the service.

A Catholic Arts Center in New York has canceled a series of workshops entitled “Improv for Kinky People” after the organizers “did not disclose the nature of the event,” according to a spokesperson for the Archdiocese of New York.

Catholic media outlet The Pillar was the first to break the story on the event, which was scheduled to take place at The Sheen Center for Thought and Culture on March 4, 6 and 9. However, according to The Archdiocese of New York, the workshops were canceled before the original report went to press, and the Eventbrite page that was selling tickets for them has since been taken down, a spokesperson for the Archdiocese told the outlet.

The event was reportedly organized by Canadian-based Dominatrix “Mistress Diamondblu,” who describes herself as a “Divine Feminine Sexual Shaman,” and was set to feature a series of explicit kink-themed classes she describes on her website as, “a three-day Introspective Spiritual Intensive The focus of this hands-on experience is to open up to your full potential, both as an individual and as part of a community. You will learn how to connect with others from a place of deep compassion and empathy. This intensive will teach you to create safe containers and connect with others without an agenda.” (RELATED: Louisiana Priest Arrested After Alleged Threesome On Church Altar)

The archdiocese claims it was initially unaware of the workshops and would be “looking into them,” according to The Pillar. Although the highly sexualized show was swiftly canceled, the canceled event comes just weeks after the New York Catholic church was heavily criticized for hosting a funeral for LGBTQ activist Cecilia Gentili at St. Patrick’s Cathedral.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
