Tamice's Offerings

Whether you’re seeking spiritual grounding, creative tools for transformation, or liberative learning spaces, I offer a range of portals into this work. Each one is designed to disrupt diseased imagination, reawaken self-trust, and hold space for your deepest becoming.

These offerings are an extension of the vision in Faith Unleavened—my book and embodied manifesto for those disentangling from empire, certainty, and shame-based religion. If that story resonated with you, these services pick up where the last page leaves off. Together, they offer real-time practices, conversations, and tools for healing, reclamation, and reimagining the sacred on your own terms.

Speaking & Facilitation

From keynotes to immersive workshops, rooted in womanist thought, spiritual fugitivity, and the healing power of story. Tamice brings invigorating voice, vision, and vulnerability.

 Spiritual Direction

Come as you are. These one-on-one sessions are a sacred pause—where we listen to your life, tend your spirit, and hold the complexity of your unfolding. 

Mixtape Curation

Need a custom learning experience, retreat, or curriculum rooted in liberation and creativity? Mixtape Praxus builds place-based, trauma-informed frameworks that remix theology, culture, and social imagination. 

Substack Community

A living archive of reflections, essays, and resonant questions. I write for the wanderers and wisdom-seekers—for those who are unlearning empire and reimagining the sacred. Subscribe for soul-stirring content delivered with love.

God is not a weapon.  Authenticity is not a phase.

Meet  Dr. Tamice Spencer-Helms (they/she). Tamice is a nonprofit leader, scholar-practitioner, pastor, and theoactivist based in Richmond, Virginia. For decades, Tamice has been guided by a singular purpose: to confront and heal what they call “diseased imagination”—the spiritual and social dis-ease that stifles agency, creativity, and collective flourishing. As a pastor for spiritual fugitives,  Tamice grounds their work at the intersection of social transformation, soulful leadership, womanist and queer liberation theologies, and cultural critique.

A recognized voice in theoactivism, Tamice’s work bridges the intellectual and the embodied, infusing rigorous scholarship with lived experience and spiritual practice. They hold two master’s degrees (theology and leadership) and a doctorate in Social Transformation. Their frameworks, such as R.E.S.T. Mixtape and Soulful Leadership, research and evidence-based interventions that invite others into courageous truth-telling, radical belonging, and the kind of liberating leadership our times demand.

Whether facilitating retreats, speaking from the stage, consulting for organizations, or curating digital sanctuaries, Tamice’s presence is both refuge and revolution. Their commitment is to help individuals and communities heal, reimagine, and build spaces where every person is seen, known, and liberated—where diseased imagination gives way to new possibilities.

On Substack, I explore the truth and the treasure in what the church calls trash.

 

I write for the ones sifting through the rubble of religion, the seekers haunted by holiness, the post-evangelicals, the wounded theologians, the sacred exiles. I write for those who can’t unknow what they know.

 

Each post is a mixtape of memory, theology, history, and cultural clarity — meant to help you name what’s real, reclaim your story, and build something more beautiful than what broke you.

Stay in the know.

    Dreams play an important role in the biblical narrative. It is often through dreams that God speaks to God’s beloved. Sometimes it is a promise. Sometimes it is a warning. Always it is a reminder that we are not alone; God sees us and is with us.
