May's Radical Faerie - Queer Spirit Drum Circle will be different! We are going on a transcendental sound journey, performed and facilitated by Faerie Mystic. We arrive in this world with our first inhale and we depart with our last exhale. The Breath is an inevitable and often unconscious part of our life.
The Faerie Mystic project combines acoustic and electronic musical expression along with Shamanic and Eastern spiritual practice. Classical woodwinds along with different ethnic instruments such as didgeridoo, Jewish harp and Tibetan singing bowls create an ambient, tribal sound inspired by the indigenous music of Eastern and Western Europe as well as central Asia. Adding live loops, electronic effects and even Mongolian overtone singing centuries of culture are incorporated into the experience.
Recommended to bring along a yoga mat/blanket/cushion – the evening will involve meditation as well as movement, and will end with drumming and dancing.
Suggested donation £10/£5 concession/NOTAFLOF* – pay cash on the door or in advance via paypal to https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/shokti

It feels as if my attendance at the 2023 Queer Spirit festival, as a steward, was the final piece in a very large jigsaw puzzle that I have been working on for many, many years now. From my early teens, I knew that there was something a little queer about me, but a combination of fear and shame made me look the other way, imagining that if I did so, for long enough, these strange and sometimes distressing feelings would all go away.
