20 years of the Queer Spirit Circle

The first Queer Spirit Circle met in early 2005 in Stockwell, south London, in the group room of a squatted Victorian hospital - the Ann Mccall Maternity Hospital, occupied at the time by an artist's collective, who held open days and events that the local community loved. I led the circle along with lesbian friend Ana, with the intention set for it to be a space for spiritual queers to meet each other and make ritual. Around 16 people came to the first circle, where we spoke about our spiritual interests and flew together on a meditative journey through the dimensions – we even felt our minds merging into the same journey. Anna brought creative ideas to each circle, we made things, we sang, we created shrines, went on shamanic journeys … and we drummed. Over time the drumming became the focus as we realised the power of rythmn and dancing at full moon – power to release stuck energy, express emotions, connect us to spirit, bringing healing, balance, well-being.
