Queer Spirit Warriors Retreat

NOT IN LONDON, instead at the Asha Centre in the Forest of Dean, your queerspiritlondon organiser Shokti is offering a retreat exploring the magic and power of being a Queer Spirit Warrior... A FEW SPACES STILL AVAILABLE... SLIDING SCALE OF PAYMENTS... BOOK AT Queer Spirit Warrior 30th May -2nd June 2025

We meet under a Leo Moon to affirm our queer roles in the world as healers, ritual gatekeepers and walkers between the worlds. We will look at the global history, and honour the memory, of queer shamans and priests in service to spirit and explore what this inheritance means for us in the world today, hear myths that teach us about the spiritual powers of queer nature, plus share our own stories of growth and revelation as we attune to the rainbow bridge between matter and spirit.
We intend to make the fire circle at the Asha the focus of evening ritual activities, and we will also walk the labyrinth, dip in sacred spring water, and have plenty of time to relax in the beautiful atmosphere of the Asha Centre in the Forest of Dean.

The global teachings we will be looking at include this from Sobonfu Some of the Dagara people of West Africa, published in her book The Spirit of Intimacy:
“The life of gay people in the West is in many ways a reaction to pressure from a society that rejects them. This is partly because a culture that has forgotten so much about itself will displace certain groups of people, such as the gay community, from their true roles... Gays and lesbians in the West are often very spiritual, but they have been taken away from their connection with spirit... The words gay and lesbian do not exist in the village, but there is the word gatekeeper. Gatekeepers are people who live a life at the edge between the worlds – the world of the village and the world of spirit.”

Calling Queer Spirit Warriors! Come play and speak and dance with Spirit! Come build a Rainbow Bridge between the material and the spirit realms!
