We're Here, We're Queer, We're Cosmic..

Throughout history and across the globe queerness has been associated with magic, divination, ritual, spirit. The modern LGBTQ+ liberation movement hasn't addressed this, but at Queer Spirit Festival hundreds of queers gather to reclaim and explore this part of our story and nature...
To be 'cosmic' – from the ancient Greek kosmos – a word used by Pythagorus to refer to the order of the Universe – is to be part of Nature, connected to rhythms and patterns of the planet, the solar system and the stars – it is to know and feel ourselves connected to the Earth and the field of Oneness, to the eternal existence of Spirit.
We're Here, We're Queer, We're Cosmic celebrates that
HERE BE QUEERS WHO ARE
REMEMBERING AND RECLAIMING
OUR NATURAL ROLES
AS CONNECTORS OF THE MATERIAL REALMS
AND THE SUBTLE LEVELS OF CONSCIOUSNESS/SPIRIT
My own discovery and awakening to Spirit came aged 30 while sick with AIDS, my Accelerated Individual Discovery of Self: I am excited about the 10 year anniversary of Queer Spirit Festival because I believe many queers are already aware of or waking up to our nature as soul healers, ritual magicians, divinatory artists, builders of community between humans, nature and spirit - and at Queer Spirit we have a place to find each other.
As I surrendered myself to expected death from AIDS, the cosmos came alive for me, and I believe the cosmos calls to all queers to know that Self-Realisation is the best game in town! The world is waiting for the rainbow people to embrace the spiritual element of our history and nature!
