The Queer Spirit Festival in the heart of Devon has now taken place for 2024, and the organisers, the Queer Spirit Festival invite constructive feedback from any one who was there. But they have much more to which to introduce us, as they publicise events for spiritually conscious and LGBTQIA people across the UK. Rach Cox, facilitator of the Chakra Rave at QS2023, would like to let you know about a very special festival that she is part of organising - the Om & Bass Festival in Oxfordshire. "When I (Rach…the sparkly unicorn) started Om & Bass back in 2013 there weren’t ‘wellbeing’ festivals. There were only let’s-damage-our-liver festivals. I was doing yoga retreats and thinking how expensive they were – only a few people can go on them. I really love festivals and just had one of those eureka moments: ‘I could have a yoga festival where people can choose their classes, do what they like when they like, and camp over.’ For the first one 100 people came, the next one 250, then 500, now we’re at over 1,000. The community continues to grow and get more diverse every time – we’ve got a huge LGBTQ+ crowd, and loads of different ages, races and backgrounds come every year because of how diverse we’ve made our line up."
