Qweaver  [Village Hall & Energy Circle]

I’m a queer, non-binary, magical being. How wonderful to be able to say that out loud! Since the 90s I’ve been active in LGBTQ+ support and community-making, through groups like London Friend, Edward Carpenter Community, Radical Faeries of Albion and Loving Men +. In faeries I was part of the early visioning that helped birth Queer Spirit Festival, something that fills me with gratitude and joy as I see the festival grow and collective consciousness rising. 

I’ve run many workshops and activities in queer and festival spaces over a number of years to empower people and community.  I believe we queer people are, by nature, magical beings but, in many cases, have moved away or turned away from this understanding. For this reason I’ve become more engaged in creating rituals, ceremonies and events which seek to guide people closer to their magic. I hold magic-themed retreats as a way to step deeper into presence and connectedness.  For individuals, I offer myself as a guide, helping navigate a path to lifefullness.

I’m a poet and performer, viewing my writing as a radical act and encouragement for all to be our unique, glorious selves. I love the way spoken word helps us rebuild vital collective skills, listening, being with difference, empathy.  For those magically-tuned it won’t surprise you there is a strand of channeled writing across all my books.

When we show
our love proudly, don’t lock it up behind walls,
it’s wild enough to set the world ablaze.
Every stranger suddenly lit up
we see to be no stranger at all.
For the fear that grows in the spaces between
dies back like the weed it is as those spaces
disappear. And we are love, completely.

I’m super excited about our festival and in awe of the dedicated people making it happen. We are a work in progress, striving to be more inclusive, more diverse, more connected. We are enough. We can be more. Year by year I want to see us become more inclusive, for people of colour, people with access needs, for women, for people who are refugees and asylum-seekers, for trans and non-binary people and for all other people less represented so far.  I’m dedicating myself this year to finding practical ways for queer people who are refugees and asylum-seekers to be part of our festival.  I want to challenge myself to do more to turn love into action.
