Affinity spaces
The Global Majority Sanctuary
Within the festival we are creating a space to hold the richness, nuance and complexity of our experiences as people of the Global Majority.
This will be a place for rest and restoration, for gathering in ritual and circle, and for sharing our hearts and voices, uncensored and unguarded, held in the knowledge that we will be heard, felt and understood.
The sanctuary will host daily heart circles, workshops, a prayer and reflection area, space for laughter and connection over shared meals, and quiet moments with a cup of herbal tea.
Children and Young People’s Space (CYP)
The Children and Young People’s Space (CYP) has resources and activities specially designed for folks at the festival who don’t yet see themselves as grown-ups.
Maybe technically that means under-18s, but anyone who wants to (re)experience their childish self is welcome to participate.
Women's space
The Women’s Space is woven into the Queer Spirit ethos through our workshop offerings, rooted in embodied presence and conscious connection to self, the wider community and nature.
We are offering eight workshops encompassing music, embodiment, movement, Tai Ji, creativity, presence, fun, joy, laughter, conscious connection and consensual platonic touch.
We also provide a drop in/hang out space between workshops, a warm and welcoming space for anyone who identifies as a woman.
The TNBI (Trans, Non-Binary and Intersex) Space
At Queer Spirit 2026 TNBI people will be represented across the entire festival, from a dedicated TNBI space and camping area to workshops, performances and collaborations woven throughout the programme.
The TNBI Dome will host workshops specifically for the TNBI community, and in the quiet moments when no sessions are taking place the dome will be a welcoming social space.
The workshops will centre around TNBI wellbeing, community-building and activism, creating space for reflection, learning and shared experience.
