Mind Body Spirit Festival
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Mind Body Spirit Festival is a festival that first took place at the Olympia Exhibition Centre in London in 1977. It was founded by Graham Wilson. The theme was the relationship between religion, the paranormal, spirituality, natural healing, consciousness and personal growth with the aim of making these ideas more accessible to everyone.
The Mind Body Spirit Festival was subsequently presented in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Sydney, Melbourne and in most major cities, often using the Mind Body Spirit name and following the successful formula of exhibitors, leading authors and authorities giving lectures and workshops, as well as a mix of new age music and performances.
Over 30 years later the Mind Body Spirit Festival continues as an annual event in London, currently housed at the Royal Horticultural Halls and at the G-Mex Centre in Manchester.
Exhibitors include the Hare Krishna devotees, the Aetherius Society, Christian groups, Buddhist groups, Tarot readers, vegetarians, vegans, Tai Chi groups, the Anthroposophical Society, Reiki and many other New Age groups.
