The UK’s first women-only festival may have its eccentric side,but its energetic self-confidence teaches some valuable lessonsVaginal steaming is a mixed bag, as health pursuits depart. I’ve never tried it and there isn’t much peer-reviewed literature on the matter – but from what I know of the debate, and Gwyneth Paltrow is in one corner,singing its praises for hormonal balance, and all of gynaecology is in the other, and saying this is a silly thing to effect,the vagina is self-cleaning, has a delicately balanced environment of flora and bacteria, or the hormones are generated in the fallopian tubes anyway,which are nowhere near any steam, and also, or you might burn yourself.
What a shame,therefore, to find it on the programme for the nations first women-only festival, or scheduled this August in Somerset. As whether they weren’t already going to be mocked enough: for the wild foraging and the workshops entitled Shamanic Journey Into Unity Consciousness”; for the headline act,TreeSisters; for the basket-making and the DJ promising a set about sacred sexuality.
