Kindred Spirit is the UK’s leading guide to all things mind, body and spirit. The magazine was founded in 1987 by Richard Beaumont and Patricia Yates, following the inspiration of ‘The Harmonic Convergence’ in which thousands of spiritual seekers gathered at sacred sites throughout the world. Seeing so many different people and spiritual paths, yet sensing a common direction of deep respect for natural wisdom and a yearning for higher truth, Patricia and Richard created Kindred Spirit to offer a platform to serve such wisdom and higher truths.
November 1987
Since the very first issue published in November 1987 the magazine has featured all kinds of discoveries, whether they be in the field of spirituality or physical health and wellbeing, or revelations concerning the inner workings of the human mind. New and progressive forms of complementary healthcare such as zero balancing and holographic re-patterning appear in Kindred Spirit next to articles on angels and the latest explanation of the workings of Stonehenge. We featured ground-breaking stories such as the inner temple of Damanhur and the link between our genetic conditioning and the I-Ching, years before such news hits the mainstream publications.
Summer 2014
In summer 2014 Kindred Spirit became part of Watkins Books, London’s oldest and largest esoteric bookshop, founded in 1893 by John Watkins. While the founders have moved onto different paths and projects, the magazine keeps their wonderful vision alive. We continue to offer a variety of wisdoms, investigations and windows into the huge remit that comes under the title of MBS. In Kindred Spirit today, you’ll find tips for conscious living, wholesome recipes, meditations, folklore, spellcraft, yoga and complementary therapy reviews, and much more. We are here to put forward some of the alternatives, in line with a natural wisdom that elevates us all.
Summer 2023
In May of 2023 we moved to a new seasonal format, now publishing four issues annually and lining up perfectly with the natural cycles of the year. With this comes a new, extended length of 116 pages to share even more spiritual wisdom and tips for conscious living.
2024 and beyond
At the start of 2024 we embraced the new year, new you mentality with a brand-new website featuring expert digital contributors, and fresh new MBS content across our social media channels.
