Glastonbury is probably the most spiritually diverse town in the UK, it is steeped in myths, legends, and spiritual mystique. According to estimates it attracts over 100,000 tourists and spiritual pilgrims every year, and many of the permanent residents of Glastonbury are committed to spiritual exploration. As a postdoctoral research fellow Kat Ford moved to Glastonbury to try and gain a better understanding of modern spirituality, of how ideas spread and change, of what attracts people to alternative spiritual paths, and the enduring spiritual allure of Glastonbury itself. As an atheist and long term member of the UK Skeptical community, what did Kat learn when she spent 18 months as a professional people watcher and vibe checker in the centre of modern British spirituality.

Dr Kat Ford is a postdoctoral research fellow at Brunel University London, currently working on the Spirits and Sources project which explores alternative spiritual beliefs in Glastonbury UK. She gained her PhD in Psychology from the Centre for Culture and Evolution and Brunel University where she looked at the relationship between religious cognition and optimism.
