India was 21, and dancing without a care in the world at a festival in Nepal when she suddenly felt her water break. That was the moment she realized she was pregnant—and about to have a baby! What followed, in one of the most incredible birth stories I have ever heard, was a four-day labor, supported by her Rainbow Gathering community, in a remote village in Nepal.

Nancy Santomero and Vicki Durian hitchhiked from Arizona to West Virginia in the summer of 1980. They planned to attend the Rainbow Gathering, an annual event where like-minded, free spirits could peacefully gather and celebrate. Just before they arrived, someone killed them. The murder remains unsolved, and the question remains: Were the women killed by West Virginian locals, as law enforcement believed? Or were they victims of serial killer Joseph Paul Franklin?

Two women: Vicki Durian and Nancy Santomero were hitchhiking to the Rainbow Gathering in 1980. The Rainbow Gathering was a world-peace festival meant to celebrate love, harmony and freedom held in Pocahontas County. The two women, however, would never make it there alive. Their murders would result in eight different suspects, an admission, a wrongful conviction lawsuit, and even the survivor's guilt of a close friend. Julia and Harper discuss the case of the Pocahontas County Rainbow Murders.

Představí nám Rainbow Gathering; neustále se přesunující setkání mírumilovných hipíků z celéh světa. Jedná se o obrovské půl století staré společenství čítající desítky tisíc lidí, jehož pravidla vznikají spontánně odspoda – bez žádné centrální autority – a to konsensuálně, což se může na první pohled jevit pro tak velkou komunitu jako nemožné – přesto v praxi fungující – řešení. Komunita má vlastní sociální systém, péči o potřebné, takže se musí „vypořádávat“ s černými pasažéry a spoustou dalších ekonomických jevů; dlouhodobá existence takového hnutí nás může v mnohém inspirovat.

In the summer of 1980, nineteen-year-old Nancy Santomero, and two friends, twenty-six-year-old Vicki Durian and nineteen-year-old Liz Johndrow, left Durian's parents' home in Iowa to hitchhike to West Virginia to attend a gathering of the Rainbow Family. Five days later, Santomero and Durian's bodies were discovered in the woods in West Virginia, shot to death just hours before being found, and Johndrow was nowhere to be seen.More than a decade after their bodies were discovered, police in West Virginia had identified several suspects and eventually charged thirty-four-year-old farmer Jacob Beard, who was convicted in 1993 and sentenced to life in prison. Upon appeal, however, it was revealed that the investigation into Beard was rife with dubious circumstantial evidence, police misconduct, and perjury, which led to a new trial and Beard was exonerated.

Vicki Durian and Nancy Santomero were shot to death on June 25, 1980 in Pocahontas County, West Virginia. They had been hitchhiking their way to the Rainbow Gathering, a temporary community in the woods that aims to bring together everyone from hipsters and hippies to show that we can all live in peace if we reform our society. That the women would meet such a violent end on their way to such a hopeful spot makes their story all the more tragic. But they weren't they only victims in this sad story   Welcome to another episode of The Unlovely Truth. I'm your host, private investigator Lori Morrison. Join me for another captivating true crime story, where physical, spiritual, and emotional safety takeaways are waiting for us. If you are listening, I believe you have a unique calling—to become a different kind of PI, not a typical private investigator, but a person of impact!   Let's talk about Matthew 9:35–36 to find ways to do just that.   Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness. When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.   Have you seen anyone else who did this? Any politicians? Any social media influencers? And if we are really honest, do we see our churches leave the building to find those who need us? If your church does, that's awesome - keep it up! If not, ask your leadership why not and if you can help start an outreach ministry to serve people who might not feel welcome in a church. Maybe that's a bible study in your local jail, taking bottled water and food to a homeless encampment, or helping out foster kids in your community. Have compassion like Jesus did and help shepherd his sheep.   Let me know what you think! Send me an email a lori@theunlovelytruth.com or message me on social media. I love it when people are willing to have those hard, but impactful conversations!   Please visit my website to access more episodes, read my blog posts, or check out ways you can financially support the podcast so that together we can impact more people, more families, and more communities.

In July of 2002, 19 year old Russell Turcotte was on his way home to Montana from a Rainbow Gathering in the Ottawa National Forest in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. He had stayed behind a few days after the gathering to clean up the mess that was left behind. With his friends already back in Montana, Russell decided to hitchhike back. Upon reaching Grand Forks, North Dakota, Russell would call his mom to have some money wired so he could ride the train the rest of the way home. Russell would never pick up the money, and it wouldn't be until November of 2002, that his horrific fate would be discovered.

Episode 68: Howie and his cousin are going to drive from Austin to Steamboat Springs CO and then hike into the national forest to attend the Rainbow Gathering that has been going on since Woodstock. It is very unofficial and the Forest Service is gearing up to try and accommodate up to 10,000 people. Then Howie and his cousin will head on to Veneta OR to the Oregon Country Fair that has also been held for over 50 years.

After years of low test scores, concerns of gang activity, and accusations of discrimination against Spanish-speaking students, a new state-mandated “reorganization” order could seal the fate of the Adams 14 school district — schools may close and thousands of students could be forced to attend classes outside their community. Today on the show, host Bree Davies talks to Chalkbeat reporter Yesenia Robles about where the school district sits now, how it got to such a dire state, and where the people of Commerce City stand when it comes their much-maligned schools. Read Yesenia Robles' in-depth reporting on the Adams 14 situation in English and Spanish for Chalkbeat. Bree mentioned the latest on the impending Rainbow Gathering.

On today’s Morning Magazine, The Radiation Exposure Compensation Act will expire this summer. We'll hear from those impacted by radiation exposure about the implications. After that, the 50th annual Rainbow Gathering is coming to Colorado and some communities are apprehensive. […]

Architects of the world's first Rainbow Gathering invited all people everywhere to a non-hierarchical utopia with no money, no violence, and freely accessible drugs. Fifty years later, we reply "maybe."

When the news dropped a few weeks ago that 30,000 hippies are likely to descend on Colorado this summer for the 50th annual Rainbow Gathering of the Tribes, the backlash was swift and vocal. A Reddit post on how to take action against the Rainbow Gathering even garnered more than 600 comments in less than 24 hours. Wildfire risk and the environmental impact of this weeks-long shindig were some of the major concerns cited. But one thing the City Cast crew didn't see in any of the coverage? Information from an actual attendee of the Rainbow Gathering. So we called one up. Tenali Hrenak has been going to Rainbow Gatherings all over the world for more than 20 years, and he chatted with City Cast Denver Host Bree Davies about what this event is really all about, what myths need to be dispelled, and if Coloradans have a reason to be concerned. Hrenak has been collecting field recordings from Rainbow Gatherings for his own podcast.

In questo nuovissimo episodio vi parlerò dei raduni Rainbow Family.. una comunità di persone unite insieme per celebrare la vita. PAROLA D'ORDINE? Ritrovare il contatto con la natura e con gli altri, un'esperienza da provare a pieno per riconnetterci con noi stessi. “Quando la Terra sarà devastata e gli animali quasi estinti, giungerà sulla terra una nuova tribù di popoli di ogni colore, cultura e fede, e questi, attraverso le loro opere e le loro azioni, renderanno di nuovo verde la Terra. Essi saranno la tribù dei Guerrieri dell'Arcobaleno”

“There is no accurate picture” of how many indigenous people have been murdered or gone missing in Colorado, according to our guest today, Raven Payment. Amid a growing, international movement to address the crisis of MMIR — Missing and Murdered Indigenous Relatives — she helped form a task force to take on the issue locally. Step one? Push for legislation to create a state office that can figure out exactly how big this problem even is. Today on the show, Host Bree Davies talks with Payment, who identifies as Kanien'kehá:ka and Anishinaabe, about her work on the task force and how the creation of this office could help Indigenous people all across Colorado.  Our guest Raven Payment mentions a couple of times how the Urban Indian Health Institute's 2017 report on MMRI was a catalyst for organizing around this issue. If you're interested, here's a link to that report: https://www.uihi.org/resources/missing-and-murdered-indigenous-women-girls/ 30,000 hippies are descending on an as-yet-undisclosed location in Colorado this summer. It's an annual event called the Rainbow Gathering, and it's got lots of folks really worried.

30,000 expected at Rainbow Gathering's 50th anniversary in Colorado, sparking wildfire concerns   The first time the Rainbow Gathering got together was in 1972 and that happened to be in Grand County. The last time they met in Colorado was in 2006, when 10,000 people camped out on public lands in Routt National Forest. This unofficial organization has no official leaders nor an official website. But through word of modern mouth, like Reddit forums, this group of hippy campers appear to be headed to Colorado to celebrate their 50th anniversary this summer. There's cause for concern though about the impact of such a large group on federal lands. But as Jason Blevins reports, one upside so far is the Forest Service knows it's coming. Tamara Chuang talks to Jason in today's podcast. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

He was a more-than-friendly Native American musician, who loved the outdoors and loved to travel. But Russell Turcotte, a 19-year-old free spirit from Wolf Point, Montana, would never live to dance at an upcoming family wedding. Just weeks before he was set to attend the nuptuals in Montana in the summer of 2002, he was making his way back from a Rainbow Gathering in Michigan when he went missing in North Dakota. Nearly four months later, he was found dead. For the past two decades, family and friends have found themselves frustrated with what they say was a lack of effort to find their loved one. In Part One of 'How Exactly Was Russell Turcotte Killed?" Angela Marshall dives into his disappearance, the day he was found murdered and the emotional battle his father has endured.

In 1980, 26-year-old Vicki Durian and 19-year-old Nancy Santomero hitchhiked across the country to attend the Rainbow Gathering in Pocahontas County, West Virginia. Their bodies were found just miles from the festival. Years later, a concerned resident came forward with information about the murders but instead became the number one suspect.

This week Kristin tells Mogab about the double murder of Vicki Durian and Nancy Santomero. It was the summer of 1980, and the girls were hitch hiking their way across the country to Pocahontas County, West Virginia to attend a festival called the Rainbow Gathering. They never arrived, and the investigation into their murders would rove around twists and turns until the unsettling conclusion... Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/truecrimecreepers)

This week's matchup gives you a choice of cultures to appropriate: You can hang out with the Rainbow Family and immerse yourself in some muddled, deeply unsurprising theft of Native American ideas, or you can tie a string on with the Kabbalah and take a moment to consider if it's possible to improperly appropriate your own culture! Seems like a yes to me. 

Show Notes:Last week we dove into what's happening in our movies and television shows regarding the 3d visitations of aliens. We had to go here first to dive into this week’s episode. Please I am asking if you are a BABE in Christ, I would NOT recommend this episode. If you are strong in the Lord feel free to listen. I also encourage you to SHARE this and make sure you subscribe so you can get notified when episodes drop!! To Recap: As we know the first kind or dimension is a sighting the second kind or dimension is evidence that something took place and then, of course, the third kind or the third dimension is the actual visitation of the alien on earth. Why is it important for us to delve into 4D/5D in this week's episode?  We must dive in because in this practice, i.e., new age, you do not want to stay in your 3D form. We will discuss what 4D and 5D mean and why it is so important to see the deception that is arising. I did NOT mention these gatherings in this episode, but here are a few that happen all over the globe, especially. Thought you, my family listener, would like to see how I am NOT making this stuff up!! Feel free to see ALL of this demonic activity that is out there. ·        Rainbow Gathering – “are temporary, loosely knit communities of people, who congregate in remote forests around the world for one or more weeks at a time[1] with the stated intention of living a shared ideology[2] of peace, harmony, freedom, and respect.[3] In the original invitation, spread throughout the United States in 1971, the "Rainbow Family Tribe" referred to themselves as "brothers & sisters, children of God", "Families of life on Earth", "Friends of Nature & of all People" and "Children of Humankind".[4] All races, nations, politicians, etc. were invited in the desire that there could be peace among all people. The goal was to create what they believed was a more satisfying culture — free  from consumerism, capitalism, and mass media — one that would be non-hierarchical, that would further world peace, and serve as a model for reforms to mainstream society. However, the values actually exhibited by the group have at times varied quite a bit from this ideal,[5] with recent decades showing increasing levels of crime at the events,[6][7] and some organizers stating the core principles have been modified, and become more mainstream, in an effort to attract more people.” ·        The Burning Man - https://burningman.org/ - “This year’s Burning Man theme is an invitation to emerge from our collective isolation, to explore the unfamiliar contours of a changed world, and to reimagine ourselves, our community, and our culture in ways that might not have been possible before this period of plague and pause.

Two free spirited women who embraced the hippie lifestyle ventured cross country on a trip of a lifetime to the Rainbow Gathering. Vicki, an experienced hitchhiker, and her young protege Nancy met up with a third friend to journey across America to a beautiful National Park in West Virginia. Only somewhere along the way, the road trip met a deadly end. With little to go on, the case went cold. 9 local men were implicated in the murders but a turn of events will change the case's history and leave a lot of unanswered questions.

The Teafaerie, like God herself, is never serious but always sincere. She has facilitated psychedelic peer support at festivals since her work with Rock Med in the 90s, and boy does she have some stories to tell. On the show, we talk about the art of trip sitting and how we can see a difficult trip as an emergence, not an emergency. We discuss how to protect ourselves from conspiracy theories, personal mythologies, and the psychedelic renaissance itself. Finally, we end by asking, if the global pandemic is like a bad trip, how would the the Teafaerie turn our dark night of the soul into “psychedelic benefit enhancement”? In fact, stay tuned for an addendum after the outro, where the Teafaerie goes a little deeper on how to trip sit America. The Teafaerie gets her name from the fabled “Tea Time” of the Rainbow Gathering, a pirate tea house of no minor psychedelic repute. She writes the Teatime column on the psychedelic website Erowid and has been trip sitting wayward psychonauts in one form or another since the 90s.

After a reflective chat about flow-state and the writing process, we dive into tonight's story, set at a Rainbow Gathering in Portugal. This story is based on an entry from Jazz's journals in the summer of 2019 and features a few of her favourite people. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

In the early evening of June 25, 1980 in Pocahontas County, West Virginia, two middle-class outsiders named Vicki Durian, 26, and Nancy Santomero, 19, were murdered in an isolated clearing. They were hitchhiking to a festival known as the Rainbow Gathering but never arrived; they traveled with a third woman however, who lived. For thirteen years, no one was prosecuted for the "Rainbow Murders," though deep suspicion was cast on a succession of local residents in the community, depicted as poor, dangerous, and backward. In 1993, a local farmer was convicted, only to be released when a known serial killer and diagnosed schizophrenic named Joseph Paul Franklin claimed responsibility. With the passage of time, as the truth seemed to slip away, the investigation itself caused its own traumas--turning neighbor against neighbor and confirming a fear of the violence outsiders have done to this region for centuries. Emma Copley Eisenberg spent years living in Pocahontas and re-investigating these brutal acts. Using the past and the present, she shows how this mysterious act of violence has loomed over all those affected for generations, shaping their fears, fates, and the stories they tell about themselves. In The Third Rainbow Girl, Eisenberg follows the threads of this crime through the complex history of Appalachia, forming a searing and wide-ranging portrait of America--its divisions of gender and class, and of its violence. Eisenberg is in conversation with Steph Cha, the author of Follow Her Home, Beware Beware, Dead Soon Enough, and Your House Will Pay, out from Ecco in 2019.

Inspired by the month of February, so often associated with love, join in an episode that examines the love of flow! Compiled from all the interviews since the creation of the Art of Flow in 2018, jump into hearing individuals flow stories, what keeps folks spinning, why fire-dancing and flow arts is important in their lives. Ask yourself, what creative outlets do you have and what do they bring to your life? Photo Credits for cover art Top Right: Photo of Dresden Blue by Juan Davila Top Middle: Photo of Duncan Greenwood Top Left: Photo of Troy Grisa Bottom Left: Photo of Aileen Lawlor by Jerimiah Johnston Bottom Middle: Photo of Xander Paris  Bottom Right: Photo of Dyami Kaplan  For the Love of Flow Ronan McLoughlin: [00:00:00] Depending on how I'm feeling on a particular day, I'm either going to be more predisposed to stress or can be more resilient. And that goes down to the basis of how my system operates, I feel. So whether that's how my physical body is working. Have I been, have I been using that well, have I've been doing good things for that so that things are running smoothly with that basis. Then also for all the different aspects of my mind as well. So have I been using my mind well. What if I could consuming. With my body and my brain. What are you putting into this? This mix that makes that makes me up and if I keep putting in good wholesome stuff and leads to more wholesome results. If I've been putting in less wholesome stuff, I get less wholesome result. So I think does a lot of stuff, Can we kind of invest in that? Can we try to take care or ourselves, I guess?   Morgan Dolginow: [00:00:56] Ronan is an innovative poi spinner that travels the world teaching and performing? He is the originator of Contact Poi and has spoken on Ted X about learning to learn. That was an excerpt from Ronan McLoughlin's episode on Awareness in which he discusses self-care. Keeping that in mind, how have we been taking care of ourselves? How can we make sure that we are consuming something that fulfills us? What about what we are listening to? In honor of the month of February, so often focused on love, whether it be relationships, self-love, appreciating friends and family are loving to observe the hallmark industrial capitalistic takeover of holidays present and marketing around us, you know, whenever floats your boat,   Morgan Dolginow: [00:01:41] I wanted to take a moment to examine our love of flow. So many wonderful individuals have spoken about flow and their lives, flow arts, dancing, creativity and what inspires them since the Art of Flow began in 2018. What do they share that reminds us why we love flow? Let's listen, and as an extra challenge, can you pick out what episode each person was in? If you can figure it out, post your answer on the Art of Flow group on Facebook, where you can connect with other listeners and maybe you'll earn a prize. Tani Olhanski: [00:02:17] My name's Tani. Poi was kind of like I have to spin this to be able to spin fire. It was never like that love at first sight, I held these things in my hand and was like, "Ahhh, this is it" and one day one of my friends calls me up and he's like, "Hey, I found this group of people in Dolores Park" and I was like, "what?" She was like, "they are like spinning poi and stuff, they're like, doing your thing that you do and you should go hang out with them. Practice with them." It's like, yeah. Where are they? And so I went down and it was DoloFlow. And so I started going and I think it was either my first or second day there, Tani Olhanski: [00:02:54] someone I don't remember who was had a dragonstaff and I picked up and was like, oooo I like this. And I spent the whole day spinning it and I was hooked from then. Every time I was around dragonstaff, I grab one. And then that opened the floodgates where everything else that came after. [00:03:15] Aileen discovered an enthusiasm towards the flow arts after moving to San Francisco in 2004 and delving into the practice of Poi, contact staff, and flow wand.   Aileen Lawlor: [00:03:24] We drove to the Rainbow Gathering, it happened in a random national park throughout the country. And this time we were lucky because it was pretty close by. So this must have been in '98, 1998. You know, it's just like this total hippie fest where everyday's camping out, and I remember seeing this girl spend fire poi right as the sun was going down and it just it clicked for me. There's something about the fire, there was something about the movement that felt like, "OK, this is the type of movement that my body can do." And I had a feeling that I was gonna be able to do it well. So I knew that, that was the thing that I wanted to do in the future. When I moved to San Francisco in 2004, I went with the specific goal of learning fire poi to enhance my resumé as an actor. So studying acting in New York and I thought, okay, I'm gonna go, I'm gonna learn fire poi. That'll be a cool thing to put on my resumé. It'll give me an edge and then I'll go back to New York and keep studying theater. Little did I know it was gonna take a little bit longer than a month to learn poi. And so I start taking classes in San Francisco and I ended up staying in San Francisco, clued into the fire community that was meeting up and connecting with all these different people that were really part of a very early fire scene before the word flow was even in the picture. Morgan Dolginow: [00:04:45] What is flow? Why do you love it? Lane Lilliquist: [00:04:48] Why do I spin? It's a practice. It has taught me more about my body than I could have ever imagined. It has brought more amazing people into my life than I could have ever imagined. And then in other aspects, like, what's it like when you live life in your healthy, and you're capable of doing all the things you want to do. It's awesome! You know I just can't describe it too much differently. Like when you go when you have energy for what seems like a marathon of running around the city all day on top of that it's like an amazing art form to witness. And I like that pur suit of perfection, the practice, the refinement, the honing skills, getting lines straight, you know, getting stalls in the point that I mean them to be catching and tosses in all the different variations that exist. That aspect really gives me a sense that I'm pursuing mastery. And I think that that's an important aspect kind of in anybody's life. Morgan Dolginow: [00:05:50] Kevin has pioneered various techniques and fire and flow photography for over 10 years. Kevin LeVezu: [00:05:55] Actually, one of the things I love about working with fellow artists and photographing them is they're looking at the world in a different way than I am, and they're looking at things that I don't even see. And so I love being around flow artists because they see an ideal world that I don't see. I'm older, and so in my world, you get a lot more practical, and the hope and the dreams that you see in flow artists are so much fun and one of the main reasons I love collaborating and working with them. Morgan Dolginow: [00:06:24] Britney has traveled to Austria for the World Body Championships, taught body painting at Burning Man, and has painted faces of hundreds of kids and adults alike. She is also an accomplished world travelling, hooping fire dancer.   Brittany Isphording: [00:06:38] Flow arts has really helped me heal a lot of deep seated wounds and I really enjoy sharing that with other people. Morgan Dolginow: [00:06:45] Dresden in an artist exploring the expressive potential of combining martial arts, circus and fine arts. Dresden Blue: [00:06:51] The early years it was, it was finding a way to express a lot of things that had been bottled up for a really long time in my life and building like a vocabulary that let me see those things in a way that I couldn't really with words. You know, with various romantic partnerships I had sometimes it's like had a . . . it's been a way to really deeply connect with another body as well as with the prop where you're able to get that kind of that that amazing sense of proprioception, not just for the prop, but with another person and able to really transfer like a really deep level of like somatic information back and forth to each other while you have this amazing fiery thing spinning around you at the same time. At other points, it's been a way for me to help other people heal, too, especially in doing private lessons in one at ones. You know, you can kind of start to delve into why people are wanting to learn these things and oftentimes it's it's because they want to feel empowered. They want to find a way to feel seen. And that's really powerful. Morgan Dolginow: [00:07:52] Veronica was introduced to then entrancing world of hooping seven years ago following the sudden loss of her best friend. Using flow arts as a means to transcend her earthly frustrations and sorrows, the art form has not only allowed a new avenue of creativity, but a positive outlet to be a role model and use for inspiring artist and dancers. Veronica Stein: [00:08:13] I tend to get lost in the details, I really love realism. I like doing spaces and animals and things like that. And so when I can really get in those details in that shading, I completely forget that I'm on a canvas sometimes until they move or speak. And it it's it's pretty fun because I do do flow arts. I actually started flow arts before I started body painting. And I do get that same we get sucked into the moment and you're just swept up in what you're doing, what you're creating. And it's really cool when you come out of it and you're like, oh, wow, that's what I just created. Rion Fish: [00:08:53] I'm Rion Fish, and I am a movement artist, variety entertainer and you know fish about time. Flow state kind of feels like very connected to things, we know what's going to happen, before it happens, I always think of the flow state like the spidey sense, of being slightly aware of what we're going to do before you do it, in operating at your peak condition. It's a little bit like being high on life. Morgan Dolginow: [00:09:17] Xander's life passion is martial, flow, and performance arts. He grew up involved in martial arts at a Muay Thai gym, years of dance classes, and theater which sparked his interest and movement, rhythm, and performance. Xander Paris: [00:09:30] Mentally, it really helped me by learning I can tackle challenges and really cementing my my determination, like putting things together new ways. And it really is like a big confidence boost to really see yourself improve. And it's a noticeable improvement, too, unlike, you know, your height, right? You grow a fraction of a fraction of an inch every day and you never notice when you're tall. But with flow arts, you get a move and all of sudden, you know that you can do that and you can see the progress. Morgan Dolginow: [00:09:58] I'm talking to Ty Roachford, the founder of Pop Dance Culture, an online resource hub and social media platform for fellow artist and those interested in learning prop dance fusion. He is also a student of neuroscience and an avid poi spinner. Ty Roachford: [00:10:13] Sometimes I will reward myself with just going like, okay, I'm going to work on this all day and then when I'm done, I'm going to go and do like flow arts stuff or just like spin, you know, like get into my own head and zone and just move around. Yeah, the feeling. It is my way to think about things that are not even related to flow. It is a meditative practice. So even if I'm not feeling like spinning, I'm feeling like meditating and getting into the zone and feeling like creative in some totally other different thing. I will go to that place that prop spinning, meditative place. Morgan Dolginow: [00:10:52] Richard is among the most distinguished American contact jugglers. He both teaches and performs along the West Coast and overseas at Indie stages to huge festivals. Richard Hartnell: [00:11:04] But I realized that in the same way that I need to eat from different food groups to keep my body from falling apart. And I need to run different social scenes to keep myself from falling apart. That music wasn't going to be enough. They could just play music every month let that be my only escape. And then I started wondering what the food groups of the creative experience, what are the food groups of flow states, right? And I thought, gosh, well I got music, and I have writing and I have cooking. What else have I got? Richard Hartnell: [00:11:32] Now I've got this pharmacopoeia medicine or something, like psychedelics or something is like a part of like inducing these mystical ego-less states. Then I realize, movement. I don't have a movement art that I do well. Well, I'm not a martial artist. Not a dancer, like I used to play sports as a kid but I didn't really care about them. So I quit. Richard Hartnell: [00:11:50] So I came home having meeting some circus people, and then I went to see a circus show that had happened here at RenFaire show that fall. And I went to see their show And during their show I realized, just like me as a DJ, they are also encoding psychedelic messages in their art, but they're also using art to spread a message of harmony, mysticism and inspiration and progress and beauty and joy. And I'm like, god we are on the same team. They don't even know! And I ran up about the show was done. Completely starry eyed. Found my friend Jocelyn and I was like "Jocelyn how do I get involved in this?" She's like, go talk to that juggler over there. And I went to that juggler over there, and I was like "Hey, man, Jocelyn says I should talk with you about how to  get involved in this thing?" and he's like "through juggling club." Morgan Dolginow: [00:12:38] Troy picked up a spinning poi in college that has been going ever since. A flow arts fanatic currently living in Portland, Oregon, learning water to move props each year. Troy Grisa: [00:12:47] I went with a friend to a World Beat's night, just at a local bar in Milwaukee, and you know the bass was thumping and the drinks were flowing. And I'm standing at the bar just kind of standing awkwardly, like too cool for school, just observing, and across the room, flies an object and wraps perfectly around my leg like a tentacle. With a sharp reaction, I bent over to pick it up. I didn't know what it was at the time. I was a podpoi and I picked it up, but I couldn't believe what I was holding in my hands. Incredible, glowing, pulsing, like I said, tentacle. Troy Grisa: [00:13:20] And I held it out at arm's length, studying it. When a dreadlocked wook came up to me, and said, "Hey, man," flicked back his dreads, "that's mine." With a huge grin I handed it back to him, and he, for lack of a better word, slithered back into the crowd while spinning it and keeping his eyes locked time. Obviously he was playing a part of being goofy with it, but I proceeded to watch him flow, and within 10 seconds of that happening, I took out my phone, typed in poi beginner set. . . Morgan Dolginow: [00:13:51] Meet Duncan Roy Greenwood, a flow artist from Cape Town, South Africa. He has spent much of his life trying to promote the flow arts, sharing it and getting others involved in the flow community. He created the flow arts commune Africa Burn, similar to Burning Man conclave in the US. Duncan Greenwood: [00:14:09] And now, I realize that you can make art using dance and math and juggling at the same time and photography to do it.So that is like a technical sort of equipment kind of aspects to learning how how light is captured. So this to me now is all of a sudden seemed like the ultimate form. Duncan Greenwood: [00:14:38] And I specifically then went and learnt how to spin poi, so that I could learn antispin, so that I could transfer antispin to my flower stick repertoire of techniques and I developed buzzsaw antispin fountain with flower sticks. By that time I started getting kind of good, or at least more comfortable with poi, and that become more comfortable to me than sticks. Morgan Dolginow: [00:15:07] Isa founded Temple of Point in 2002, a school community supporting artists, cultivating flow practices designed to empower them to better understand themselves, the world around them and how to interrelate through the use of poi dancing and other flow tools. Isa Isaacs: [00:15:24] I just had this transcendent moment where I was dancing and the poi just happened to be swinging around me as a part of the dance and it just something happened where for the whole flow on the Playa, and I just transcended me, and I was expressing the music. Morgan Dolginow: [00:15:42] Dyami Kaplan is a performer, flow arts teacher, a massage therapist from Santa Cruz, California. Dyami Kaplan: [00:15:49] The most effective ways that I've ever seen for this firm to grow is for us to continue to offer knowledge around it and offer learning around it as freely as possible. And there's definitely been a few ways that we do that. We've always tried to have an emphasis at the spin jam gatherings of not only sharing very freely with each other what we are excited about, but also welcoming in and having a very strong emphasis on inclusion with anyone who shows the interest in those shows up and like, "hey, what is this? What are you doing this? This looks interesting." And I think a lot of us recognize that it's really important if anyone ever comes to us like time to be, this is what it is. Here, try it and let me put this in your hands. Try it for yourself. Here's some things that you can do with it. And that's kind of the really important initial layer of it. And then beyond just offering classes as much as possible, whether that's classes, if anyone's inspired to teach in any format in the towns that they live in or if they have information that they're feeling inspired to share at the gatherings, the flow arts festivals and the firedancing gatherings. Morgan Dolginow: [00:17:05] Jilly Bee first picked up poi in the form of glow sticks and string's when she was 16, volunteering in a youth organization. She now spends much of her time cultivating community through interacting, connecting with its people. Much of her time in our circle is focused on organizing, leading, designing and facilitating community discussions on the future of our art. Jilly Bee: [00:17:24] When you're engaging in an activity that is bringing you present, the moment is very much an exercise. So you're exercising this big massive muscle and is able to move and work together when you're stimulating the creative side of your minds. The more you do that. That's a muscle. So the more you tap into that creative part of yourself, that part of yourself that can play, that does play, that does explore, and that is able to create a stronger it gets. It's really sad. I dare to say there's some people that go through their whole lives without stimulating that part of them. To them, creativity is characteristic of people who make art. And art is something you have to be really good at and you get paid to do. It's like this weird stigma. No, every single human being on this planet is inherently creating. Morgan Dolginow: [00:18:11] But what about me? Why am I creating this podcast. How did I get into the flow arts?  I broke up with my first love and I realized that I did not really know what love was. I had somewhere along the line had stopped loving myself. And through spinning, all those hours spent alone, exploring space and through self-expression, Morgan Dolginow: [00:18:37] I remembered what it was, reached out and found community. Thanks to everyone who shared in this podcast episode why they love flow, how they first encountered it, what it means in their lives, and what it's bringing to the table. I challenge you to ask yourself, what does it mean to you? How are you providing yourself outlets for creativity? Morgan Dolginow: [00:19:04] Thank you for listening to the Art of Flow.

In conversation with Sarah Marshall, journalist, writer, and co-host of the podcast You're Wrong About. In June 1980, two young middle-class women who had been hitchhiking to a nature festival called the Rainbow Gathering were found murdered in a remote clearing in Pocahontas County, West Virginia. Though no one was prosecuted for these crimes, suspicions turned on one local family, then on a convicted serial killer, and then seemed to melt away into time. Emma Copley Eisenberg moved to Pocahontas County for two years, combing through the hills for clues to the murders, discovering along the way how this violent act traumatized those affected and helped shape a complex narrative about the self-perceptions of Appalachians. Eisenberg's writing has appeared in such publications as Granta, McSweeney's, Tin House, Salon, and Slate. (recorded 1/23/2020)

Gabriel Wolfchild is the lead singer and guitarist for the band Wolfchild. He began as a visual artist, but after experiencing the Rainbow Gathering, a huge gathering of people and artists in a national forest, he realized he needed to make music. Wolfchild describes the band’s genre as cinematic dream folk, and goes into more detail about what that entails. He is a big believer that music is medicine and it’s his job to share his music and stories, so that he can heal someone. Music to him is for the listeners, so they can connect with it. Gabriel talks about his struggles with finding a place to live and make music, and how life not being perfect makes for good music. He also discusses his experience on The Voice, finding a name for himself, and him and his brother experimenting with eclectic instruments and sounds.

Planners discuss the Rainbow Gathering, July 1-7, as some 5,000 back-to-nature enthusiasts are descending on the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest near Iron River for a week seeking peace and harmony. It's the first time in four decades the group will meet in Wisconsin.

Welcome to the hair episode! Learn how to move your hair when you belly dance to a trance-inducing beat, try the “Khaliji Sideways Hair Sway”, and turn your next shower into a stress-relieving ritual. DANCEABLE RITUAL: Cleansing Your Hair and Mind   Washing our hair is a chance to cleanse our minds and enjoy massaging and detangling our thoughts, even if it’s just a quick shower.   A paraphrased Buddhist proverb inspired this danceable ritual. It is, “Remember that when you cleanse your body you can also cleanse your mind.”   Next time you wash your hair, do more than just the regular mindless or preoccupied wash. Try washing your hair as a danceable ritual. This can mean doing a few dance moves while you do your regular routine or having a whole ritual for the duration of the shower.   If you want try a whole ritual, here are some ideas…   Make the whole process leading up to washing your hair a dance as well. Remove clothes artfully, turn the water on with soft hands, and step into the tub with a pointed toe and graceful arm. Thank the water with prayer hands, and raise them up as lotus hands beneath the water source. Smooth your hair. You can even do the “Dripping in Gold” move from show number 4!   Relax your face. Welcome the shampoo into your hand as a gift from above. As you put the bottle down, also release any thoughts that are not serving you. Let them wash away from you. Massage the shampoo into your hair with both hands. Dance to the music of the soap. As you rinse it out, do down mayas with the water running down your hips. Again, wash off whatever is not serving you. Release it. If you use conditioner, reach for it. Accept the gift of the conditioner. Release tension a third time as you set the bottle down. Untangle your thoughts while you untangle your hair, breathing in infinite space. When you are done, do wrist circles as your hand floats to turn the water off.   As you step out, take hold of your towel with 2 hands like it’s a veil. Throw it up and over yourself. Dry off your hair and body gently. Wrap yourself in the towel and take a beautiful bow, knowing you just danced with all of those doing hair washing rituals the world over. Ta da! It’s better if you have 10 minutes to take a danceable ritual shower, but even if you have just 3 minutes to shower, you can dance for part of it.   I lived in Asia for years, and was often in places where people bathe outdoors with their clothes on. Those are the perfect places to watch more mundane hair washing rituals. I like to reflect on the time young woman whipped her hair out of the water while bathing under a bridge in Bali. The women twisting and squeezing their long black hair in the river in Southern India beside the bathing town elephant Lakshmi. Standing on the Lao side of the Mekhong in my bathing garment washing my hair as long motor boats puttered by.   In addition to being in areas where people bath outside, festivals often offer a peek into the different ways we can wash our hair. Decades ago at a Rainbow Gathering, my mother in law remembers being so impressed with how carefully a woman washed another woman’s hair. They are still friends and that is their first memory together. At Burning Man, the Sweaty Betty camp is known for washing the hair of strangers. This is a big deal, because at Burning Man everyone brings all of the water they will use and is also responsible for disposing of gray water. And the Playa dust gets into everything. My friend Katie and I washed each others’ hair in bottled water over our evaporation pool at Burning Man, very deliberately making every drop count. So special.   But we don’t have to be in a foreign place to have a completely new and transportive experience. When we bring rituals into our home, we are part of something much bigger than a geographic location. And when we dance, we transcend words and time.   DANCEABLE SONG: Saharni Halaha

Imagine, if you will, the Gathering of the Juggalos. Add a few more white people dreadlocks, subtract everyone's shoes, multiply by the largest off-beat drum circle you can think of and you have The Rainbow Gathering. It's half cult, half festival and 100% nothing Erin and Nicole ever want to be a part of.

Evan talks about his cyclical lifestyle between adventuring (climbing, hiking and caving) and days jobs, mainly including working for AmeriCorps in Arizona, eliminating invasive species. He also talks about how and why he chose to live primarily out of his car.

Luna leaves her Americorp job with teammates Alejandro and Jordana to enjoy Spring Break at the National Rainbow Gathering. A late night encounter in the glow of the bonfire with a Professor Trelawney lookalike / Alien visiting from Pleiades launches a 56 hour sexual journey that features neopolitan threesomes, a Mad Hatter, fruitarians, some sexy Columbian campfire stank a myriad of sparkly drum circles and thousands of naked hippies cavorting through forests and streams in search of adventure.

Esimene koht, kus oma rännakutel sel suvel peatusin, oli Euroopa Rainbow Gathering Lõuna-Poolas. Minu üllatuseks kogunes sel aastal tervelt paar tosinat eestlast - ja veel suuremaks - nende hulgas ka Erkki Kaikkonen, keda olen terve suve tahtnud mikrofoniga maha joosta. Õppinud sotsioloogiat ja psühholoogiat, intuitiivpedagoogikat, rännanud erinevaid maailma nurki ning nüüd ka tuntud kui muinasjutuvestja, on vestlused temaga alati põnevad, haaravad ja sütitavad. Selles saates vestleme Rainbow'st ja kohapealsetest kogemustest ja muljetest, looduse rütmis elamisest, kuukalendrist ning Einsteini olulisimast küsimusest - Kas ehitada sildu või müüre?

Apie keliavimo patirtis, atradimus ir apie keliaujant aplankančias ypatingas būsenas pasakoja Raminta Kabelkaitė - akušerė, amatininkė, ugnies žonglierė, trijų vaikų mama. Žmonės apie ją sako, kad ji yra radikali optimistė bei naivus gamtos vaikas. Pasišnekėjome, iš kur ta meilė gamtai, į kokius išskirtinius pasaulio kampelius nuvedė „Rainbow Gathering“ bendruomenės renginiai, kuo ji dalijasi dviejuose savo tinklaraščiuose, ką naujo apie save sužinojo keliaudama. Raminta atsinešė ir jai artimos, gamtą bei žmogų suvienijančios muzikos.

Life under the Rainbow: Running wild in the woods with the naked hippies Redefining you inhibitions and desires to create an entirely new view of the world and have lots of fun at the same time. Natural fun. no drugs, no alcohol, no technology We invite Felix Chandler back to the mic to talk about our experiences at Rainbow gatherings and what people need to know about them. Considering it is possibly one of the most enjoyable, interesting and insightful events I've ever been to it's amazing that most people have never heard of them, so definitely something worth sharing with you the listeners! We try and cover all the things someone who has never been asks and should know before arriving and the effect they had on us including all the challenges it threw at us and our favourite experiences and take homes. As well as rainbow gatherings we also discuss polyamory, the benefits of having and not having and generally put the world to rights on social media and travel. Gatherings More details about upcoming Rainbow gatherings across the world can be found online here: http://somewhereundertherainbow.org/find-a-gathering/ https://www.welcomehome.org/ There are usually one or two active facebook groups per gathering and far too many to list here. Some of them can be difficult to join without an invite but you can usually message on one of the forums to be invited or try contacting me direct for an insiders invite into the family =] LESSONS Appreciate things The story of the rich successful guy who wants to go back to being a poor man on the street was really interesting. He had never tasted something so good as a this skinny cat because he was so hungry for it and so appreciative. If you can culture better appreciation of everything around you this is the key to being happier in your life Rainbow is a great launchpad for travel When you want to visit a new country and really learn about it and meet people and have real experiences. It is very hard these days as a tourist going to a new city and trying to actually engage with real life. Going to a Rainbow gathering in the country is a perfect way to meet actual locals and understand what life was like in their history and current times. And you get an awful lot of inspiration and tips for cool things to do in that country and a lot of invites to go and visit people and do fun stuff together. If you see an event happening in a country you’ve wanted to visit it is literally the best place to start hands down. Smile more I can’t say how nice it was being in a group of people who always smiled at you as you walk along. Every day I walked lightly on my feet thanks to all the smiles. It’s something I’ve really enjoyed practising out and about since. HAlf the people I smile at look away before they get the chance to respond, but genuinely a lot of people look surprised and sile back and have a connection. and some people I even get a high five for no real reason but it’s awesome. So just go about your day assuming everyone will be nicer if you smile at them and thus you can actually make it so. BOOKS Get any of the books free on audible (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Audible-Free-Trial-Digital-Membership/dp/B00OPA2XFG?tag=samharris48%E2%80%9321) Sex at Dawn by Christopher Ryan (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sex-Dawn-Stray-Modern-Relationships/dp/0061707813/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2VPRE1F17HCJR&keywords=sex+at+dawn&qid=1580470304&s=books&sprefix=sex+a%2Cstripbooks%2C347&sr=1-1) Since Darwin's day, we've been told that sexual monogamy comes naturally to our species. Mainstream science--as well as religious and cultural institutions--has maintained that men and women evolved in families in which a man's possessions and protection were exchanged for a woman's fertility and fidelity. But this narrative is collapsing. Fewer and fewer couples are getting married, and divorce rates keep climbing as adultery and flagging libido drag down even seemingly solid marriages. In the tradition of the best historical and scientific writing, Sex at Dawn unapologetically upends unwarranted assumptions and unfounded conclusions while offering a revolutionary understanding of why we live and love as we do. Somewhere Under the Rainbow by Tom Thumb (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Somewhere-Under-Rainbow-personal-Gatherings/dp/1482611708/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=somewhere+under+the+rainbow&qid=1580470380&s=books&sr=1-1) This is a well-reviewed book about his experiences at Rainbow gatherings. It’s been described as a great way for those who haven’t gone to learn about it and for those that have been to reminisce and remember what they valued. I hope that is what I have achieved with this podcast but if you want to know more or remember more then this book is the place to go. Status Anxiety - Alain De Botton (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Status-Anxiety-Alain-Botton/dp/0141014865/ref=sr_1_1?crid=TCZJXLBKSSHJ&keywords=status+anxiety+by+alain+de+botton&qid=1580470410&s=books&sprefix=status+an%2Cstripbooks%2C341&sr=1-1) A fascinating read on how are status affects the way we are treated by others and general dilemmas we face. What we try to acquire it from building a business to an active social media and how we can overcome this massive anxiety we are increasingly developing to end up being happier and more chilled out people.

I’m very excited to introduce today’s guest, Xavier Rudd. Since the very beginning, Xavier's ability to connect with people has been his most powerful gift. The more he has toured the world, the more hearts he has touched and the more of the world he has put back into his music. Showcasing an ability to play several instruments at once, and Drawing inspiration from his ancestors, his music is unique and powerful, with a quickly growing worldwide audience. His diverse and acclaimed career is going from strength to strength, with his message of global togetherness, acceptance and respect as well as his dynamic musical connection. He is quickly solidifying his place as one of Australia's greatest artists, activists and spirits. I first heard his music during a meditation weekend in Ojai, California a couple years ago, and it immediately had a profound effect on my heart. I’ve since added it into my yoga playlists and my students always ask me what that amazing song was….. Check the show notes and the second part of this show,  to get a listen to that song…. Xavier and I  connected in Bali where he was headlining the Bali Spirit Festival. We sat down just after the sound-check for his show, to discuss activism, yoga, and conscious eating, and Xavier explains why his music is an old woman. You’ll have to listen to the interview to understand that one….. We talk about his biggest concerns in the world, the focus of his activism now, and what he feels is necessary to turn things around for the better. As one might expect, I found him to be an awakened and present soul. I for one am so grateful for the way he is showing up in the world , using his voice and growing megaphone,  to inspire the positive change that our planet so sorely needs now.

Kevin James is a chant leader from Australia who has developed from years of experience, the art of leading ecstatic chant and open heart connection with his voice, mantras and heartsongs. He travels the globe constantly with the intention and vision of joining with others who feel the call to re-connect to source and remember who we are beyond the illusions of ego. His intention is to contribute to the conscious movement using group gatherings of devotional singing of Mantras and HeartSongs to bring us to a closer connection to source. Kevin believes from this state of being we can naturally and easily be kind and harmonious in our existence… He says: “It’s like a remembering. In a world where forgetting who we are has become normal, its destructive patterns have left us in an apparent life or death situation. We can remember together and support one another.” After being turned on to his amazing music during a yoga class in India, through Divine Grace, I connected with him in Bali, and was blessed to have this time with him. As a happy surprise, Kevin mentioned the Rainbow Gathering during the interview, and we had a deep discussion about what it is and what happens there. By Divine alignment, I’m publishing this interview from the South of France and tomorrow I am on my way to a Rainbow Gathering in Italy, my first International Gathering, and I’m so looking forward to it, and of course, I’ll share about it with you when I return. It’s been a handful of years since I’ve been to a gathering and the idea of being back in that loving vibration really makes my heart smile. I hope you enjoy this interview, and find some value in the medicine that Kevin is serving up. Make sure to check out the show notes to get links to his work. And hopefully, one day, you can find your way to a heartsong circle or retreat with him. I did make it to one of his offerings in bali before I left, where he walked us through the chakra toning exercise he talks about in the interview. I found it to be really deep and balancing, and I urge you to download it and give it a try yourself. Find the show notes at visionary-lifestyle.com/podcast Loving you, my Rainbow Warriors.

The Search Is on for a New Director at Portland’s Regional Arts and Culture CouncilDuring outgoing director Eloise Damrosch’s 30-year tenure, the Regional Arts and Culture Council has grown from a small Multnomah County bureau to a flourishing tri-county arts council. In the first of several stories, we look at the search for her replacement to oversee the $9 million arts office. It could be one of the most important hires for decades to come.Kent Nerburn’s Classic Novel, “Neither Wolf Nor Dog,” Hits the Big Screen and the U.K. - 6:36A notable writer has quietly relocated to Portland from Minnesota. Kent Nerburn has written and edited more than a dozen award-winning books and has been praised as one of the few authors who can respectfully bridge the gap between Native American and non-Native cultures. His 1994 book, “Neither Wolf Nor Dog” — about his travels with a Lakota elder — has become a cult classic, and now it’s been made into a movie that’s currently screening in Corvallis and opening in Portland Aug. 11 at Cinema 21, with dates still to come in Bend, Ashland, Salem, Pendleton, Klamath Falls and Sisters. (You can find confirmed theaters on the film's Facebook page.) It also recently made a splash in the U.K. due to an unlikely fan: musician Robert Plant.Suspended Moment: Two Artists Explore a Devastating Act of War - 21:25A Portland visual artist and a choreographer have come together for a performance work that bears witness to the nuclear annihilation of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and the lingering, complex Japanese and American narratives that have evolved since. Yukiyo Kawano is a Japanese visual artist living in Portland who grew up in Hiroshima, and choreographer and dancer Meshi Chavez is from Albuquerque. They’ve performed their collaboration, "Suspended Moment," in places with strong ties to atomic history, like Los Alamos, New Mexico, and the Hanford Site, and are now bringing it to Portland on Aug. 9, the 72nd anniversary of the bombing of Nagasaki, as part of an event organized by Oregon Physicians for Social Responsibility: Remembering Hiroshima and Nagasaki - from Despair to Hope.Portland State Chamber Choir Releases the First U.S. Album of Songs by Latvian Composer Eriks Esenwalds - 28:31The Portland State University Chamber Choir sings way above its weight class, regularly challenging professional choirs to top laurels at international competitions, and a lot of the credit goes to PSU’s dynamic choral director, Ethan Sperry. Sperry has formed creative partnerships with collaborators from around the globe, including one of Europe’s hottest young Mozarts, Eriks Esenwald.The Portland State Chamber Choir has premiered a number of Esenwald’s works over the years, and this week it is releasing the first U.S. album of his music, “The Doors of Heaven.”To Open or Not to Open? With Eclipse Tourists on the Way, Businesses in Grant County Have to Decide - 37:15Counties and towns in the path of the coming eclipse are all wrestling with two huge questions: Just how many people are going to show up for this massive celestial event, and how do we prepare for them? After all, travel officials are estimating 1 million people are headed to Oregon alone.Grant County is in the odd position of having experienced big influxes of people a couple of times, from large firefighting teams to the annual Rainbow Gathering earlier this summer. We checked in with business owners to hear what they’ve learned about staying open for the extra patrons — or not.Remembering Oregon Poet Laureate Peter Sears - 42:36Poet and teacher Peter Sears died July 20. Sears came to Oregon in 1974 and was active in the state’s literary community for more than 40 years, serving as Oregon’s seventh Poet Laureate from 2014 to 2016. One of his goals as Poet Laureate was to broaden the base of the “global linguistic community” — instead of reading by himself as he traveled the state, he sought out people creating works in their native languages to share the stage and read with him. Elizabeth Rusch’s New Piano-Themed Children’s Book: "The Music of Life" - 47:01Once upon a time, a few hundred years ago, there were two kinds of keyboards: soft ones and loud ones. If you wanted to play loudly and softly on the same instrument, you were out of luck. Then one man in 17th century Florence changed that. Portland author Elizabeth Rusch tells his story in her new children’s book, “The Music of Life.” She and pianist collaborator David Saffert joined OPB’s Dave Miller to talk about the book and to illustrate what makes a piano so special.

The medium is the message.

Hymn came into the studio to talk to Freddy about his poetry and his journey to find enlightenment. Through tai chi and the Rainbow Gathering, Hymn turned from a destructive life. His poetry is a part of him and it is strong and immediately engaging. It is clearly born from his own hard-won experience and is a powerful expression of a self. If you’re interested in finding out more of Hymn’s story then there is a film you can watch about him (link’s on this page) or go speak to the guy writing poetry on the pavement round Camden Town.

Sound-Poem written at Grassington Rainbow Gathering 2006 while the rain came down... Time in a Tent in a rainstorm can be strangely comforting, especially if it's leak free and cosy, a womb within which to listen to the sounds on the roof as rain taps rhythms and quiet thoughts glide down the pen. Dr.Emoto's work on Water Crystals and Sandra Ingerman's work Healing Acid Water influences the author and Music is with us Everywhere. Recorded at the Kirkcaldy YMCA within the CBAL Radio Project tutored by Craig Harkness. We are One/ Rain - Recorded in Kirkcaldy 2010 by Me. Edited by Harky, Baz & Iain, Shuggy's men at the Y.

In 1516, Sir Thomas More published the book, “Utopia,” a word he coined for an ideal, imaginary island nation. His book describes a perfect socio-political-legal society that’s free of poverty and suffering. Even though utopia comes from Greek words meaning “no place” and indicates that More considered it an impossible goal, groups throughout history have tried to create idyllic, peaceful communities. On this edition of Peace Talks Radio, we explore an on-going utopian experiment, the Rainbow Gathering-a loosely-knit group of anarchists holding temporary gatherings in remote rural areas since 1972. Host Suzanne Kryder interviews Dr. Michael Niman, author of People of the Rainbow: A Nomadic Utopia, about the group’s efforts to practice nonviolent, nonhierarchical cooperative living with each other and the earth. The program includes interviews and first-hand reports from Suzanne’s participation in the 38th annual Rainbow Gathering in New Mexico, July 2009.
