Before visiting Sunrise Ranch, Monica and I had called them to schedule a tour and interview session

Abundance EcoVillage

Outside the downtown of Fairfield, Iowa (centered around the Maharishi Institute and Transcendental Meditation) is a small community called Abundance EcoVillage. This was actually the primary reason we stopped through, though TM (Transcendental Meditation) became much more thought provoking in hindsight.

We called in and scheduled an interview with a family that is currently living ...

We met Deva and Phalguni as they led the Krishna camp kitchen at the Michigan Regional Rainbow Gathering.

We've since witnessed them ...

I find myself surrounded more and more by brothers and sisters who are doing things "unconventionally". Maybe the norm is slowly changing, maybe I'm stuck in an oasis of gypsies. Either way, I'm happy to have these people in my presence. I find that being surrounded by inspiring people is a great catalyst ...

Rainbow Gathering- Exploring Self Sustainable Communty

I haven't updated in a while. Dennis and I have spent most of 3 weeks offline and away from our phones. We unexpectedly ended up at the Rainbow Gathering in the Manistee National forest in Michigan. Haven't heard of it? It's a bunch of hippies hanging out in the woods. Building kitchens ...

Dennis and I have been drinking Reverse Osmosis water for well over a year in an attempt to free our bodies of fluoride and other chemicals found in drinking water. ( NOTE: Fluoride is ...
