Wow.. Such a beautiful time I had with people I have never met before in this lifetime. This small event was held at Turtle Island Ecology Center in Pierce, Colorado. I chose to volunteer during the event and had such a blast. I do admit being nervous not really knowing anyone there but that soon changed each day. The music and the people around me really started changing my internal reality.
The first day I was there, I attended a permaculture action day where I got to help plant trees into the ground.
It felt great really amping up the energy for the following days. From what I observed, I thought of how wonderful it would be to have something similar like this at festivals and events in the near future. The people are there, so why not put all of that extra energy into making this world a better place. People are more willing to help than you think, all you really need to do is ask!
The following days were great as we cooked food, danced our hearts out to local artists, and gathered around for some very informative talks such as Warren's talk about spajerics. Spagerics is a form of alchemy where one combines the body, spirit, and soul. This translates to the mineral salts, alcohol extract, and the essential oils contained in the plant.
"The word was coined by Paracelsus in the 1500's to describe the extraction purification and recombination of plant constituents. This method later led to the birth of many modern day pharmaceuticals." ~ http://www.evolvedalchemy.com/
