A Double Rainbow During 4th of July AUM circle in New Mexico 2009

Montana 2000 This particular year I helped start a kitchen in Bus Village, "Au Naturale Café". Food is free, no money to be exhanged--trade circle's the thing, lotsa hugs and full respect all 'round. Naked people abound as a natural way of being, and not some love-in sorta thing, respect accompanies the Rainbow Tribe's ways!!! A modern bunch who lives more like the ideals of the saints of nigh any tradition you'll likely not find (with the partial exception that celibacy is not a general rule, though many sometimes go that route, and though appropriate cuddle-puddles sometimes happen, this ain't no orgy).

Big and skinny dance naked, covered in the mud, yet no one needs feel self-conscious here (New Mexico 2009), brothers and sistas, mommas n papas n little ones too, lovin' and protectin' eachother with righteous respect and all greated with "Welcome Home" when reaching the Gathering, whether in the Americas, Australia, Asia or Europe, Africa or some island in-between.
