along with youuuuu.....

Do you know about the Rainbow Caravan which set out from Mexico three years
ago, destination Tierra del Fuego?  Had a member in one of my courses, while
they were camped out in Manaus. They are actors, circus artists, and shamans
( well at least they do shaman-like stuff).  They stop off in the most
incredible hard-to-get-to places in the jungle and on the hills, and camp
out and generally make waves with music ,  theater, but also serious
workshops about  reforestation,  health,  non-violence, etc.  People hop on
and off.  They have no fixed income,  eat when they are offered food, share
everything.  Someone gave them a great circus tent... (They travel in two
busses)...

Waiting for them to get a bit nearer ( the last e-mail was from the plateaus
of Colombia, after having spent some time near Medellin)  to hop on for a
while...
