Take me along,dum dum dum dum dum, take me along dum dum dum dum, take me
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...
