Date: June 23, 2009 05:33PM It seems like every Raw event is different, and
that a lot depends on the location, the cost of the event, and the nearby ammenities. These seem to affect what type of people attend. The latest Raw Spirit festival was a big disappointment for me. Mostly because I was coming from the Midwest and getting to Santa Barbara involved flying to Phoenix to pick up my car and then driving to the coast. The cost of this was high as it was, and then you throw in the cost of attending the festival and it became quite the expense. Then when I got there I felt out of place because the crowd consisted of mostly what I called the HBG crowd (i.e., Hippies, Beatniks, and Gypsies.) It was then that I realized just how much closer I am to the mainstream than I realized... Now I like camping out just as much as the next guy, but most attendees at this event camp out as a way of life. Not that there's anything wrong with that, as the people attending were (as always) super nice, but I didn't really have much in comnon with most attendees. (Unlike a lot of the other Raw festivals I've been to.) And the advertised speakers were few to be found without explanation. (Maybe because they knew there wouldn't be that many attendees?) So these events are hit and miss, depending on your own preferences and ideals. See pics at: [vegetarian.meetup.com] Steve [www.meetup.com] [www.rawgosia.com] Re: anyone been?

Date: September 02, 2009 04:03PM I attended the Raw & Living Spirit Retreat in Mollala, OR, this past weekend.
I thought it was great. One of the speakers was Dr. Graham, and I sat through all of his workshops, and learned alot. The food was also pretty darned good. Live Well, Laugh Often, Love Much We are all in this together! Namasté Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
