if you ever lived on the Tennessee Farm or one of its satellites, or you have been heavily influenced by Stephen Gaskin or by "Spiritual Midwifery," you might be interested in a great blog being put together byf ormer Farm heavy( Caravan 1971 to the Changeover in1983)Cliff Figallo, who was also one of the innovators of WELL.com .

it;d be cool to talk with others about these influential but "different" hippies. (no welfare,no adopted Sanskrit or nature names, no sex outside marriage,but lots of tie-dye,talk about"energy,"community living,innovation...)
