A whole host of info and links to Pagan and Christian beliefs. A lot about spirituality and nature. Communality and celebrations.
They say:
“We participate in dedication and initiation ceremonies. We celebrate life's transitions with coming of age and croning rituals. If Paganism is a celebration of life then the Rites of Passage we participate in are the mile markers of that celebration.”

Facebook community site celebrating the vibes and music and images of the 60s, especially the festival scene. Woodstock, Isle of Wight, Monterey and Altamont and more. And the couple from the Woodstock cover are still together all these years on. Awesome and all probably highly illegal!

Here’s a Facebook public site that tries to keep the spirit alive.
