Tipi Valley

It rather distracts from the true message of Tipi Valley which is yes it is possible to live gently and sustainably on this beautiful planet without wrecking it.:)

Surely the true message of Tipi Valley is that you can go to Wales and colonise some land. How come you call yourselves "Valleys folk" when most of you come from Buckinghamshire, Sussex etc? How come you don't colonise a field in your own country? Aren't there any nice fields in England?

All these foreigners coming over here, stealing our fields! Send em all home!!

I like foreigners - the more the merrier I reckon. But you middle-class English down-sizers; and wig-wam dwellers should find a nice field in Hampshire or somewhere.
 
Of course there are lots of lovely fields in England, there're lovely fields all over the UK, but we always get turfed off them :( You should be pleased that your Welsh authorities are a bit more laid back about this sort of thing :)

Ive been a traveller for years mate and I aint a middle class downsizer, straight off a Salford Council Estate me, I understand where your comin from though:)
 
tipi valley is a place on earth that reflects all aspects of the way humans should and shouldn't live. it is a growing community which spans 4/5 generations and the respect that the people who truly live there belive in show to the earth is a thing most people in their lives cannot find within the constraints of everyday life. this is an in built beleif system which anyone of us can tap into if we just give it an open try. AUM SHIVA!
 
It means a few things, all hail to shiva, it als used to be something that Sadhu Hindu priests said before smoking a chillum full of of charas.

Aum = all
 
Class A drugs?? I couldant even get any weed up there ffs.

Go easy on portia... she's a nice girl with a few head problems, she wouldant have purposly caused any problems for anyone, we all make mistakes like.

peace
 
Hail to Shiva? So is this a Hindu commune? I thought it was meant to be an Anarchist commune?

Or are you just trying to be all 'new age' on me? For the record let's give that infected 'holy cow' in Skanda Vale a bolt in the head, instant cure! Lawls.
 
You know some time ago, I was acquainted with a homeless guy whose name eludes me at present.

He taught me some interesting things. I had holes in my shoes. The rain would get in. My socks would get nasty and wet.

One day, he told me on Queen Street to take off my shoes. He then picked up some discarded cardboard that way lying outside of a shop. Got a biro and drew round my feet and then cut two foot-shaped cardboard cut-outs with a stanley knife.

He then put the cardboard in my shoes.

He said, "This may help. An old hobo's trick"

And I have used the trick ever since. Until I got some new boots.

We used to busk together.

One day he headed up to Tipi Valley. Before he went he entrusted me with a map that showed how to get there. He advised me if I ever went I would need to take a peace offering and resources for the community.
 
ive known a load a people who went to tippi valley to live ( in the 8ts so maybe differrent now).. then came back! 'like suburbia' was one comment that they all said .. men sit in the sweats smoking and women do all the cooking .. they all thought it was pretty backward ... they all said the only time people came together was when the postie van arrived with the cheques!
 
I might have cottoned on to this a bit late in the day... but what say someone edit Rik's well-meant message which has somehow included all the dodgy bits you took out of georgia's.... sorry, I mean portia's, original message?

Just an idea....
