Radical Rainbow Seed Sharing
In the weekend I had the joy of attending my first Rainbow Serpent Festival. It’s one of the biggest remaining trance festivals in the world and it was pretty freaking cool. Probably a wee bit trendy for me, but hey, being able to get out in the bush, catch up with friends and check out some sunrises is never an opportunity to turn down.
What surprised me was the absolute lack of consciousness, both in the music and in the people. I came out of the festival at the end thinking I shouldn’t slag off baby boomers any more. Not only did I see fuck all of anything encouraging people to rethink our existence as human beings on this planet but quite the opposite. It was a giant consumer fest. From the pay showers in town on the way in to the refill strappy drink bottles..
It was billed to me as a place for cultural exchange but it’s not really what I saw. And don’t even get me started on the ‘Ta-dah!’ trance…
Anyway, while I was out there I was keen to spread some love and spread some good conscious vibes. So I decided to make some seed packs to share. I made about twenty of these packs and stuck them in little nooks and crannys where I knew people would find them.
They each contained three beans and this little note:
Hopefully some of the good little consumers found them and it awakened some brain cells. Especially the woman I handed one to out the car window on our way out. I think she thought I was giving her drugs. Hope she was pleasantly surprised.
I do have a couple left so any Melburnians out there who want one, email me your address and I’ll flick one your way. Sorry I can’t send them any further than that, being plant material and all…
And here’s some more Rainbow pics!

Funny about that hey?! I found the biggest consumers are the Yippies or Trustafarians – Anyway, what are the seeds? Would you be interested in an exchange at some point? We have some heirloom seeds from the veggie patch at home, I’m sure we could send some back if there’s any you don’t have already
Keep up the good work!

Awe-freaking-some. Seeds not beans huh? Impressive.

of course you’re getting some! oh our poor gardens! Mine gave up today. It just stood up and walked off, the poor thing.
Ha. Yep, I thought it was an awesome double entendre. I don’t often come up with those!
Feck. I mean, I don’t often get those. It wasn’t me that came up with it.
HA HA that’s so funny. I was wondering what you were on about! Wonder how many people I confused over the weekend…
