Dearest John & Katherine,

I came across your Innerrave site and I was inspired by your words and positive vibrations. I have been raving for many years and recently discovered Buddhism and was amazed at the similarities to the rave culture.

Unfortunately commercialization is destroying the ideals of PLUR and the few people who believe in it are losing hope wrapped up in the samsara of life. I am currently organizing collectives of people who want to keep the positive energy alive and continue to spread the love and unity of the vibe and the meaning of plur.

I was curious to know if you currently have chapters of individuals who share these visions and are striving to spread this idea of enlightened education to the masses. I'm very interested to join in or help create such an entity that would perpetuate enlightened thinking and love to end the evil that is plaguing our world. I know there are people just like me striving to make things better but floundering with lack of leadership and discouragement in the face of adversity. I hope that we can collaborate on some ideas to share this enlightened state with others and share the vibrations of love, unity, respect and peace.

I look forward to hearing from you both, take care.

S.L.U.R.P. (spreading love unity respect and peace)

Dave

Hi Dave

Good question! Katherine and I are also involved in organizing locally. We are on the board of directors of the Deep Red Collective, a non-profit society registered here in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.

Our goal is to host a safe environment with an uplifted vibe for mature folks, really good house music, and a sense of community. At the moment we have our own venue, Club Red with yummy house music every Saturday and a variety of styles on Fridays.
