A-La-Kesh
United States
(Mobil, North America)
 A mobile group of people (varies in size) living nomadically in North America. We are vegan, mostly raw at times, and welcome anyone with an open mind and a good heart. Pets are welcome as long as they get along with everyone else (other pets included). If you would like to join us for a time, email me and I will give you our current location. When you are with us, we ask that you eat only vegan food. Individuals with trade skills are always welcome, as we set up markets in towns to get some extra money.
Music is a part of our life that we love and look forward to, so if you have an instrument please feel free to bring it along with any music you have written or fancy.
We live, mostly, in forests and state parks, so knowledge of primal living or camping is great but anyone with a willing spirit is welcome. Peace to you and yours, and blessings.
*Update: As of July 2007, A-La-Kesh has formally disbanded. Inquiries are still welcome and accepted.
