Formed: 1995 Established: 1996
Rainbow Peace Caravan
Mobil,
Mexico
(We are a mobile caravan travelling in buses.)
Rainbow warriers speaking out against the war in Iraq.
 We are an international group of artists and ecologists traveling since 1996, and we have recently completed our mission to get from Mexico to Tierra del Fuego (Firelands), South America, in our own converted buses. By networking with indigenous, ecological, and alternative groups we create bridges and plant seeds. Multimedia theater, workshops and courses, conferences, audiovisuals, bioregional gatherings, and ceremonial villages are the means by which we promote our message of peace, hope, unity, and harmony with la Madre Tierra. We are a mobile ecovillage experiment, bringing practical solutions to people interested in creating more sustainable lives. We learn, teach, motivate, share, and inspire. We live simply, communally, and joyfully, and we are dedicated to communal and personal growth in our journey. Now that we have arrived to the end of the Earth, we have decided to stay on the path of peace and keep on trucking! Currently we are working with the government of Brasil to fortalize cultural projects throughout the country. After one year in the "Live Culture" project, we look forward to doing the same in the following years that come. More information is available at www.cultura.gov.br
