Boulder Colorado – a spiritual haven

Or as I heard someone say at our event in Chitauqua Park “Only in Boulder can such a thing happen”

Well, we have proven that indeed it is not only in Boulder such an event can happen. We have been putting on this demonstration of love all over Europe and USA now, and the effects are still the same. Everyone participating get’s it and feel that the world needs more of what we are doing.

But first I want to describe the last part of our journey in more detail. We went from Twin Falls to Salt Lake City, expecting to have an event with our contact person there, but, since we felt otherwise in the moment, we continued to Laramie, and stayed there for a few days to recharge our personal batteries. I can see that we needed the time to get organized within ourselves to be able to move on to Steve without too much emotional baggage from our previous events and experiences. We had decided that we wanted to bring everything we had heard and felt on the tour to Steve, so he could get a firsthand
description of how Humanity’s Team USA is doing, and at the same time be aware of the issues that people are dealing with.

Our stay at Steves started with a warm welcome at his family’s house. Steve was in the middle of lunch, when we arrived, and we were invited to partake right away. Steve had arranged a party for us in the evening, with friends and people from Humanity’s Team Colorado, as well as new contacts in the spiritual world. Steve had booked a chef – Jeff – to make the food for the party, and it was all marvelous – Thanks Jeff.

The day after the party we went to the Chautauqua park to have our first event. We went up on the hiking trail to meet people to hug. They said things like “you don’t want to hug me – I’m sweaty” and then we would reply that we wanted to give hugs to all people – sweaty or not. Dylan – Steves son turned out to be a great hugger, and he soon became the favourite for hugs.

We went back into the park to do laughter yoga, sing and do the angel shower. We had a lot of fun with Nannette and her son Casey, who were really trying to have a laughter fit. We also met Steves aunt, and more people from Humanity’s Team Colorado. The event had been announced in the paper, so we also had new people participate, and of those, especially two women were very colorful and having a fun time. They brought us a lot of food and cake for sharing, and as always I reminded myself that they didn’t have to do that – that the people we meet are truly giving and accepting, as well as curious about us and what we represent. So far the lovetour has built a whole lot of gratitude in me.

The next day Nannette had planned for us to go into the rocky mountains and do some sightseeing. Steve took us to Bridal Veil Falls hiking, and we began a 3.2 miles walk to see the falls. We had agreed to go back after 2-3 hours, but when we were about 1 mile from the falls and the time was up, we all decided to go all the way to see the falls. It was a beautiful experience, and we even climbed the falls to see it’s origin.

Monday was set aside for yet another event in downtown Boulder – free hugs galore. We gave and received a huge amount of hugs, and again Dylan was the main hugger with Steve to help him. Thanks a lot Dylan!

The rest of the time at Steve and Stefanies house were spent talking about Humanity’s Team versus all the input we had been given during our tour of USA. We talked about the Love Tour, the joy we met, the urge to be with likeminded people, the frustrations and troubles of not finding what you seek right away, Celebration of Life events, The Global Village project, Spiritual activism and many other things. What we all cherished very much is Steves genuine interest in knowing what we feel and how we saw the issues that Humanity’s Team is dealing with, along with comments from all the people we met. Thank you for staying open to input Steve!

I want to thank Nannette, Casey, Stefanie, Steve, Jeff and the kids Dylan and Sophie for a wonderful stay in Colorado. We felt at home, and are now rested to do the last couple of events in Kansas City, as well as finishing driving the last 1500 miles of our journey. Thanks also to you for having read this far – we are not completely finished yet, so stay tuned.
