    The Te Wairua Festival was held on Ralph Brock's farm at Owhango, in the King Country (N.Z.). The photograph from the organisers was origionally published in "Mushroom" in 1983 and is probably from January 1981. The last Te Wairua Festival was held in January 1984. Festivals here ceased when Ralph Brock died. Te Wairua appears to have been advertised by word of mouth and later in "Mushroom", was limited to 300 people and lasted for one week. The programme included a variety of workshops and seminars and performances. Those involved in organising the event run an alternative healing centre in Taupo today. Te Wairua was "clothing optional" as were the much bigger Nambassa Festivals and the Festivals of Plenitude held around the same time. The photograph shows the encampment and is designed to give a flavour of the event as it was taken for publicity purposes. Points of interest are : the central camp fire : the kids zone : the tents including a tipi : a small preforming stage : the bush setting : a group including several without clothing. It should be noted that as a rule women were more barebreasted rather than naked. At the smaller festivals casual nudity was more prevalent proportionwise than the bigger events though in terms of numbers the bigger events had more nudity. Social nudity at these type of festivals was very popular amongst the post-war generation. It seems to be taken up with a greater enthusiasm in N.Z. than elsewhere in the West because of the absence of social pressure against nudity. Gerald. :)

    I sing the song
    because I love the man
    I know that some
    of you don't understand
    Milk-blood
    to keep from running out.

    I've seen the needle
    and the damage done
    A little part of it in everyone
    But every junkie's
    like a settin' sun.

    Gimme head with hair
    Long beautiful hair
    Shining, gleaming,
    Streaming, flaxen, waxen

    Give me down to there hair
    Shoulder length or longer
    Here baby, there mama
    Everywhere daddy daddy

    Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
    Flow it, show it
    Long as God can grow it
    My hair

    Let it fly in the breeze
    And get caught in the trees
    Give a home to the fleas in my hair
    A home for fleas
    A hive for bees
    A nest for birds
    There ain't no words
    For the beauty, the splendor, the wonder
    Of my...

    Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
    Flow it, show it
    Long as God can grow it
    My hair

    That is nice. There is an old song called "The hippy hippy shake" I believe she qualifies. Thanks - Peace & Love - Dudley
