- I've heard that Santa Fe has the highest incidence of crystal and
- alternative healers but I bet Cambridge could win on sheer VARIETY of
- "alternative" religions and therapies. Seen recently:
-
- Shiatzu, Polarity Therapy, Bach Flowers, Crystals, Druids, Pagans,
- Witches, Zoroasto-whatisms, Gurdjeiff/Ouspensky school s(2 or 3
- flavors) Kundalini Hatha and Kripalu Yoga. Tai Chi and Rolfing,
- Zone therapy and Music therapy. Lots of Men's and Women's
- singing, drumming, inner-child-awakenings, and now Wild Women Rituals,
- Ancient Egyptians (I don't know WHAT they are advocating) vegetarian
- society, Macrobiotics, Wheat Grass therapy, Aromatherapy,
- This is NOT counting any varieties of martial arts, any varieties
- of new-age variants on Christianity, Judiaism, Hunduism, Siqhism (sp?)
- Taoism or Buddhism, or the Scientologists, Christian Scientists, or
- Science of Objectivismists, the Philosophical society or the
- Objectivists. And I won't mention the Ravers, the Cyberpunks or the
- Skinheads-for-Peace....
- We've even recently aquired a huge flock of young Mormons with little
- black name tags...I assume they are missionaries amongst the pagans.
