How this will go down:
We will open our Adventure with a dinner together on Friday, June 5th at Heavy Dirt Farm in Davis. Then Saturday and Sunday will be training (required for all new Superheroes), where we will be mostly working on group stuff and what it means to be a Superhero.
When we are ready we will move on from training and become living Superheroes in the world at large! We can start by helping out local projects in Davis and at Heavy Dirt Farm, but soon enough we will head out! We will hit the road with no destination in mind; we'll open our ears, eyes, and insides to the floes of the Universe. We will go where we are called, sleep where we sleep, and live a great adventure, serving in any way we can. The one rule I can think of right now is that we must trust.
Rides generally last between two weeks and a month, and this one could be no different. (SuperStretch and some others need to leave after two weeks, unfortunately, but they would love it if the ride continued on without them)
To cover food costs, we ask that everyone contribute $7 a day; however, if you can't, then don't worry, the organism will provide . . .
