For some historical perspective, in the late '70s, I was producing a conference in L.A. to ignite a community but people were scared to be real with one another. I just posted a report on that era, and this is from that, about the conference: "It was to explore 'community,' among the people in Los Angeles who were at the forefront of the Human Potential Movement. Although everyone wanted closeness, the teachers and authors I spent several months working with planning the event were entrenched in separation. To counter that, I spent four years producing ELF Enterprises Unlimiting. The motto was, 'Put the elf back in self,' and ELF stood for Enlightenment, Love and Fun." Play was a modality that changed everything. Give people a costume, and, when free of being who they think they are, it's amazing what happens to them!
