Power of Pilgrimage

August 27th, 2010

Here at CLEU, we like cyclic rhythms, such as daily, weekly, monthly, or annually. At this time of year, we make our annual pilgrimage to the Black Rock desert of Nevada. We all enjoy the excitement of reconnecting with family and friends as we prepare for another year of Cleu camp.

Seeding Cleu Circles

March 13th, 2010

The CLEU is here to help you find people with a clue, so you can support your shared values and celebrate your human rites of music, art, dance, drum, song, and story. Over the last 10 years, we’ve given out over 10,000 Cleus, so it’s ever more likely that you can find a person with a Cleu near you. As a meme, the Cleu continues to spread its message: you are the clue.

Our mission is to seed Cleu circles in every community. We’d like to help you find each other. Just click on CleuViews to sign up for our newsletter with your email and zipcode.

Dreaming of Cleu village

September 29th, 2009

Once a year, the Cleu crew goes on pilgrimage together to the most crazy beautiful, peaceful city on earth. That would be Black Rock City, an incredible place created by some 40,000 participants in the Burning Man festival that happens every year during the week before Labor Day. For me, it’s been a recurring dream since 1999, a pilgrimage to a place where imagination rules and people find meaning in the simple act of giving. The 2009 theme of Burning Man was Evolution, an invitation to examine the past, contemplate the present, and envision the future.

Dancing in the Forest

July 5th, 2009

What can you do to have more community in your life? Enjoy a weekend encampment with people who share your values. Go somewhere beautiful where you meet your friends dancing in the forest. A place where you can dream of a sustainable future with transformative, joyous community. Drum, sing, and laugh around the campfire. Eat delicious food from friends and family. You and the people in your circle can make it happen.

Celebration…. a clue to creating community!

January 10th, 2008

Enjoying the human rites of music, art, dance, drum, song, and story is a sure way for your group to experience At-Onement, both individually and together. You don’t have to have any “talent” to get this feeling. Human rites exist deep within our genome– they are what makes us human. Drum and dance, music and song, story and art, have expressed our joys and sorrows since the beginnings of village life. Our spirituality takes root in these indigenous practices, unifying all people through the universal language of celebration.

Cleu Valentines

February 23rd, 2007

Ever since Valentine’s Day, people from all over the country have been contacting us to get a Cleu. By following the clues, we finally learned that a contestant on a national TV show had worn the Cleu, won the show, and then posted more information about it on his myspace blog. We were thrilled to broaden our outreach through this fortunate connection, and are very grateful to the man who wore the Cleu and then told his friends about it. More »
