History and attractions of Colorado Springs, CO

It all started in August of 1871 when General William Palmer laid out the city at the base of majestic Pikes Peak, with Acacia Park at its center, the only high quality resort town between Mississippi River and California.В Palmer set in motion the aspiration that would create the unique place, jewel of the West, called Colorado Springs. In July 2006, Money magazine ranked Colorado Springs the best place to live in the big city category, which includes cities with 300,000 or more people. Colorado Springs population now is around 450,000 people, and close to 560,000 to include the suburbs. The city is located just east of the geographic center of the State and 61 miles (98km) south of theВ Colorado State Capitol in Denver. At 6,040 feet (1840 meters) Colorado Springs sits over one mile above sea level, though some areas of the city are significantly higher. At the end of 19th century town was nicknamed "Little London" because of many English tourists who came. Within two yearsВ Colorado SpringsВ attracted many U.S. and international health-savvy tourists seeking the high altitude and dry climate.

Ayahuasca Shaman тЂ“ Javier Arevalo Interviewed in the Amazon Rainforest Peru

Spirituality is at the centre of the Ayahuasca experience. Purification and cleansing of body, mind, and spirit in a shamanic ceremony can be the beginning of a process of profound personal and spiritual discovery. This process can continue indefinitely even if one never drinks Ayahuasca again. We believe that by seriously looking at the way Ayahuasca is used we can improve our life experience and benefit more from this medicine. This article is extracted from the original interview by Howard G Charing and Peter Cloudsley which appeared in Sacred Hoop Magazine.
