The Ewer Collective

The Ewer Collective is a mobile commune comprised of New Age artists and performers who have gathered to bring about the new era, the Age of Aquarius. The Ewer Collective is made up primarily of artists, musicians, poets and dancers who are disillusioned with mainstream culture and what they view as the commercial exploitation of creativity. In the summer if 1974, they have decided to follow along with the Sunshine River Music Fair.
The leader of the collective, a charismatic woman named Maya, believes that the Age of Aquarius will be a time of peace, love, and understanding. She teaches her followers that they can achieve enlightenment by living a life of simplicity and harmony with music, poetry, and dance. The collective's members live a simple life, traveling from town to town, festival to festival, performing live shows. During their down time, they spend their days meditating, practicing yoga, and chanting mantras.
Some people believe that the group is a dangerous cult that is brainwashing its members. Others believe that the Ewer Collective is simply a harmless group of weirdos who are trying to find their own way in the world. The Ewer's beliefs are often seen as being naïve or unrealistic, but they also offer a sense of hope and optimism. The collective's members believe that they are living in a special time, and that they have a special role to play in bringing about the Age of Aquarius.
As they travel the countryside, they produce beautifully illustrated flyers and tracts encouraging their audiences to learn more about the Collective. They are constantly on the lookout for new members, especially anyone with creative talents. Many of the other acts traveling as part of the Sunshine River Music Fair find the Collective to be a bit annoying, with their constant proselytizing. 
However, the group is not without its advantages. Some of the members come from wealthy families, and others are unquestionably talented performers. Several dancers within the Collective tend to turn up at others' shows, and they're good at getting the crowd to lose their inhibitions and really get into the spirit of things. They also tend to draw an audience interested in unconventional experiences, which has some appeal to certain folks within the festival.
