Hey Neil, I love the Om concept and would love to go there (and help as a volunteer). Don't let the city kid get on your nerves :)! He might be heading to some hippie do like Glastonbury in the UK and then tell his yuppie mate how wicked it was to camp in the Somerset fields shouting bollox! Off his 'ead on shrooms.
