5. Hippies believe:

• that people should be free;
• that freedom can be achieve
only by changing the
internal structure of the
soul;
• the beauty and freedom are
identical to each other and
that the implementation
one and the other is a
purely spiritual problem;
• that spiritual community an ideal form of the hostel
• that all who think otherwise
are mistaken.

6. Lifestyle

• They don’t comfort to
society’s standards,
showing this by dressing
in unusual clothes, having
long hair and living in
groups together.
• For them loving means
accepting others as they
are, giving freedom to do
as one pleases and to go
where the flow takes you.

7. Appearance

• It is not so difficult to look
like a traditional hippie ~
a pair of worn-out blue
jeans, long hair tied with
strings and a couple of
decorative chains. They
have noticed that if you
are wearing your long
hair and your jeans are
old, you have easier time
on the road.
