The intention of the You Speak series on Modern Hippie TV (http://www.modernhippietv.com) is to open up new lines of dialogue that will help to promote greater unity and understanding within our community and around the world. The premise is based on bringing together a small group of people from different walks of life, asking them all a series of evocative questions, and then letting them build upon one another’s answers.
