I believe that a video is available of one of the great stories told about 4 guides that took 12 granolas (clients) down the river so that they could "transform" and bond into "oneness". The trip took place during high water, and the guides were outstanding at trying to keep the "corporates" alive, and making them feel as though they were intimate with the river and were very confident boatmen (and boatwomen) even though they had not one clue what was around the next bend because the river was a whole different "monster" at such a high level. At lunches and night time they would all sit in a big circle and chant to transform! It was absolutely hilarious, but then in order to understand, it has to be told by the boatmen. I will try to get my hands on the video!
