A UK social clique. Wore dreadlocks at uni but then got rid of them for their job in Ethical Investment (the ambitious ones) / Yoga Therapy (the bums).
All went to public school. Bryanston / Bedales are main feeders.
Easily identified by their dream catcher earrings,suede Inuit boots, Goa suntan and self-aware serenity when they tell you their self-purifying Bhakti Yoga seminar they attended.

All LOVE psychadelic trance, and congregate at the UK's Glade festival every year, bringing an extra tent to house their assorted outfits for the weekend.
