	New age travellers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		New age travellers or Peace Convoy are a peculiarly British social phenomenon consisting of a group of people who often espouse New age and Neopagan beliefs, and who travel between music festivals and fairs in order to live in a community with others who hold similar beliefs.
		Their transport and homes consist of vans, lorries, buses and caravans, usually devoid of the necessary road tax and often painted in bright colours with slogans and often driven in convoys.
		The movement has, in their opinion, 'suffered persecution' by the British government since the mid eighties, beginning with the authorities' attempts to prevent camps at Stonehenge at midsummer and the Battle of the Beanfield in 1985 -- the largest mass civil arrest in English history.

	New Age - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		New Age introduced a think tank style of social interaction, which results in a synergy--all involved in a meaningful event are left with more clarity, higher and more focused than before.
		Thus New Age adherents tend to emphasize a relativist approach to truth, often referring to the Vedic statement of "one truth, but many paths," the mainstay of Hinduism, which idea is also found in the later Zen Buddhist spiritual dictum of "many paths, one mountain".
		Many New Age phenomena are not expected to be repeatable in the scientific sense, since they are presumed to be apparent only to the receptive mind; for example, telepathy may not be achievable by a skeptical mind, since a skeptical mind is not pre-conditioned to expect the phenomenon to exist.

	New Age Travellers
		The diverse body of New Age could be described as a diffuse reality view, a discourse or as Gardiner states in relation to ideology as “a material segment of reality…embodied in some signifying practice or semiotic material (word, gestures etc.)” (Gardiner: 1994 P71).
		This culminated in the so-called ‘Battle of the Beanfield’ when a convoy of travellers attempting to reach Stonehenge for the summer solstice of 1986 were forced into a field by police and attacked, vehicles were confiscated and 500 were arrested (the largest mass civil arrest in English history).
		I critique the New Age on the micro-level as a method for legitimising and externalising inner-voice {4}, and on the macro-level as a strategy of resistance to the epistemological and moral precepts of bourgeois individualism, what Bakhtin described as “the culture of essential and inescapable solitude” (Gardiner; 1994 P72).

		New Age and neo-pagan beliefs might see Stonehenge as a sacred place of worship which can conflict with its more mainstream role as an archaeological site, tourist attraction, or marketing tool.
		A consequence of the end of the festival was the violent confrontation between the police and new age travellers that became known as the Battle of the Beanfield when police blockaded a convoy of travellers to prevent them from approaching Stonehenge.
		Stonehenge Aotearoa in the Wairarapa region of New Zealand is a modern adaption aligned with the astronomy seen from the Antipodes, it was built by the Phoenix Astronomical Society from wood and sprayed concrete.

		Besides cracking down on squatters, New Age travellers and ravers, the CJA bans most forms of protest and strips away the defendant's right to silence.
		Police may also impound the travellers' vehicles--confiscating or even destroying the travellers' homes along with all their possessions and means of support.
		Travellers have had their homes petrol-bombed and blasted with shotguns, and had their dogs maimed or blinded by angry farmers.

	About the Zippy Movement
		The most famous incident was the Beanfield Massacre in 1985, where several hundred travellers were driven into a field near Stonehenge by police and army, their ancient lorries and caravans trashed, pets rounded up and destroyed, children and women harassed, and all men beaten and arrested.
		Travellers formed convoys of up to 100 lorries to move around the country afterwards, from fair to fair selling food, crafts, and drugs as they went.
		The pagan roots revival that the travellers brought to the zippie movement is fundamentally at odds with the government's insistence on Judeo-Christian pub culture and 11 p.m.

		The new Travellers now have a history of their own and that society has its writers (Earle, 1994 and in Dearling, 1998) and artists such as Kate Evans (1998) and Gubby (in Dearling, 1998) and photographers, artists, musicians, and crafts-people (for instance, Big Green Gathering and Squall).
		As new members join the ever-widening Traveller fraternity, the lifestyle of traditional Gypsies as well as new Travellers from the past decades will help to inform their lives, in addition to the positive and negative motivations that these individuals themselves bring to their travelling.
		New Travellers, like traditional Travellers and Gypsies, should be assisted, and not in a patronising way, to make their own representations and make sense of their own lives and lifestyle.

		The best we can say is that there were clashes between the police and the travellers, that the latter's' vehicles were badly damaged during these clashes, and that the police succeeded in keeping the convoys from moving on to the monument.
		That the New Age Travellers, in their struggles with the representatives of the law, allow us to trace out the margins, to indicate the frontier between our lives and the social death to which they have been relegated, by the same token allows us to avoid more embarrassing questions.
