The tour was originally meant to publicize the second edition of his book "New Age Politics" (1978, originally 1976); however, it soon also became an organizing tour for the New World Alliance (1979–1983), a New Age or "transformational" political organization based in Washington, D.C. (See Jessica Lipnack and Jeffrey Stamps, "Networking: The First Report and Directory", 1982, pp. 107–08.)
