The group in this photograph is frequently used in commercial advertising by the Psychology of Vision corporation and other New Age capitalists in the POV orbit as a way of merchandising their products and attempting to set a tone of carefree joy. We see them in different poses, usually presented as if they were actually members of the POV cult. It is really false advertising. Really false and misleading.
Anyway, I have seen this group enough times to start wondering who they are and what is the source of these studio graphics. It turns out these are stock photos by famed photographer Yuri Arcurs. From what I can see most of those in the POV universe who use these photos do so without any credit to Mr. Arcurs.
Below: Jeff Allen gets in on the action as well. I have also seen these studio models employed by Astrid Dehnel quite a bit. I can only assume there was some inter-cult memo directing everyone to use these stock photos for the official "look," either that or the POV followers are even less creative or original than even I thought they were.

Everything about POV is fake--even the supposed followers in their merchandising!
POV Canada finally changed their graphic this month to a nature scene.
