10,000 People Chanted "OM" - A Prayer for World Peace at the Rainbow Gathering. July 1st - 7th We Shall See You in CALIFORNIA 2024 - Exact Location and Map Revealed June 15th


History: What it Looked Like in 2022...
Main Circle July 4th Colorado Rainbow Gathering

Gathering Colorado 2022 - newspaper photo



Here's a Closeup Photo from Years Ago...
Rainbow Gathering July 4th OM Chant 
What IS The Rainbow Gathering? For Me, It's Woodstock with Amateur Musicians and I'm in the Band... It's a Week Long Backpack Trip for Thousands of People...

Many People put a Lot of Effort into Building Kitchens to Cook Food and We All have Giant Communal Meals... Others Build Giant Bonfires... Many People Bring Musical Instruments... Drums, Guitars, Flutes, Harmonicas... Others Teach Classes in Self Healing... Some read Tarot Cards... Whatever it is That Interests YOU is what Happens at the Gathering... Some Trade Hand Made Crafts, Crystals or Tie Dye T-Shirts... Some People Take Psychedelic Drugs and Marijuana but Alcohol is Only Allowed in the Parking Lot... AA & NA Have Meetings... Some people do Fire Dancing with Flaming Kerosene Balls on the end of short Chains... People Work Building Slit Trench Latrines and Clean Water Delivery Systems... Others work as Volunteer Doctors and Nurses... Rangers from the National Park Service are there in case you have an Emergency they Can Radio for a Medi-Vac Helicopter...

I like bringing Extra Food to Share... Especially Small Bags of M&M Chocolate...

And on July 4th at NOON There is a Group "OM" Chant Holding Hands... Like in the Photo Below...




Thousands of People chant OM. This photo was snapped just before I decided it was time to put away the camera and experience the event… Yes, it’s important to remember to LIVE LIFE instead of DOCUMENTING LIFE.

The Last time we had a Gathering in California was 2004... The Modoc County Site was Excellent! Easy Walk from the Parking Lot, Easy Parking in a Large Field... Huge Main Meadow... and This Gathering Had about 20,000 people attending... WHY? Because it was Located Near Large Cities... an easy One Day Drive from LA, San Francisco, Seattle and Vancouver... Obviously THIS is What The People Want... That's the REASON so many People Showed UP! Near the Town of Likely on Highway #395.



and Marijuana is Legal in California...
but NOT on Federal Land...
and this is Federal Land

Ignore all rumors of cancellation or organization!

Site specific RAP 107:

This area is absolutely beautiful. Please do everything in your power to minimize your personal impact and to have a safe and healthy gathering.
There may be many animals in the road or crossing the roads—elk, deer, antelope, cows, and sheep. You are entering their home. Please respect their need to be left in peace. Slow down and enjoy them, look around at the countryside that is their backdrop.
Greater sandhill cranes have their breeding grounds in the area. Please stay away from nesting sites if you come across them, and talk to someone at Info about flagging the areas as sensitive.
There are boreal toads that will sing you to sleep at night. To protect their habitat, please stay out of streams and wet, marshy, or willow-y areas.
Even though elk calving season is officially over, there are still random calves being born. They do not move from their birthing place for two weeks. Please take every care to avoid them, and to move away from them if you do see them. They are very vulnerable at this age.
There are a lot of standing dead trees onsite. They are called “widow makers” for a reason. Make sure your tent in not at risk.
Remember that drinking water directly from the source can lead to Giardia. Filtered is water available all over the site. You can fill your containers at the tap, or from the large jugs at the kitchens. Don’t touch the thing to the thing.
Sun exposure at high altitude is a risk. Wear sunscreen, broad brimmed hats, etc. Mosquitos are abundant.

Finally, leave no trace. Pack it in, Pack it out. We love you!

This promises to be an especially great Gathering this year!

Remember: Colorado is High Elevation and Cold at Night. Go a Few Days Early to Get Acclimated... Bring Warm Clothes, Sleeping Bag... Bring Plenty of Food and Chocolate! ... Bring a Bag of Tobacco for "Nic @ Nite" --- Bring a Cup to use when they are serving free food! Remember: Sunburn is a Real Health Hazard at High Elevation.

The First Amendment to the US Constitution: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

So... While Local People & Police May SAY that it's an Illegal Gathering... The First Amendment to the Constitution Always Guarantees the Right to Peaceably Assemble... and That's What We Are Doing!

BB asks: As a first time family member of the upcoming gathering, I need to know what items to bring. I will be in my camper van so I have the luxury of more space. What do tent people often run out of that I can bring to share? What fun items should I bring? I have my drum and playing cards, for example. What else?

I replied: Bring Food... Enough to feed yourself for a week... Bring Tobacco to share with the Nic@nite people... Bring Warm Clothes because Colorado is Cold at High Elevation... Bring Flashlights! I've always had to backpack in and so I traveled light... Instead of bringing a drum I brought Harmonicas and TEAK STICKS... Very Light Weight... Often it's a Long Walk from the Parking Lot to the Welcome Home Kitchen so... Figure That You will be Bringing Everything you want in One trip.

EF Said: I suspect this gathering will be high elevation and cold. I recommend blankets or warm layers for people who come from low elevation climates and don’t understand how to prepare for cold Colorado nights. Also bringing kick downs for kitchens is always great! Over at Instant Soup Kitchen we can never get enough fresh produce, dried fruits and nuts and nut butters.

Inside the Marimba Tent - California Rainbow Gathering 2004 - gvan42

As some folks have asked about clean/sober space and meetings in the woods. SereniTea Ridge is indeed focalizing our camp for the annual gathering! We could use all the help we can get, so if you’d be interested in camping/connecting with us, please let us know!

SereniTea Ridge at the Rainbow Gathering - meme

Preamble For Serenitea Ridge:
We are a fellowship of men and women who share our strength, experience, and hope with each other that we may solve our common problem and help others to recover from the disease of addiction.
We come together every summer at the National Rainbow Gathering to share our vision of peace, love, and healing for our Mother and for us, her children. We realize that we know only a little and that more will be revealed if we are willing to place our trust in spirit. We hold 12-step meetings in our camp twice a day, at Rainbow Noon and Dark Thirty. All are welcome, regardless of age, gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, or drug of choice. Any person in recovery is welcome even if your recovery is not chemically-related. Because of the nature of our sensitivities, we ask that Serenity Ridge and Brew HaHa Tea Kitchen remain chemical-FREE. That includes caffeine and nicotine. We ask that you respect our serenity by respecting these requests and join us as we share this life in recovery.

Words of Advice:
The gathering is going to be in high elevation. That is a given. There is always a hike in. Some yrs as far as 4 miles although it has been less in the last several yrs. This is primitive camping. There are only slit latrines with little privacy. No portapotties. Please be prepared for these obstacles. If there is a medical emergency it could take time to assess care. This has always been the nature of the gathering. For our new family we welcome you but be aware this is not a festival.If you come before 7/1 then you are at seed camp. You must be prepared to be self sufficient and pitch in.Everyone will help as much as possible but be prepared for cold weather and maybe a fire ban. Our focus is building a community in the woods where we as a family are self sufficient as we prepare for our silence and prayer on the July 4th. It's going to be epic, even if it isn't easy.

Photographs and Story of My Journey to the Rainbow Gatherings in California, Idaho, Pennsylvania and Utah...

What IS the Rainbow Gathering? 

To me, it's Woodstock with amateur musicians and I’m in the band…

Rainbow Bridge in the Sky Photo
I Said: We all saw something like that at the Rainbow Gathering in Idaho 2001... People out in Main Meadow were pointing and shouting as if a UFO was landing... I left our campsite under the trees to see what the comotion was... and saw a giant rainbow in the sky that persisted for about a half an hour... Bliss!

and AP Replied: At the 78 gathering in Oregon, it had rained cats and dogs for days and days. On the 4th after the OM, the very second it went quiet, the sun came out over our huge circle with a rainbow from one side of the circle to the other. That was enough to make a believer of me that something else was at play in those moments!


Welcome Home!

"How do you think we look... to the Future?" 
- Big End

"They won't think of us. Anymore than we think of the Victorians. I don't mean the Icons but the ordinary actual living souls." - Case P 

"I think they'll hate us." - Helena

"Souls... Souls? Of Course, We Have No Idea Now of Who or What the Inhabitants of our Future Might Be... In that sense we have no Future...  Not in the sense that our grandparents had a future, or thought they did. Fully imagined cultural futures with the luxury of another day. One in which "Now" was of some greater duration. For us of course, Things can change so abruptly, so violently, so profoundly that futures like our grandparents have insufficient "Now" to stand on... We Have No future because our present is too volatile.  We have only Risk Management The "Spinning" of the given moments scenarios... Pattern Recognition... " - Big End

I want to say something that is going to be shocking for a lot of people to hear and utterly obvious to others. Here it is.
We like to think that colonization was something that Europeans did to indigenous people here in the Americas. We don't remember that Europeans were already colonized. They colonized themselves and each other first. We also don't want to admit that we, today, are colonized. Instead we pretend that colonization started with European contact of the New World and that European descended people, white people, aren't colonized.
I'm speaking here as someone who is both native and European in descent and upbringing.
What does it mean to be colonized?
This is the question that can peel the layers of forgetting from our eyes.
To be colonized means to be divided and conquered. It means that our relationships to ourselves, each other, to the earth and to the sacred have been torn asunder.
Instead of relationships with the land and with the sacred, with the beings that nourish our bodies... we are offered commodities. We are taught that working for someone, enriching them, scraping by, eating food from cans, and fighting with each other for crumbs is what life IS. Our minds are colonized. We struggle to imagine any other way of life.
Colonization began in Eurasia around the time of agriculture. It is a breaking of the hunter gatherer relationships with the land. Hierarchy, the control of most people by a few, is inherent to post-agricultural systems. The sacredness of the Earth and of the feminine was slowly torn apart. War gods became ascendant until finally one god of thunder and smiting enemies, of controlling sexuality, cursing the Earth and damning women became the Only god.
Live by the Bible or die by the sword. Europeans did this to Europeans for thousands of years before they got on big ships, sailed around the world and brought this spiritual sickness to the Americas, to Turtle Island.
Millions of women were tortured and burned for knowing too much about herbs, about healing or childbirth, about contraception or abortion, about controlling their own bodies. The Inquisition went on for hundreds of years.
Slavery was endemic to the colonizer way of life. It is built into the Bible, condoned by god *himself.*
Colonization is the destruction of the buffalo to bring the plains tribes to their knees. It's the replacement of the sacred relationship between hunter and hunted with the monetized relationship between worker and corporation and product. It is taking away our ability to meet our own needs and then selling it back to is, reduced, deprived of nutrients, packaged and for a premium.
We can talk about colonization as limited to a certain time, conditional on a subset of historical contexts, but the roots of the mindsets which allow for colonization are present long before the stumbling upon of Turtle Island.
Colonization is the mentality which pits man against man, man against woman, man against nature and which commands obedience, slavery and the helpless dependence of the masses on the god-like powers of the elites. Colonization requires that we enslave ourselves. It means being broken.
To decolonize ourselves means learning to relate to the world again, learning to plant seeds without scarring the ground, learning how to feed our babies from the soil, how to build with the materials around us, how to live in community with those around us and with the natural world. Decolonization is about restoring the relationships between all things. It is about re-membering the sacred, literally putting the pieces of everything back together and honoring the Mystery which pervades all things. It is about taking care of the least of us and requiring that our leaders face the same conditions as everybody else.
Decolonization is about restoring what has been broken in our lineages for so, so long. It's about reclaiming our intrinsic wholeness and sacredness. This is only done by recognizing our relatedness, our intrinsic interdependence, and by throwing away all ideas of greater and lesser. There is only the whole, reflected in its many parts. We are the buffalo. They are our relatives. We are the soil. Literally. The rocks are our ancestors. The stars are our ancestors. Literally. We are one family. We are wakan. We are sacred. We are powerful. To remember these things, to put them back together in our minds, to restore our own wholeness, the wholeness of our communities which includes not only our human relatives but our rooted and our winged and our four legged relatives, this is what it means to decolonize.
The most powerfully subversive thing we can do is unhook from dependence on the corporate-feudal lords. We can grow our own food and share it with our relatives. We can give back in a good way to the Earth. We can love and stand by each other. These are the most subversive, and also the most natural things to do.
My prayer for humanity is that we remember before it is too late, that we make whole what has been broken.

and then on FaceBorg I Read: 
Do you want to live in a hellhole third world country where one power hungry, money hungry political party and its' Supreme Court rules your life and the lives of your children? Do you want to live in a society that allows your government to sanction a form of legalized murder? The sacrifice of innocent children is the most damnable and despicable of all human-created horrors on Earth. Nowhere does the US Constitution state "any American citizen has the right to own a military-style rapid-fire weapon." Nowhere does the Constitution state "the blood of the pure and weak shall be the first to flow."
The Republicans have sold their corrupt and wicked souls to the gun manufacturers. And the Supreme Court is guarding their cowardly backs.
I believe all of my Facebook friends know how I feel about guns. In the final analysis they are only good for two things: killing animals and murdering people.

and then I read:
Watching the gop try and twist themselves into something they can never be is amusing....."I did great cause I had portable mortuaries." Well how about showing people the way to avoid needing one? THE trump gop failed this country on covid...Hell trump couldn't even convince people to wear a damn mask...Because his tough guy vanity prevents him from acknowledging any kind of weakness..So instead of leadership in a time of trouble we got noise...Noise about unproven treatments, China and shear stupidity. Instead of trained and educated professionals, we got a blustering child with the emotional development of a 5 year old...And an ego the size of Jupiter...This one EVENT showed that not only could not trump lead...but he was not even capable of putting aside his own vanity, to help save the lives of fellow Americans! And some of you want him back?? Please if you do....go to the nearest mirror, throw water in your face...and ask yourself " what the hell is wrong with me that I cannot see what is obvious to the MAJORITY of my neighbors! " Propaganda is the answer to that question..Propaganda!

In this modern age of social media dominance, Facebook has become an integral part of our daily lives, allowing us to connect, share, and express ourselves. However, personal experiences and reflections can sometimes lead us to question the prevailing norms. This essay explores the journey of rethinking Facebook and the desire to create a unique page, characterized by original content and thought-provoking essays on political and current events.
A Shift in Perspective:
Falling down and bruising my ribs has given me a unique opportunity to reassess the way I engage with social media platforms like Facebook. The physical pain has sparked a metaphorical pain within, urging me to reconsider the purpose and value of my online presence.
Differentiating My Page:
Amidst a sea of similar content, I aspire to stand out and offer something distinctive to my Facebook followers. Instead of merely sharing random posts or articles, I intend to primarily feature essays I have personally written. These essays will revolve around political topics and ongoing events, allowing me to express my thoughts, analysis, and opinions.
The Power of Thought-Provoking Essays:
Essays have a unique ability to stimulate critical thinking and encourage meaningful discussions. By sharing well-researched and thoughtful pieces, I hope to create an engaging and intellectually stimulating environment for my audience. Through these essays, I aim to provide perspectives, insights, and analysis that encourage individuals to reflect upon and question societal and political issues.
Keeping Up with Today's News:
Recognizing the importance of staying informed, I will make it a priority to write and share highlights of the day's news. This will help ensure that my audience remains up to date with the latest developments and allows for conversations on current events.
Subjects of Interest:
As I embark on this journey, I would love to gauge the interests of my audience and cater to their preferences. While my main focus will be on political and current events, I am open to exploring various subjects. Here are some areas that could potentially pique your interest:
a) Socio-political issues: Analysis of policies, societal trends, and their impacts.
b) Global events: Coverage of international affairs, diplomatic relations, and geopolitical dynamics.
c) Environmental concerns: Exploring climate change, sustainability, and ecological challenges.
d) Technological advancements: Discussions on the impact of emerging technologies on society, privacy concerns, and ethical considerations.
e) Cultural and artistic expressions: Essays delving into literature, film, music, and other forms of art as reflections of our society.
:
Rethinking our engagement with social media platforms like Facebook allows us to break free from the norms and create a page that reflects our unique perspectives and interests. By focusing on original content in the form of thought-provoking essays on political and current events, we can foster intellectual engagement, critical thinking, and meaningful discussions. Let us embrace the power of knowledge-sharing and strive to make our online presence truly distinctive, challenging the status quo and contributing to a more informed and enlightened society.
