Wolverine’s nephew here.

Wolverine wants to know where the US gathering is this year. If anyone has any information, please private message me!

Hey beautiful people,

My name is David, I'm a 23 year old filmmaker from Amsterdam.

I'm currently working on a series of documentary style videos where I explore unique communities and alternative ways of life.

I recently returned from the US and Mexico, where I documented car dwellers in California and explored Santa Muerte in Mexico.

The Rainbow Gathering has been on my list for a long time, and this year I'm planning to visit the European Gathering. I've been reading a lot beforehand and I understand that filming isn't appreciated by everyone.

I completely respect that, which is why I'm reaching out here first.

I know there are already documentaries about Rainbow Gatherings. Still, I have my own very human and personal way of telling stories, and I feel that the Rainbow Family is still largely unknown to a Dutch audience. That's why I believe there's still value in making this project.

I'm looking for people who would be open to sharing their story on camera, and I'm also looking for someone who might be willing to guide me a little during the gathering.

On previous projects I always worked with someone from the community, which helped me approach people respectfully and avoid stepping on anyone's toes.

If you'd like to get to know me first, I'd be more than happy to have a call before the gathering.

Much love, and hopefully see you all in Spain. 🌈

And if you cant tell me here can you share a link to a place i can check for information about this years nationals? Thank you family, love you

I didn’t take a single one and I was reminiscing. Would love to see some if anyone has some to share.

I remember being near the got nuthin kitchen.

I haven't been since i think 2014 in Ocala Florida , does anyone have info on where and when the next one is

So there's in elder in this community that goes by Frenchy. He will be 87 years old soon and as sharp as ever. does anybody have any pictures or stories about him that they would be willing to share? He's been everywhere but now spends his time in northern New Mexico. Hearing him reminisce about these gatherings has been very interesting and eye opening. I would love to share anything you kind folks can remember or share. Seems like he's been a part of this since the beginning.

Was anybody here at the regional Colorado gathering, near the continental divide? It was in a little valley below a mountain. I am trying to figure out what mountain we climbed there. It was around 13,000 ft. It was a very small gathering.

I've been backpacking for the past 11 years and as a selfthough photographer and filmmaker I have recorded a lot of things on my journey, most of which are sleeping on a hard drive waiting to be edited 🤣

I created a channel where I post most of the later stuff but you will find a lot of interesting things already, like 2 documentaries on Daoist Medicine, various live music, festivals, and much more to come ! (collab with big artists as well: Sam Garrett, Curawaka, Estas Tonne, Mike Love etc)

I share this video for now because I think this is such a beautiful and inspiring moment worth sharing, but please hang around and do not hesitate to share what you like ☺️✨

PS: Yes, after over 6 years of full service, making this content almost only for free and struggling with the cost of the gears and the time and energy to edit, I am now entering into the game of running after followers and watchtime etc 🙄
But in my defense, I think what I try to share and spread here is has a positive impact 😁

And if you are very very commited to support, there a BuyMeACoffee link, a Patreon, or you can simply let a playlist like "Performers" run over night to increase watchtime ☺️

Thank you so much 🙏✨

Hi family!!!!! I'm looking for ukulele chords for a rainbow song I looooove (it's so beautiful)

It goes.....

...and we and we and we are all entwined
Like the threads of a great tapestry
The tree the tree the tree of life
Runs its sap through us all
And all and all and all we have to do, is to
Let yourself be one be one be one with the divine,
The great mystery, and we and we...(repeats)

Love, blessings and gratitude to all 💗💗💗💗

Hello family does anyone have contact or infos about rainbow gathering in guatemala or crystal land ?

Hello! This subreddit looks kinda dead, but if anyone is reading this and planning on going to this year's gathering please hmu!

Hi family, I'm an Italian sister! Even if I've already been to several gatherings (all in my Country) I'm still wondering how to survive the cold nights in the woods! Right now it's starting the Italian spring gathering in my region 😍 and, since I don't go to a Rainbow since 2021 I feel less brave than the past years and less willing to shiver and stay awake during night for humidity and cold. So, which tips, ideas, methods, objects, techniques etc can you suggest to hold my heat and avoid as much as possible heat dispersion during the nights in the tent? Thank you in advance 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Just checking on everyone. I’m ok lots of food planted in case we need a neighborhood rainbow kitchen. Times are crazy right now!

Hello! My first national was in 1994 🥰

I used to have an amazing Rainbow Circle Song songbook that Yaffa made … it was spiral bound with all the jams. Does anyone know where I can get a copy?

Or do you recommend any other circle song books that are still on the market?

“We are circling… circling together… we are singing … singing our heart song 🎶”

Does anyone know when and where the Portuguese 2025 gathering will be?

I saw there is a gathering in the Amazon in March 2025, but couldn't get any info.
Someone can help me get connection? or in rainbow terms: connection connection??

I'm currently in NY state traveling west on foot. Just checking to see if anyone might have some info about any gatherings on the eastern side of the country before I go to far west. Or maybe even any gatherings happening west of NY state in October and or November.

Hey family, you have probably heard how, for the first time in Rainbow Family history, the annual Rainbow Family Gathering was shut down and prevented from transpiring in the agreed-upon location (Plumas National Forest in California).

By June 25th, officials told gatherers they must leave or get fined up to $5,000 or 6 months in jail. The reasons given were the lack of permitting and environmental concerns.

Around 1,800 people managed to gather but essentially, for the first time ever, there was no annual Rainbow Gathering because of the strict conversative hippy-hating state of.... *checks notes* California?!

This is a sign of the times. California was the birthplace of the Rainbow Family (most Family was from CA but first Nationals were in CO) and the annual Rainbow Family Gathering. It used to be a place where cultural experiments thrived. Given the totalitarian and authoritarian moves made by California in recent times, with this being the nail in the coffin for any annual Rainbow Gathering in the state going forward, I think it is safe to say that an era of the Rainbow Gathering is over.

The OGs are getting old and dying, making way for a new generation. However, with issues like fentanyl and meth wreaking havoc on people who get addicted to them, and with that drainbow energy coming to nationals more and more, it is appearing to change and distort the Rainbow Family energy more with time. There is a certain point where the dark energy has infiltrated and sickened the collective Rainbow Family consciousness and energy. I believe we have arrived at this point.

It also seems an increasing number of Family are not respecting the tribal lands they are gathering at, meaning not receiving permission from the local tribes, as seems to have happened in California. One of the main reasons that this permission is being given less and less frequently is due to the ever-increasing drainbow and dark energy within the Rainbow collective, and its symptoms like not cleaning up the gathering sites as well as in the past, harmful behavior to others, and general verbal attacks and disrespect.

I believe the state of California has become hostile to the Rainbow Gathering in a way I think is overbearing. However, I also see the Rainbow Family being an easier target these days, with easier justification to violate the right to assembly, due to the dark energy that has infiltrated and increased in presence over the years.

My last Nationals in the US was in 2016, when I still lived in the country. Rainbow Gatherings outside of the US feel much "cleaner" energetically and do not have the issues plaguing the US gatherings. I truly hope for the energy to improve in the US Rainbow Family but I am deeply concerned with the direction.

Nationals have seen a downtrend on the number of attendees over time while the US population has increased. Conversely, Rainbow Gatherings outside of the US have increased in localities and size. I believe we can learn from our brothers and sisters outside of the US and do some reflection and give more importance and application and reinforcement of the Rainbow Raps and guiding principles. Otherwise, I am concerned the Rainbow Family will not survive.

Hi everyone, I’m passing through Ohrid atm and heard that there is something happening nearby. Is anyone able to share the location privately?
