    !Welcome Home!
    40th Annual Rainbow Family Gathering of the Tribes

    Rap 107
    Gathering Consciousness

    Walk softly. Harm no living thing. Harmonize - Blend in. Use only down, dead wood. Do not cutliving trees. Preserve the Meadows . . . camp in the Woods. And remember, We are caretakers of this land.
    Everyone sharing makes a strong Human Tribe!

    Please Protect the Water Sources by staying out of DELICATEspring areas. Avoid camping, peeing or washing above spring areas. Keep ALL soap out of streams, springs or the creek! Use a bucket to take your bath 300 feet away from the water source. To be certain drinking water is safe: boil it for ten minutes at a rolling boil!

    Use the slit trenches or covered latrines - cover your paper & waste with ashes or lime, wash hands afterwards. Break the fly/illness connection: shit-fly-food-you! Dig no shitters near water areas or kitchens.
    Protect our Health!
    Use your own cup, bowl & spoon! Wash them after eating and rinse in bleach-water. Go to C.A.L.M. if you feel ill - especially if you have a contagious disease - or are injured.

    Camp Together – Establish neighborhoods.Community Fires only! Keep a 5 gallon bucket of water and shovel nearby for Fire Protection. If you are the last to leave a fire PUT IT OUT! Please, NO fireworks! Keep you camp secure. “Tempt Not Lest Ye Be Lifted From.”

    Pets are discouraged, but if you must bring them, keep them fed, on a leash and out of the kitchens, springs & fights. Clean up their poop. Love them.
    PACK IT IN - PACK IT OUT !!!

    Cleanup begins when you arrive. Please bring only what is necessary. There is no janitor here . . . YOU are the cleanup crew.Separate Garbage for recycling. Please DON’T LITTER - Find a collection point. Compost in pits only.
    You are the Gathering!

    Participate and Volunteer! Participate in Shanti Sena (the peace keepers council), work crews, workshops, councils and all activities. Volunteer wherever and whenever needed: kitchens, welcome home, firewatch, parking lot, shitter digging, supply, front gate, etc. R-E-S-P-E-C-T your Sisters’ & Brothers’ energies.

    Keep the Balance: Earth, Sky, Trees, Water & People!

    Alcohol is Discouraged, Guns are Inappropriate, Violence is contrary to the Spirit. Please do not take pictures or videos of people without asking their permission first. Discourage Drug Abuse.

    Buying and selling endangers our right to be here.The Magic Hatis our Bank, please donate early to fund our needs. The Magic Hat goes around at Dinner Circle and with the Magic Hat Band.

    Our power together is many times our power separated.

    Enjoy the Rainbow with an open heart and you Will see the Vision.

    Join us on July 4th for a Silent Contemplation & Prayer for Peace, respect those maintaining silence from dawn.

    Hold the silence until the arrival of the Children’s Parade.

    When on-Site... PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD.... BUILD UP, NOT DIG DOWN... meaning build HEARTHS.... i.e. on ground spread rocks, and dirt, then build FIRE UP... i.e. so when clean-up remove ashes... dirt, rocks... water the roots of the grass underneath... Meadows are delicate....


    As of June 17 there is still lots of snow so if you're coming soon, be prepared. These directions will probably be updated in the next day or two so check back. These directions were verified 6/17 @ 3 PM. BE PREPARED FOR ROUGH CONDITIONS FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS AND BE SELF SUFFICIENT AS THIS IS STILL SEED CAMP.

    Be prepared for cool and wet weather. Please bring an extra jacket, blanket or sleeping bag for family who show up in flip flops and hoodies.
    6/18/11 @ 5 AM Word is that the kidz in seed camp are shovelling snow to clear the roads--which gives you some idea of how cold it still is. SEED CAMPers WILL WALK Thru SNOW!!
