Anybody have any experience with the 2000 Montana gathering site? Anything we should know?

 

Hi all I am a mother of a son who is going to this event in Montana, I believe in experiencing everything you can in life.. so I encourage this. But I am a MOM and I worry. I would like to know what he should bring as far as food, shelter, comforts, etc. He is a Hip Hop artist and very political, not sure you all will like his approach to change in his lyrics as for we in this family do not believe that there is a way for peaceful change any longer.. but that is his gig not mine. I think you all will enjoy his intellect and his word smithing but again, up to him if he partakes. My main concern and I have a day to prepare is what he will need to be safe, comfortable and not a burden to all.
Please reply you can email direct if you like to tetonmoon61@gmail.com Thanks Tessa

 

Hope the family stays that way! Social distancing at a Rainbow Gathering seems like mission impossible. Shiny, happy people holding hands! Let's hope Covid-19 has been licked by then. Otherwise, the gatherers may get an even chillier reception than usual.
